The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery is a true gem! The rotating exhibitions constantly surprise and inspire me with their amazing artworks. It's a joy to see the new pieces every time I visit. I love how they provide a drop-by section, especially for kids, where they can showcase their creativity. The gallery offers paper and color pencils, making it easy for everyone to participate. The current theme of "design your own fairy tea set" was a delightful experience, and I had a great time crafting my own creation (attached picture). What's even better is that this museum is always free for the public! It's incredible how they prioritize accessibility and ensure that art is available to all. The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery is a must-visit for art enthusiasts and families alike. With its ever-changing exhibitions, creative opportunities, and commitment to inclusivity, it's a place where imagination comes to life.

This is a fantastic little gallery. My daughter came here for a weeklong camp and she had a great time. The staff was friendly and encouraging, provided guidance, but also gave a lot of freedom to create whatever they wanted. At the end of the week, the kids got to bring in their family to show off what they had worked on, which was nice. There's a nice gift shop too, with a lot of beautiful pieces you can bring home, though they are pricey, as you would expect. Great place for a short visit, or to sign up kids for art camp.

Great experience, went with my child's school field trip. The staff were knowledgeable about the different materials and methods used. Created a clay pinch pot, painted it, and now we can check back in a few weeks once they've fired it in the kiln. Many different types of art on display. Pieces that vary in size from a couple inches square, right up to human sized pieces. They have many different vases, teapots, and other jar like items. Tiles, plates, serving platters, abstract art, and more!

We decided to visit the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery one of the weekends just to explore Canadian history. It was one of the best decisions we made. The "entry was free". And the exhibition or the collection was amazing. We loved observing the Art pieces. There is a huge collection of contemporary Canadian ceramics and glass art. The gallery showcases a wide range of works by Canadian artists working in these mediums, including functional pottery, sculptural ceramics, and glass art.

Absolutely stunning little gallery, the exhibits seem to fluctuate often. I went with my family during the summer and admission was free, and the place was basically empty. There are no ropes or glass blocking from anything on display, so you can get right up close to see all the pieces—definitely worth a stop! Don’t forget to check out the gift shop even if you don’t plan on buying, the pieces in there are just as beautiful too.

Hard to rate a free gallery anything less than 5. For lovers of the arts there is lots to sink your teeth into. The exhibit was interesting and provocative. The displays were set-up well and helpful information was easily accessible. The venue was not too busy and staff were helpful. When it comes time for the giftshop you best hope your budget is hundreds of dollars because art isn't cheap.
