The Gardiner Museum is open seven days a week! Explore our permanent collection, discover special exhibitions, and get hands-on with clay in our studios. We look forward to welcoming you.
Discover recent work by African American artist Sharif Bey in our lobby. Bey foregrounds African and Afro-diasporic aesthetic traditions and considers the role of historical artifacts removed from their cultures of origin.
Don't wait to sign up for the Gardiner's popular summer camps. New this year, all our week-long sessions are full-day multimedia camps, so kids can draw, paint, sculpt, and more.
Every object in our permanent collection can be accessed through our eMuseum portal. Learn about individual collecting areas, like Italian Maiolica or Modern and Contemporary Ceramics, or search the full collection by keyword. You'll be amazed by what you discover!
Help us continue to offer innovative and engaging exhibitions, programs, and community projects in person and online, as well as plan for the future. Please consider making a donation today.
This workshop is open to adults and families.
How do we love and care for ourselves, one another, and our world?
Richard Wagamese shares: “The truth is that we are one body moving through time together.” Embedded in the depth of our being, in our DNA, we hold the truth of all creation. Clay grounds us to our being. Clay reconnects us to our shared humanity and our interdependence with the earth and all life.
In this workshop, we will engage in the simple physical practice of breath using clay. We will share a story about where the clay comes from, engage with a series of exercises, then together reclaim the clay. Come join us and experience the joy of one body, one breath, one moment.
