It’s July and we have lots to celebrate including Canada Day and, for our southern neighbours, Independence Day. Enjoy the parties, fireworks and picnics!
Our summer classes also kick-in with new and encore classes throughout July and August. Early-July classes include a new metal clay brooch class with Liz Reynolds and a last-chance-before-the-fall intro to soldering classes with Iris Rogers Melamed! If you want to escape the heat, come on into one of the open sessions. FYI, the classroom’s air conditioner works great – you may want to bring a light sweater or wrap.
Here are the classes and open sessions scheduled July 1 – 10:
