Join Lynn and Harvey Goff, along with Greenie DeShong, for a two-day course on using a pottery wheel. This introductory course is suitable for beginners and those with experience who haven’t "thrown mud" in a while.

This hands-on course will get messy … please bring an apron and towel you don’t mind getting dirty! Participants are also encouraged to have short nails as it is difficult to work with clay if you have long nails.

The class is limited to six participants. Registration and payment will be required on, or before, January 22nd to avoid cancellation.

We thought it would be fun to fill the air with holiday songs at Spirit Square.

Everyone is welcome to join in the fun. We will gather in the park at 4:30 pm. Bring song sheets if you have them and get ready to sing, hum or just listen to the beautiful music we will make together.

Join the participants from the Artist’s Way Program as they celebrate the opening of their art show.

Facilitator Lauren Aldred and the program participants have been meeting weekly since September. As a “creative cluster”, they have supported one another as they have worked through the chapters of author Julia Cameron’s book, “The Artist’s Way”. The program includes weekly art projects - many led by the participants themselves - as well as a final artistic project. These art projects will be on display through the month of December.

Participants will be in attendance at the opening night to speak about their journey through this program, and the art they created. We hope to see you there.

Local artist, Sydney Chauvin, will lead you through the steps to recreate this beautiful painting. Through Sydney’s guidance and encouragement, every participant will leave the session with a finished painting and (hopefully) feeling empowered to create more art! These paint nights are full of fun and laughter - a great way to spend a fall evening. We hope you can join us.

Fees for the class are $50 per person, and include all supplies.

Please complete the form below to register for the class. Spaces are limited so we recommend you sign up early to avoid disappointment.
