Our final stop on this fascinating She Shed Tour was Art Haus, where technology is shrouded in white cotton. Quite literally. Artist Anna Gustafson is *an honours graduate from the Vancouver School of Art - now Emily Carr - and has
shown in public galleries since 1974. Her work is inspired by the environment, consumerism and, it would appear, our throwaway society. She patiently enshrouds cell phones, remote controls, leaf blowers and the many small pieces of technology ubiquitous in today's world to honour the work and design that created them.

Our tour of learning and discovery had come to an end. We returned to our host’s home for delicious homemade plum pie and lovely ice cream. Our ferry return to Victoria was cool and cloudy, but we came away with lovely memories of a day well spent on June 24, 2018.
