This class takes place on four Tuesday afternoons from 1 to 4 p.m. The cost is $140, or $120 for Gallery members, plus GST.

Artist Darren Larose will offer a Silk Screen Printing workshop at the Gallery over two weekends – October 15 and 16 and October 29 and 30. The workshop runs from 12 to 4 p.m. each day. This workshop will teach participants the process of successful silk screen printing; from building your own frame to printing your image. Participants can print on t-shirts, fabric, paper, wood, etc…. This is an introductory course and the focus will not be on artistic skill, but rather on process. The cost is $140, or $120 for Gallery members, plus GST.
And, the gallery will again offer Life Drawing this fall, hosted by Glen Chambers.
The sessions run on Tuesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. from Oct. 18 to Nov. 22. Life Drawing sessions are open to those who wish to practice drawing the human figure in a group setting. Everyone is welcome and there will be no instruction, only the opportunity to draw a live model in a variety of poses in the company of other artists.
Easels and tables are provided, but bring your choice of drawing or painting materials and the gallery will provide the model. Poses will be timed, beginning with a few short warm-ups, then transitioning to longer poses.
You can register and pay for all six sessions prior to the start date, for $62.50 plus GST, or pay a drop-in rate of $12.50 per session.
