Andbothwith a Gift: A Ceramic Workshop

Access

About

This workshop offers an opportunity to explore ceramic hand-building and surface design techniques inspired by the artist Pamila Matharu. Through this creative process, we will explore how art fosters connections and creates shared moments. Participants will craft two shells: one to keep and one to gift. This workshop examines the artist's relationship with mentorship and encourages self-reflection on personal relationships.

Suitable for both beginners and experienced artists, this workshop aims to deepen appreciation for Pamila's art while enabling participants to create meaningful pieces. All materials will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary. Participants should be ready to immerse themselves in the artistic process and produce personalized artworks that celebrate the power of connection and community.

Organizer

Toronto Biennial of Art

The Toronto Biennial of Art’s mission is to make contemporary art accessible to everyone. A ten-week event every two years, the Biennial commissions artists to create new works for a city-wide exhibition in dialogue with Toronto’s diverse local contexts. Year-round public and learning programs bridge Biennials and invite intergenerational audiences to explore the ideas that inspire our events. Building upon past editions and offering new ways of seeing and listening, each Biennial connects people to spark meaningful dialogues and imagine new futures.

The Toronto Biennial of Art launched in 2019 and was a popular and critical success. The Biennial provides expanded understandings of contemporary art practices and is building a legacy of free, inclusive, and accessible contemporary arts programming in Toronto and surrounding communities.

As conversations about Truth and Reconciliation as well as inclusion, equity, and accessibility continue to evolve, the Biennial is committed to developing new ways of seeing and listening.
