Upcoming Classes
For adults
Saturday, October 24 from 7:30—9:30 p.m. at 134 Osler Street
Join Sarah Aranha, artist extraordinaire, in this workshop focused on food! Using watercolour and mixed-media (think coloured pencils and collage), we’ll learn to paint our favourite recipes on gorgeous paper, which you’ll take home to cherish (and cook with!). Sarah has the uncanny ability of making watercolours accessible and revelatory in their sumptuous beauty, the best way to capture culinary delights for body and soul. At our 134 Osler Street location.
For kids
Saturday, October 17 from 9:30–11 a.m. at 134 Osler Street ~ Grades SK—3
In this one-off class, we’ll dream up and build our own musical instruments using cardboard, upcycled materials, and tons of art supplies. We’ll experiment with sound, rhythm, and design as we create shakers, guitars, drums, and other yet-to-be invented instruments! At the end of class, we’ll come together as a band to play our own original music. No musical experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to make some joyful noise! Co-led by musician extraordinaire Allison Leyton-Brown and Hot Pizza founder Julia Dault.
Side-by-side
Sunday, November 8, 9:30–11 a.m. at 1152 College St. ~ Ages 7—99
In this class, we will learn to knit very scary monsters using yarn, appliqués, and icords! Knit Master Sandra Moretti teaches knitting like no other: in an accessible, all-levels way; we’ll learn and practice casting-on and off, as well as how to knit in the round. Bring your own knitting needles and yarn* (so that you can take them with you after class to keep working!), we provide the appliqués and icords. Please note, class price is per person. At 1152 College Street location.
*If you’re new to knitting: the best needles for beginners are straight, bamboo needles in sizes 5 mm–7mm—or if you already have yarn, check the label and it will indicate the right size needles to use. For yarn, a bulky-weight wool blend is best, but a medium worsted weight will work, too. These are available at any craft or knitting store. At 1152 College Street location. Please note, class price is per person.
