JAMAICA ART - WASSI
POTTERY,
HARMONY HALL AND FIREFLY
$160 Group Price (for up to 4 people) (4 Hours)
Your driver
will not have to explain a lot to you about what you are going to see,
because this tour is more visual than intellectual. It will be a very
nice, relaxing day... driving through the Jamaican countryside... up hills
and through glorious valleys (perhaps thru the Fern Gully, if time
permits).
The road to this workshop is rough, but then, what road isn't in Jamaica.
Well worth it is this stop at the "factory" for Jamaica's famous pottery.
Not only can you meet the artists, watch them create ceramics and paint
them, but you can buy them. The helpful staff will mail your selections
home. That's right - no duty, no schlepping, no breakage!
Your second stop is another wonderful gallery called Harmony Hall. The
place is charming with an outside bar serving drinks and fruit punches, a
little restaurant, and a large gallery space upstairs in this
Victorian-style mansion. It's inventory is so large that I felt as if I
was in a museum. "This charming gallery is the only outlet outside of
Kingston to feature regular exhibitions and leading Jamaican artists."
Caribbean Travel & Life.
Last but not least, Firefly, the former home of playwright and songwriter
Noel Coward. Firefly is now a national monument, with an exhibition of Sir
Noel's life and works which he has authored and painted. It also gives you
a spectacular view.
