Join Emily Putz, B. Sc. the Habitat Stewardship Coordinator for Nature Saskatchewan, as she talks on the subject of Monarchs and Milkweed. The Monarch Butterfly is a migratory pollinator whose habitat has been shrinking due to a variety of reasons. Emily will explain how we can help!

We are hoping to have a second, local presenter following Emily’s presentation, but we are awaiting confirmation.

Following the presentation(s) there will be a plant swap so bring with you a plant or two you might have to swap with other plant enthusiasts!

No pre-registration is required for this event and no registration fee is being charged. Donations will gratefully be accepted to the Moosomin Visual Arts Centre.

Join us for an engaging evening with Chancz Perry from SK Arts, who will provide an overview of available granting programs and funding opportunities.

You’ll also have the chance to pitch your own project or grant idea and receive valuable feedback, guidance, and encouragement in a supportive environment.

Whether your idea is fully developed or just getting started, this is a great opportunity to learn, connect, and explore funding possibilities.

Bring your ideas. Build your confidence. Discover what’s possible.

There is no charge for this event and no pre-registration is required!

Join Chancz as he educates us on available grants, eligibility criteria, application procedures and deadlines for the programming supported by SK Arts. Chancz will provide insights into SK Arts funding priorities and desired outcomes, answer questions and provide tips for submitting competitive applications alighted with SK Arts objectives.

Chancz will then guide us in writing effective grant proposals covering essential topics, including SK Arts requirements, project proposal structure, articulation of project goals and outcomes, budget planning and compelling narratives. You will learn strategies to highlight the applicant strengths and align project objectives with assessment priorities and sustainability factors. Participants will be immersed in practical exercises, case studies and peer feedback to help develop the skills and confidences to create competitive grant applications.

This is definitely a session chalked full of information and tips for creatives who are looking for funding outside of their own space!

There is no charge for this event, nor is pre-registration required! If you know of a creative individual (artists, writers, musicians, actors, artistic organizations, dance troupes, etc.) who might benefit, please let them know!

After a year of baking, feeding, stretching and folding (and occasionally failing) J’aime is excited to finally share the sourdough process with you!

In April 2025, J’aime took The Art of Sourdough Bread Making with Pat Miskiman and has been nurturing her starter and refining her method ever since. Now it is your turn to learn the foundations in a relaxed, hands-on afternoon workshop.

Join us from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday May 9th for an approachable sourdough class where you will make your own dough, learn the stretch-and-fold process, and leave with the confidence to continue at home.

Because sourdough includes 30-minute rest periods between folds, those breaks will be filled with gentle guided movement led by Carlie Glasser. These yoga breaks may take place both on yoga mats and using chairs, making them highly accessible for a wide range of comfort and mobility levels.

In this workshop, you will:

• Learn the basics of sourdough baking

• Mix and create your own dough from scratch

• Practice the stretch-and-fold process

• Learn about final fold, overnight prep, and scoring

• Take your dough home to bake the following day at your convenience

You’ll leave with:

• Your own sourdough starter

• Your prepared dough ready for baking the next day

• A few helpful tools to support your sourdough journey including

  12x12 Granite Slab (just trust me, you want this!)
  Dough Scraper
  Baking Sling
  Danish Dough Whisk
  Scoring Tool
  Flour & salt

Schedule

• 10:00 AM – Arrive, settle in, coffee & tea

• 10:30 AM- 12:00 PM– Stretching & folding (in more ways than one)!

• 12:00 - 12:30: Snack break! 

• 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
  Hands-on practice on pre-prepared dough; window test/prep for overnight, and the scoring process. Final fold, clean-up & head out!

Lunch
Snacks will be provided during lunch, but please bring any additional food you would like.

Items to Bring
Please bring these if you already have them:

ABOUT OUR 🧑‍🎨 ARTIST

Ah Ram Kim and her husband came to Moosomin (and Canada) about a year and a half ago. She chose cooking as her self-expression when she first came to Moosomin but has since returned to more traditional art forms. Ah Ram majored in fine arts in Korea and has worked as a professional artist, participating in a variety of exhibitions. She majored in western painting but became better known for sculptural and installation work. Ah Ram has run a private studio where she taught art to both children and adults in small class settings. She is able to teach a wide variety of media, including pencil drawing, pen drawing, soft and oil pastels, conté, acrylic and oil painting. Ah Ram can also teach traditional Asian ink painting, Korean-style colour painting (jinchaehwa), and media-based works that incorporate photography or video. She believes that sincere creative energy - whether from a child, farmer, homemaker, or elder - comes through clearly on paper or canvas and she can’t wait to work with you!

About our Artist:

Hannah Delos Reyes is a Filipino-born artist whose practice bridges memory, culture, and lived experience. After migrating to Canada almost a decade ago, she began shaping an artistic voice grounded in the complexities of first‑generation immigrant life. Delos Reyes completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing at Brandon University, where she developed a practice centered on cultural identity and the enduring influence of colonial ideologies. Her work traces these forces from the colonial period to the present, examining how they continue to shape personal experience, collective memory, and the psychological landscape of diasporic communities.

While drawing remains central to her practice, Delos Reyes moves fluidly across painting, printmaking, and ceramics. Her academic dedication has been recognized through multiple scholarships and bursaries, and she has produced numerous commissioned works to support her studies. Since 2022, she has been an active participant in group exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba, contributing to the region’s evolving artistic dialogue. She has sold multiple artworks, taught community art classes, and has been invited across Brandon to represent the Filipino community through her art.

Experience Requirement: 1 previous glass class.

For artists aged 16+.

Please Note:

• You will need hand strength to take this class; successful glass cutting requires 5-10 pounds of pressure by hand.

• You will be standing for long periods of time with this class as well.

• Open toed shoes are NOT allowed in the glass studio.

• If you are pregnant or think you may be, working with stained glass is not recommended.

Ask Darlene how you can gain the experience and expertise to use the glass studio during MVAC’s Open Studio times.

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.

🤣Join us for an evening of entertainment as Lyla and Lynne guide us through the process of making a suncatcher from a metal ring, wire and beads. . . pliers may be involved! If you have ever attended any classes with these two ladies leading, you know you are in for a fun but informative time! And you’ll leave with your own suncatcher! These are absolutely adorable (and I have a few because I was one of their guinea pigs!!)🤗.

ABOUT OUR ARTISTS:

Lyla enjoys crafting and teaching participants new skills. She can often be found helping out some one or some organization in the community and when she isn’t doing that, she’s figuring out how something was made or she’s crafting on her own. You should see her dot art and her alcohol inks!!

Lynne enjoys helping other people. She says she can follow instructions but cannot really expand on the instructions. . . and I have seen her deviate from the path and create some awesome art!!

When these two ladies get together, it is pure comedy!
