Your Story in Clay
Working with stoneware clay, participants will first experience Shary Boyle's "Outside the Palace of Me" exhibition and will have the opportunity to incorporate themes and inspiration from the exhibition in a 3-hour clay workshop. Workshop participants will use personal items such as heirlooms, textures, textiles and other important found objects in the home to add to their sculpture work. This is a fundamentals workshop and will introduce participants to working with the medium of clay.
No previous experience working with clay is necessary.

Events & Programs
Taking inspiration from Toby Rabinowitz’s exhibition, A World Within A World, visitors can choose an animal silhouette provided by us and decorate it with brightly-coloured patterns using various shapes and materials.
Toby’s artwork is full of bright, imagined worlds with magical creatures and friends playing together. She says her work is for kids and happy adults – make sure you stop in to look for yourself in the art gallery on level 4.
What magical creature will you create?
Drop-in program – no registration is required.
