Meet the Artists: Live Sculpting & Fine Woodwork (Holiday Sip & Shop)

Step into the creative heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake this holiday season!

As part of Queenston Pottery’s 3rd Annual Holiday Sip & Shop, we invite you to a special dual-residency feature showcasing Visiting Artists Marzi Alimo and Hassan Ghanati (Zima Artworks).

Set inside our historic 48-year-old working pottery studio and multi-tiered gallery, this interactive afternoon offers an up-close look into two distinct fine craft traditions.
