Turtle House Ceramics is a special clay-making project by Turtle House Art/Play Centre for newcomer artists and non-artists primarily from refugee backgrounds. In celebration of Refugee Rights Month this April, an exhibition will be on display in the lobby featuring new works by participants of the project.
The participants have been working diligently for the last three months in our Laura Dinner and Richard Rooney Community Clay Studio, reflecting on their mixed feelings about leaving home and finding home away from home.
