BRAND NEW to the Thunder Bay Art Gallery. Inspired by her first solo exhibition, Ending Up, join Katie Lemieux for this one-of-a-kind clay workshop! This 2-hour retreat will be non-verbal, placing emphasis on sound and sight as communal navigation. This workshop will provide a space that invokes silence to encourage alternate communication, the act of existing without words, while participants reflect on the creation of small items out of earth. Participants will be able to create one of three meditative pieces out of clay. All materials will be provided. Masks are required at the gallery. So, we also ask that all in attendance come wearing a well-fitting face mask/covering and that you let us know ahead of time about mask exemptions.

BEGINNING MAY 7 -Spring is in the air! So why not create art inspired by the world around us. Paint with all the colours of the rainbow, sculpt some clay plants, and learn some simple embroidery. Each class introduces new techniques, materials, and exploration! AGES 5 - 7 Masks are required at the gallery. So, we also ask that all in attendance come wearing a well-fitting face mask/covering and that you let us know ahead of any mask exemptions.

Beginning May 7 - Take inspiration from the springtime sunshine. Create a variety of projects from painted flowerpots to clay sculptures and try out new drawing and painting techniques. Bring the outdoors inside with a new project every week! AGES 8-10
