Our Story
Blue Fish Collective has been a beloved part of Port Alberni since its founding in 2013. Inspired by the dream of its original owner & master potter, Cheryl Iwanowsky. The collective celebrates local artisanship, community, and creativity. Nestled in a charming character home, the shop offers a magical experience, connecting customers with beautiful, one-of-a-kind items and heartfelt stories.

About Lisa
Welcome to Blue Fish Collective! I’m Lisa, an artist at heart, and the collective is truly a reflection of my journey. This space has brought healing through the energy of the artists’ work and the connections with our wonderful customers.
Creating is my passion—especially designing wearable art inspired by the organic beauty of the ocean. Working with treasures tumbled by the waves brings me so much joy, and I’m excited to return to my bench soon to create new jewelry pieces for the collective. Stay tuned!
For me, Blue Fish Collective is more than a shop; it’s a safe and relaxing space where we share stories, support one another, and celebrate beautiful handmade art. The energy in our little blue house is what makes this collective so special—an experience loved by all who visit.
