GFC welcomes the work of ceramic artist SARAH HAMELIN!

We love the influence of gothic architectural elements in these ‘Boughpots’ - or flower bricks. They make for stunning centrepieces displaying seasonal blooms, making any occasion a festive one!

A new collection of Mary Philpott’s enigmatic animal sculptures are unveiled now at GFC!

Mary’s ability to finesse figures from wet clay comes after many years of careful wildlife observation and technical experimentation. Her works have real presence and familiarity for Canadians who appreciate their natural world.
