Tyler James Goin: BC Achievement Foundation
Tyler James Goin is an emerging voice in contemporary ceramics and metal-based craft, recognized for sculptural works that merge industrial precision with emotional depth. With nearly two decades of creative exploration across painting, music, and writing—and early mentorship from sculptor Tony Bloom—Tyler brings rare interdisciplinary fluency to his practice. His foundation as a Red Seal Millwright in Vancouver’s heavy industrial sector grounds his work in structure, material sensitivity, and a deep respect for process.
Tyler’s practice centres on large-scale ceramics and forged metalwork that evoke the strength and solitude of the mountainous landscapes he grew up in. His forms carry a quiet complexity—pieces that feel both monumental and intimate. With a growing presence in BC’s design and craft community, Tyler exemplifies the values of innovation, resilience, and material intelligence.
Tyler is the fifth recipient of the Judson Beaumont Emerging Artist designation, named in honour of the late BC-based furniture designer.
