• Vendor Spotlight: Earthen Lore Ceramics

    Vancouver Island Pagan Pride welcomes Earthen Lore Ceramics!

    I make pottery inspired by green witchery, our west coast forests, the playfulness of mushrooms, and local healing plants. Using glazes and clay bodies that reflect an organic look to bring awareness to the beauty of the natural world and the need to preserve it.

  • Vendor Highlight: Beyond the Thickets

    Vancouver Island Pagan Pride welcomes Beyond the Thickets!

    Beyond the Thickets launched their online shop in June 2021 on Summer Solstice with the goal of creating a community for gardeners, artists, spiritual practitioners, and nature lovers alike.

    Beyond the Thickets is inspired by the Hedge Witch. An homage to the wise women of old who often lived on the outskirts of the villages (in this case, the thickets). They intertwine our modern world with practices of the past.

    They sell new, repurposed, and handmade items ranging from garden decor, fairy homes, alter dolls, jewelry, and much more!

    You can visit Beyond the Thickets on Pagan Pride Day August 13th!

  • Vendor Highlight: Moon Walker Magick

    Vancouver Island Pagan Pride welcomes Moon Walker Magick!

    Sea Salt & Spoons. We use sustainably harvested sea water from the south coast of Vancouver Island. As a family business, we make sure we harvest ethically and responsibly. We do all the distillation in Circle in our home. The spoons are gathered from the driftwood on the beach where the water is collected.

    Soul Salt (black salt) has ceremonial ashes mixed in to make for more potent magick. It is only made twice a year, at Beltane and Yule.

  • Vendor Highlight: Emma Heitzmann Art Studio

    Vancouver Island Pagan Pride welcomes Emma Heitzmann Art Studio!

    Emma Heitzmann is an emerging artist who especially enjoys sculptural work. Much of her current work is ceramic and she enjoys it when what she makes has a functional as well as artistic design.

    Emma moved to Comox Valley in late 2011 having graduated from a graphic design program in Calgary and has been a part of the Fine Arts Program at NIC since 2012. She loves playing with clay and spending time exploring the alchemy of ceramics to develop new projects from the natural world. She also has been exploring the wider realm of sculpture in metal and wood and alternative materials within the last year.

    Emma’s eclectic background is reflected in what she chooses to shape in clay. You might find a set of four ‘Metta-meditation cups’ or a whimsical figure from the latest fantasy novel she’s read. Some of her latest creations range from fungi-inspired cups and tea-pots to bee decorated plates and bowls she’s christened ‘bee-ware.’  All pieces marry the principles of purpose to the fires of the imagination.

    Emma is devoted to mastery in her craft and revels with glee in the possibilities of what she can create next. She shares her knowledge by volunteering in pottery programs at the Campbell River recreation center. She welcomes inquiries about commissioned work.

  • Vendor Highlight: EH Pottery

    Vancouver Island Pagan Pride welcomes EH Pottery!

    ehpotteryMy name is Emma, and I am passionate about ceramic art. I love playing with clay and spending time exploring the alchemy of ceramics to develop new projects from the natural world. Some of my creations range from fungi-inspired cups and tea-pots to bee decorated plates and bowls I’ve christened ‘bee-ware. Working with clay and ceramics, I find a connection to each and every element in our magical realm. Earth through clay, water to shape, fire to harden, air to decorate and spirals at the heart of everything. As I continue to create in the physical realm, I find new ways to create not just objects, but pieces that matter and have meaning behind them.

    The idea of each piece I create being used for something, as part of a morning ritual of coffee or a sharing of a drink with friends is extremely satisfying to me. Specific pieces intended for ritual have begun to make their way into my work as well.
