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.
