CRAIG AND PAM BOOTH
Cars! Cars! Cars!

When your passion becomes your life’s work, you are lucky indeed. This is the case for ceramic sculptors Craig and Pam Booth, whose artistic creations for the past thirty years have focused on one primary subject – the AUTOMOBILE. Their business, at 1112 Bruynswick Road in Gardiner, is called Car-Toons by Booth.

Invention and whimsy typify a Booth car. Made to order, each piece is typically about a foot long. The model and color are shown to perfection, and it may also include a portrait of the owner in the driver’s seat, or a blonde in the rumble seat, or a dog racing alongside. Or perhaps you’d like a wall piece that shows your car with racing flags or rounding a curve in a Prix de France town. Or a full set of six-inch cars for your dining table. The Booths can accommodate your fancy.
And not only for cars. A visit to their studio reveals many more ingenious ideas-in-clay on display, at many different scales. They make fire-breathing aroma dragons (you add the incense smoke) and mugs (double-meaning) of pilots. In a more serious vein, Pam Booth models 24-inch replicas of brides in their bridal gowns out of clay. If you can imagine it, they can probably make it for you.
