Capital Creates marks 50 years of creative ceramic-making by members of the Ottawa Guild of Potters, and in turn, affirms the significance of ceramics in the contemporary art world. This exhibition is a celebration by current Guild members of the places we inhabit, and what inspires us about where we live, work, and create. A selection of drinking vessels specially created by Guild members will also be featured in the exhibition.
