Adults can improve their sewing skills, tackle storytelling, or try their hand at basket weaving during some of the many summer art classes at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.
A new lineup of classes running throughout July and August was announced this week.
“The fabulous selection is sure to add a bit of fun and excitement into your summer,” the Chilliwack Arts and Cultural Centre Society stated in a press release.
Some classes run for several weeks while others are one-day workshops.
From Jewelry 101 and Tree of Life Pendant where students can learn how to create their own stunning pieces of jewelry, to Say the Write Thing: Dialogue for Writers and Worldbuilding for Storytellers, people can learn where to start in the daunting journey of creative writing.
Pine Needle Basket Weaving will teach folks how to make a six-inch basket in the traditional Indigenous art of basket weaving, while Peyote Stitch Beading will teach the basics of beading techniques where students can make their own medallion.
Go on a journey of mythical proportions with one of the Dungeons and Dragons workshops or take on Dungeons and Dragons Adult Summer Camp.
World Dance celebrates the diverse dance styles from around the globe and will help build confidence in self-expression, while Awaken the Artistic Child in You will ignite a drive for art in a playful manner.
Those looking for a way to get creative on their own time can pop into the open glass studio, open clay studio and live model drawing open studio which all offer a space to hone skills. The open studios are non-instructional sessions and are for anyone with previous experience and a desire to construct and create. Contact the Centre Box Office to book a time.
