The Gardiner is thrilled to announce the launch of CLAY, an original in-house restaurant offering seasonal menus of fresh, local fare in collaboration with The Food Dudes.
Closing January 20! The Gardiner has reunited for the first time more than 350 objects from Sir William Van Horne’s exceptional collection of Japanese pottery alongside archival materials and stunning watercolours.
Kids can get creative in our popular March Break camps led by a professional potter. Register your child today for hand building or wheel throwing camp, where they'll learn how to sculpt and glaze their own works of art to take home.

Toronto artist Joanne Tod is best known for her paintings of people and places. Tod’s paintings raise complex and sometimes uncomfortable questions about identity, power, and cultural values. Her work has been widely exhibited within Canada as well as many private and corporate collections. Tod will present new work that responds to the Gardiner’s historical collections including painted plates and paintings.
