Arts and Crafts Sessions (Ages 14 and Up)
Crafternoons are back and our crafters are happy! Classes nourish your creative abilities and let you spend an enjoyable afternoon with others at the same time. These two-hour Crafternoon classes are sponsored by MPCA. They include all materials, use of professional grade tools, with experienced Artisans leading the projects. Classes take place in MPCA’s Upper Hall on select Wednesday afternoons. All skill levels are welcome, no experience needed. This is an amazing opportunity to gain insight into a new medium and connect with new people.
There is limited space available at these popular sessions to allow the instructor to give sufficient attention to everyone. Please have a current MPCA membership and pre-register online at https://mpca.tidyhq.com/ to ensure space and materials are available for you. Classes have a non-refundable price of $10 each. If you sign up for a class and find you can’t attend, please let Aileen know as soon as possible. This may allow someone on the waiting list to take your place, and avoid purchasing supplies that aren’t used.
Registration for the October classes opened on September 10. To learn what classes are upcoming as early as possible, check the ‘Events’ tab at https://mpca.tidyhq.com regularly. It’s always best to set a reminder to do this early each month as classes fill up quickly.
The October Classes Are:
Wednesday, October 2 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, Collage: Tracy Franks will guide us in creating an art piece on canvas board, using papers of different weights, textures, and colours. Please bring to class anything that you would like to incorporate into your creation: old photographs, ribbon, tickets, etc.
Wednesday, October 9 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, Stunning Sunflowers: Doris Loewen and Leigh Ellen Caro will lead an easy to follow, step-by-step painting lesson using watercolour pigment to create sunflowers. You will learn how to use shapes to paint sunflowers from different perspectives, how to load your brush with two or more colours of paint, and how to use brushwork to depict petals and leaves that come alive!
Wednesday, October 16 and 30 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, A Two-Part Ceramics Class (Please register once only and commit to attending both days): Connie Zerger will instruct us in the process of hand building, embellishing, and glazing a succulent planter. A perfect Christmas gift.
