Gloucester’s Tin Can Sally to show at Gallery 53 on Rocky Neck
53 Rocky Neck Avenue, Gloucester, MA 01930
Gallery hours, Daily, 10:00-6:00 PM
Tin Can Sally is the second artist in the Summer Artist Series at Gallery 53 on Rocky Neck. Her show opens on Wednesday, June 8, with the gala opening reception on Saturday, June 11, from 6-8 pm. The public is invited.
Tin Can Sally (Sally Seamans) creates birds, fish, jewelry, collages, mobiles, and more from printed tin containers of all shapes and sizes. She finds tins at yard sales, flea markets, antique shops and serendipity. She is a tin hunter/gatherer. Some of the tins she uses are olive oil, cookie, coffee, tea, candy, biscuit, soy sauce, mustard, ethnic foods, popcorn and sewing tins. “I greatly appreciate any tins that are kindly recycled my way,” says Semans. She is also known as Sally Seamans of Gloucester, MA

I’ve been to Tin Can Sally’s workshop to view her handiwork firsthand…. and it IS handiwork! Each piece is cut with heavy-duty shears or punched out (as I recall?)…. carefully making sure that the tin is not distorted, crimped or rippled in any way….the pieces are then assembled with tiny rivets (and glue?)… TCS’s various hand-crafted items are colorful, whimsical and most imaginative. (Rumor has it that she’s working on a clothing line??!!)
