Building London Clay Art Centre

London Clay Art Centre is located in a century-old heritage building, which was lovingly restored through the hard work of many LPG volunteers. See the transformation of the space at 664 Dundas Street from a dilapidated commercial space to the gorgeous community facility it is now.
