Drop in art making workshops
Two different hands on art making opportunities available on RMG’s lower level! Drop in, no registration required, while supplies last.
Flower Pot Painting:
Let your creativity flow or have us guide you to create a bright succulent planter to admire. Beginner friendly, no experience required!
Pyrography with guest artist Victoria Grant:
Participants embark on their creative journey by practicing with the pyrography tools on scrap wood under personalized guidance from Victoria herself. Once participants feel comfortable and confident with the technique, they transition to designing their own mini canoe paddles. This part of the workshop encourages personal expression, allowing each individual to imbue their creation with elements that resonate with their unique identity and creativity.
Throughout the workshop, Victoria provides hands-on assistance and expertise, helping participants refine their designs and execute them to perfection. By the end of the session, each participant will have crafted a personalized pyrography design on a mini canoe paddle that they can proudly take home, showcasing both their newfound skills and personal artistic vision.
Victoria’s workshops not only foster artistic skill development but also celebrate cultural heritage and personal expression, making them an enriching experience for all involved.
Beginner friendly, no experience required!
Seniors Programming has been made possible thanks to the generous support of Sienna for Seniors Foundation.
