Field Trip to the Fire-Hall (Part II)

Over the past two weeks we have welcomed grade Primary to grade 5 classes from the Lunenburg Academy into our studios to offer them a unique look at what happens in an artist's studio. Through hands-on demonstrations, we introduced them to our working methods and talked to them about what it means to be an artist. The Fire-Hall became alive with their thoughtful questions and meaningful responses. We look forward to working with them again soon when we lead art workshops for them at the Academy.

Thanks for visiting!

Open House - take two.

Is that a gingerbread replica of the fire-hall you ask? Why yes it is! Just a fun festive way to kick off our second open house, with Christmas just around the corner we thought a welcoming event with hot apple cider and hot chocolate would be perfect on November 28th, the day of the Lunenburg Santa Claus parade.


We were up til all hours of the morning preparing the tasty treats.


We had plenty of people coming though the space, enjoying the unseasonable warm weather and the freshly baked treats. We really enjoyed the support that we got from the whole community and it was wonderful to see so many new people out to see what we are up to.


A big thank you to all that came out and shared in this fun event with us. We will be sure to keep everyone posted on all of our up coming events.
