At 6:30 pmish, we will settle up our tabs and walk around the corner to the Gardiner Ceramic Museum.
We will head up stairs to their exhibition place on the third floor to see
After the Island: Caribbean Canadian Ceramics
Clay receives the gestures of the human body. Hands press, scrape, squeeze, and pour it. Forms are fixed by heat, becoming permanent yet breakable.

Then we will head to the second floor, to look at what I call Not Your Mother's China.
Earthenwares, represented by ceramics from the Ancestral Abiayala, Italian Renaissance maiolica, and English delftware; and Porcelain, with a focus on European porcelain of the 18th century, including specialized collections of Commedia dell’Arte figures and scent bottles.
Everytime I see this exhibit, I find some very cool stuff.
