Set in an open-spaced barn-like setting, enjoy free-flowing conversation with other fun loving creative people. Whether you’ve been teaching collegian level art classes for decades or you just like to work with your hands making anything, you will enjoy the no-pressure environment at the Tin Can.
Staff:
Keelie Wurster – Owner
Keelie obtained a business degree with a minor in psychology from Ashland University in 2003. She worked with the YMCA for over 11 years creating programs and working with children and the community.
Although, she doesn’t have any formal art training she loves to create, learn and “try everything”. Her love of travel and exploring has helped with the vision of the TCC. When she is not at the TCC, she can be found on the family farm, in her workshop or hanging out with her kiddos.
Nataleigh Everett-Ceramicist
Amanda Kenscan-ceramics
Amanda is a jack of all trades! She has a great eye for unique builds or abstract paintings. Her patience and attention to detail is impressive. She mostly teaches ceramics (wheel lessons and hand building).
Tanner Eitman – Stained Glass
Tanner has a Bachelor’s in Science in Architecture from the University of Cincinnati. During that program, she interned in Connecticut, New York City, and San Diego. In San Diego she was introduced to Stained Glass, and mosaics. Since graduating in 2017, she has gone abroad to France for a year as an Au Pair. In France she looked after three children. Upon return to the United States, she has come to the realization that office jobs aren’t for her. Thats where the Tin Can comes in. Since discovering the Tin Can in October, She has enjoyed playing with ceramics and applying what she learned in college to the designs at the Tin Can.
When she’s not here she works at the Starbucks in Ashland. She also enjoys taking walks, reading, and crocheting. She believes that everyone is capable of creating something that they can be proud of.
Megan Gallaway – Event/staff Coordinator
Megan graduated from The University of Findlay with a Bachelors of Art in Multi-Age Visual Arts. Art has always been a huge love and hobby of hers. She is excited to help direct others down that same path at the Tin Can. She loves teaching others to be creative and exploring different styles of art even if they think they’re not “artsy”.
Megan taught Art in grades K-8th grade in Sidney, Ohio. She believes that visual art education is a huge part of a student’s education and that the arts teach a student to become more confident in decision making and problem-solving.
Megan loves helping first timers jump into walk in projects at the Tin Can while working and soon will have many art classes for the youth. When she isn’t at the Tin Can you may see Megan substituting within the city schools or hanging out and about with her son, Easton.
