WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR MEMBERS
CHRISTMAS AT ARTISANS - COMMUNITY ARTS CENTRE, TULISTA PARK
Many of our SPAC members have their work for sale at this event..open until Christmas
Workshops are provided for our members to enhance their skills or to broaden their horizons and try something new. The instructors we have booked give workshops all over the world and bring many years of experience to share. The feedback from the classes have been extremely positive and I know you would enjoy one yourself.
The workshops are held at the Saanich Fairgrounds where we have a very big, bright classroom. The classes are held to a minimum of 20 participants to ensure everyone has a positive experience.
We just completed a workshop with Tom Lynch and it was a very exciting experience. Tom gives a full packed workshop with lots of demonstrations and opportunities for critiques. By popular demand he will be returning in the fall of 2012.
