This week's Get Crafty was a special one, as we collaborated with to hold a Quillwork workshop 🦔🌀

Using porcupine quills, of which were lovingly collected and prepared, all of our participants aided in creating a communal art piece 🎨 inspired by the beautiful work brought by our facilitators, Kristina Burton and Jess Howard, everyone collaborated, created, and learned something new!! ✨

Do you love arts and crafts and want to keep learning something new? Well, join us every Thursday, 11-1 and get to create, collaborate and experience the relaxing powers of craft 🎨🌀✨
See you then!

P.s from your social media guy ( ), porcupines and hedgehogs are not the same animal, but are both very very cute 🦔

Our Toronto weather isn’t bringing the sunshine we need to make cyanotypes today, so we will save that activity for a brighter day! Keeping with the blue and white theme, we will do 2 colour watercolour bookmarks today! Great way to learn some basic watercolour techniques and make some lovely little paintings! We’ll walk you through everything, all materials and tools provided. Did I mention it’s free? And friendly? See you there!
