From a humble windmill in 1832, Gooderham & Worts rose to become the largest distillery in the world — and the heart of a growing city. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, The Distillery Historic District stands as a National Historic Site, celebrated as an outstanding example of Victorian industrial design and one of Toronto’s most iconic landmarks.

Clay becomes canvas inside Dish Gallery and Studio (@dishstudio) — but that’s just the beginning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here, Canadian ceramic artists shape sculptural pieces that bring art into the everyday — made to be touched, used, and lived with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Visit them at 5 Trinity Street in The Distillery District. 📍
