Heather Waugh Pitts is a ceramicist who hails from where Nova Scotia’s seacoast meets the industrial refinery lands her family worked at for generations. The clay she hand-builds tells her story; raw, authentic, and fired to fine porcelain.
The surface landscape of tank fields, gravel pits, swamps, forests, the Atlantic Ocean, and her family’s extraordinary gardens has informed her creations.
After graduating with a BSC in Human Ecology, she studied interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary relationships between humans and their natural, social, and built environments.
While raising her family, she became the principal owner and designer of a successful interior design company, a mural and fresco company, working on cathedrals, resorts, restaurants, clinics, residential projects, designer showcases, and a design column, having her work published.
A community pottery studio is where she began to hand-build clay, creating her own ceramics studio in 2020.
