A WORD FROM LYNN, ABOUT LYNN:

I began sewing as child and have continued all my life. When I am not sewing something, be it a quilt, garments, or mending, I am thinking about the next project, or 20. I love upcycling and reusing fabrics to give them a new life. Over the years I have taught private lessons, sewn for others, provided mending services and have had a blast coordinating the costume department of Creative Vision Productions.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Apparently, I have been making art messes since I was 3 years old. Although I learned my art mediums mostly by trial and error, I did achieve some formal training: Diploma in Graphic Design, 1 year fashion Design and a Certificate in Interior Decorating. As well, I have attended many Art workshops.

I have tried many, many, forms of art through the years, but I always come back to Acrylic & Watercolor. I have been instructing these mediums for over 25 yrs and Stained Glass for about 15.

It's my passion, to see others become passionate about creating! I own a studio at Rocanville where I offer private Art lessons and Paint Parties and some retail art supplies. When I get a minute or two, I even create my own art. I am thrilled to be a part of MVAC and for the opportunity to share my experience with others.

Did you have that New Year’s resolution that you were going to get more organized? More productive? More intentional? More reflective? More . . . well, just more? Bullet Journaling can definitely help with some of that! Bullet journaling has been around for a while and people who have taken the time to learn the system have found it beneficial to their focus and productivity.

Participants of all ages are welcome but those 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Join us the evening of Wednesday, March 11th for the first of two (maybe three, depending on the interest) to learn about bullet journaling.

We will be following a couple of guided courses put out by Domestika by watching video lessons on the big screen TV in the Creation Space then applying those video lessons to our own lives to create an individualized, one of a kind, bullet journal.

March 11th: We will investigate inspiration for our bullet journal and try to determine goals we would like to works towards using our journals. We will also think about what type of a notebook we would like to use for our own bullet journal (dotted? lined? graph paper? blank?) and what other tools or writing utensils we require to create our journal.

You are welcome to share MVAC’s rulers, glue, pens and markers, but you will need to purchase your own journal . . . Please DO NOT do this until after the first class! After the first class you will have a better idea of what you need and if you would like to purchase anything else.

March 25th: We will build our bullet journal, personalizing it as we go so we can start using it right away to help achieve our goals. We will decide at this time if we need another meeting to learn a bit more about trackers.

Registration for this class closes midnight, Monday, March 9th.

Melissa will be hosting these sessions . . . that means she hopes to win the battle of technology and is able to show you the video lessons. It should be noted that Melissa does journal and has researched various forms of bullet journals . . . she’ll have samples of her journals with her so you can see for yourself how your style might evolve.

We all know what the ground hog said at the beginning of this month, but regardless, spring is coming and that means gardening season is fast approaching!! In my world, that means I need to have my seeds started so I have some plants to sink in the ground. However, I know I can use help determining which plants need to be put where in my garden. That’s where Allan comes in. . . with years of experience as a horticulturalist and an avid gardener himself, he plans on explaining companion planting, orchards and growing brassicas (I had to look this one up . . . it is the cabbage family {broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, bok choy, kale, brussel sprouts, etc.}). I know if you have additional questions for Allan, he’d be a good person to ask and he’d have a response for you to help you out!

This class is open to anyone from teens to adults.

Please bring a notebook and a pen with you to jot down ideas, garden plans, questions for Allan, . . .

ABOUT OUR INSTRUCTOR: Shelly Nicolle-Phillips, Hooked on the Prairies

Shelly is a transplanted Maritimer who has been living in and learning about her Prairie home since she arrived in Regina in 2002. She first picked up a hook in 2015 while visiting her home province of PEI. While she is self taught, genetics may also be an influence as her paternal grandmother was also a rug hooker and hooked beautiful traditional rugs to keep their Island farmhouse floors warm.

Drawing on the traditional rug hooking technique from her Island heritage in a unique way, Shelly uses the texture and colours of natural fibres to explore this prairie landscape which has been so foreign to her. While the prairie landscape is a strong influence at this point in her art journey, any landscapes she finds herself in serve as creative inspiration and often souvenirs of time spent elsewhere.

In 2016, Shelly created Hooked on the Prairies, initially a social media handle to share her art with others and connect with other creatives. This has now evolved into active Facebook and Instagram profiles, an Etsy shop and website. Sharing the craft of rug hooking through teaching has been a rewarding part of her art journey. She has a deep belief that creating art through rug hooking has therapeutic benefits and that everyone can benefit from finding their own creative outlet.

Shelly is a juried member of the Saskatchewan Craft Council and has had her work in solo and group shows in Saskatchewan and is proud to have sold her artwork to individuals all over North America. One of her first pieces was included in a book “Eyes Open to the World – memories of travel in wool”. (Straight from Shelly’s website: https://www.hookedontheprairies.ca/bio)

DIY-TRY: Hand-Built Clay Creation

Saturday, January 17th • 2:00–6:00 PM (drop in anytime)

Cost: $20 session fee + clay by weight (pay only for what you use)

Drop-in (no booking required): Space is limited—if we’re at capacity, you may be asked to wait briefly or return a little later.

Curious about clay but not ready to commit to a full class? Drop in and give hand-building a try in a low-pressure, community studio setting!

This is a DIY-style session: you’ll work from your own imagination and make a small clay creation using simple hand-building techniques. J’aime (MVAC treasurer) will be on-site to help as needed (answers, quick demos, troubleshooting), but this is not a step-by-step instructed class—and that’s the point: come play, experiment, and get your hands muddy.

Firing & glazing (optional & extra):

Bisque firing and glazing can be discussed after you build.

These are a separate small charge based on:

- the size of your piece

- the glazes used

(If you’ve never fired before, we’ll walk you through the options.)

Come with a “try it” mindset: experimentation encouraged, perfection not required Come solo or bring a friend. You might surprise yourself with what you make.

🤪The laughter is bubbling; the shoulders are relaxing; soft music is playing . . . sound wonderful? Join us so you too can experience the fun and relaxation of painting a ceramic object!

⛷️Well, this is it for Ceramic Paint Nights for 2025! Be sure you come on out and spend a relaxing evening with us painting that ceramic piece that keeps calling to you . . .

🎅We will be painting with acrylic paints in the Creation Space of MVAC and finishing our pieces with a sealant. We’ll have 2 hours to select and paint our pieces so we can take them home with us at the end of the night!

⛄Our studio fee is $10. Your cost will be the $10 + the price of the ceramics. The price of the ceramics differs, depending on the size of the piece you choose. Payment will be expected before you begin painting your chosen piece of ceramics, but not at the time of registration.

🌟We provide the ceramic piece, the paint, the sealer and the tools to “get ‘er dun”. You provide the creative vision and manpower!!

This party’s theme: Christmas and Winter!

❄️Due to the demand for this activity and the size of our Creation Space size, we are limited to 20 participants, aged 6 and up.

🔔Follow the link below to save your spot in our fifth Ceramic Paint Party.

🛷Participants aged 6 - 12 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Non-registered adults will not be able to work on their own ceramics piece. To register, adults must complete their own registration form.
