My company is sending me to Toronto for two weeks and I'm looking for
suggestions on how to spend a couple of good hours, ceramics wise, while I'm
there.
Thanks

Hi Patti:
I've been living in Toronto for just two years now and have found
a vast array
of stimulating visual arts experiences. You could plan to go to the Art
Gallery of Ontario and catch the `Transformation' show -- its a
celebration of award winners in Canadian craft. Steve Heinemann, a
ceramic artist, is of special note here. Just around the corner (On
McCaul Street beside the Ontario College of Art and Design) is Prime
Gallery--a private gallery that is devoted to fine craft and also has a
current showing of four of the award recipients. Across the street is the
Ontario Crafts Council with its Craft Gallery, Resource Centre and store.
Other places of interest that carry ceramics are:
The Guild Shop, 118 Cumberland St. (fine crafts)
Lynn Robinson Atelier, 709 Queen St. W. (her speciality is raku)
The Craft Studio, at the York Quay Centre at Habourfront (displays,studios
and stores)
There are a number of guides that give up-to-date listings of gallery and
art shows
in the city and surrounding areas. Look for 'Slate', 'Stride', the Ontario
Crafts Council's 'Craft Directory', a brochure called 'Canadian Crafts in
Toronto' and pick up the weekly arts and entertainment guides, 'Now' and
'Eye'. If you are interested in artist-run centres (encompassing all art
mediums), I highly recommend 'A Space' and 'Gallery 44' at 401 Richmond
St. W. or a private gallery devoted to ecological art exploring the
relationship between nature and humans, 'DeLeon White Gallery' at 455 King
St. W.
I'm sure you will have no problem filling a couple hours here. Have a
good trip.

Patti,
We just returned from a short trip to Toronto. I would highly recommend
the Royal Ontario Museum, ROM for short.( Off Bloor St.) They have
examples of many periods of ceramics and some mosaic work. Many pots as
well as plates. The lobby has a beautiful mosaic with gold tiles on the
ceiling. Across the street, for a separate admission, is a Ceramic
Museum which we did not visit. I was so impressed with the ROM! Try not
to miss it! We got a discount coupon for visiting their site on the
internet for our family.

There are several small galleries to check out in Toronto. Also, plan to
use the public transportation system...it's MUCH easier to get around and
cheaper than a car. We found them pretty safe, too. Also, the trains
go about everywhere. Even out to some other towns, so you can do day
trips. We loved it there. Have fun! And don't miss the Gardiner Museum
( the ceramics part of the ROM)
