Leatherworking Workshop results in new booties for all!!

Amanda Bellefeuille is a really wonderful teacher who inspired a full compliment of students at this year's Northern Arts and Crafts Movement Leatherworking Workshop. Here's a photo from that event from August 14 and 15, 2015.


IMAGES from Darkroom Workshop

Anthony Tremblay's workshop on analogue photography and the darkroom was a great success. We only had four participants, but this was perfect because the darkroom that the Northern Arts and Crafts Movement set up for the workshop only had four enlargers! Here's a shot of Anthony chatting to some of the students inside the "pop-up darkroom"

Shots from the Raku Workshop


Raku Workshop participants spent a few weeks preparing bisque-fired ceramic works for the workshop that's happening this weekend out at Joan Spears Pottery Studio in Callander. The pieces were glazed yesterday (Saturday) and then fired in an outdoor kiln today. The weather was great throughout and spirits were very high. It was a long tough weekend for all, but so many great pieces were fired and it was so exciting to be there for the "Grand Reveal". Stunning irridescent works of art in clay were the result. Well DONE...EVERYONE!!

2 Popular Workshops This WEEKEND

Two amazing workshops going on this weekend. My friends at the Potters Guild are hosting a Raku Workshop with Toronto and Callander ceramic artist, Joan Spears! Participants will come out of that weekend with four or five beautiful original pots!! This workshop has been full booked for over a month and we've had to turn away several folks!
And over at Gallery 150 West there is still some room in the workshop to learn from Amanda Bellefeuille all about leatherworking and her amazing fabric design practices. For more information on the workshop and how you can receive a bursary to attend, e-mail us at northernartsandcraftsmovement@gmail.com OR
