Most Thursday afternoons: Open Studio
Open studio is designed to be a fun and relaxing afternoon offering a mixed bag
of creative activities using a mélange of media. Participants will discover what
they will be working on only when they arrive at the studio, so each session will
be an adventure and a surprise. They can, however, expect a stimulating
experience full of fun and camaraderie in a warm and supportive atmosphere.

Sessions are held most Thursday afternoons from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The
cost per session is $32 CDN (+ tax) or $28 CDN (+ tax) if you come with a friend.
Materials are included in the cost. Enrolment is limited to 8 participants.
