Discover the Passion Behind Hei Pottery
Since the dawn of mankind, pottery has served as a benchmark for tracing the development of civilization throughout the ages.
Humble clay has been moulded, shaped, squeezed, caressed, and crafted to take on tasks as infinite as the stars in the sky. It can be as utilitarian as a plate or a bowl, or as exotic as an idea that, for the first time, sees the light of day. The measure of human endeavour and imagination knows no bounds. Just when you think you have grasped the shape and meaning of your creation, a new dimension emerges—one that appears at the very moment inspiration strikes.
Hei Pottery embraces this eternal human quest: the desire to create something that says, “This is me. What you see before you is my art. I—and only I—could have brought this into existence.”

Unveiling the Journey of Hei Porttery
There is no better place to express this creativity than in Canada, a vast land rich in natural materials for pottery. Clay drawn from the earth is cleansed by water from pristine lakes and purified by Canadian air—an environment envied by many nations.
Hei Pottery adds yet another dimension to the craft: a holistic approach. The process of creating a piece calls for calmness, focus, patience, and the stirring of inner peace and imagination. The final work becomes something from which the creator can draw strength.
There is no “bad” pottery, for each piece is unique, with no twin to call brother or sister. Each one stands alone. When you embark on your pottery journey, you step into a world entirely your own. You pour your passion and ideas into your creation, and in the end, you hold a piece that no one else can claim as theirs.

ABOUT
Hi, I’m Jean —
founder of Hei Pottery
My journey with ceramics began with a simple curiosity for handmade art and grew into a deep commitment to craftsmanship. Over the years, I explored Japan, Jingdezhen, and various parts of Europe, immersing myself in museums, ceramic studios, and traditional workshops where clay culture is rooted in everyday life.
These experiences shaped my belief that pottery is more than a craft — it is a rhythm, a meditation, and a way of capturing stories through the hands.
Hei Pottery was founded with this philosophy: to share the beauty of handmade ceramics and to create a space where people can slow down, learn, and reconnect with creativity.
