FOUR FANTASTIC WORKSHOP TO CHOOSE FROM

TWO CREATIVE DAYS OF FUN!
Lydia Caine -


Apoxie Sculpt Wood Nymph
Lydia offers us a jam-packed day with her Wood Nymph class. You will learn how to manipulate Apoxie Sculpt to create a wonderfully whimsical figure. The head will be sculpted over a miniature skull and attaching it to a wire & mesh armature. This will be mounted on a dowel or wonderful piece of driftwood! You will also learn how to use Lydia's hand & foot jigs and cover them with Apoxie Sculpt. The second portion of the workshop will be to wig, dress & embellish your Wood Nymph, incorporating interesting and diverse items such as wire, glass, leaves, lace and cheesecloth.
KIT: $25.00

KATUMA McLAUGHLIN -
Know your Machine & The Science of Needles and Threads
Katuma will help you discover the secrets of your sewing machine. Have you ever asked:
  • why does my machine "jam"?
  • why do I get loose stitches, why do then "pucker"?
  • why do my needles keep breaking?
  • Are you frustrated with missing stitches, or ones that keep snagging your fabric?
Then this is the workshop for you!! Katuma will walk you through the basic science of threads & needles for both machine & hand sewing. Students are encouraged (if possible) to bring their machines & and samples of problem stitching etc. If you are unable to bring your machine, Katuma will have a couple with her.
KIT: $20.00

The CDAA board (unfortunately without Joy and Lise) went on an excursion today to the Distillery District in downtown Toronto to investigate a brand new gallery devoted to... ...

The Art of the Doll !!

Check out The Doll Gallery in the Casegoods Building

We are so inspired after our meeting with them!!
We are working towards developing a relationship that will bring many opportunities for you as our membership. The artwork in the gallery is phenomenal; whimsical, colourful and distinct. A must see.
