About our Artist, Tammy Beckett:

Honestly I absolutely hated the first paint class I ever attended!!! A couple years later with different friends and a different instructor, I attended another class and found an outlet for some new creative expression by me. That was about 8 years ago.

Painting is something I usually only have time to concentrate on in the winter. I dabble in many different types of crafts and am always eager to learn. Sharing what I know is always a pleasure.

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.

Fill out the form in the link below to register for the 6PM class.

Please include, in the “memo” section of your e-transfer payment, the name of the person participating and the name of the class being taken.

This class is now full.

What is needle felting?

Needle felting is a fibre art. It involves, basically, taking a ball of wool and stabbing (I’m sure it is more finessed than this but I need to take the class to find out the intricacies) it repeatedly with a sharp, barbed needle, to sculpt it into two and three dimensional shapes.

All supplies for this class are provided.

What are we creating?

We will be sculpting our own little bird similar to the bird shown in the advertisement.

Why is this class so cheap?

The cost of this class is being supplemented by a grant from the South East Sport, Culture and Recreation District. It costs a mere $5/person to take part in this class.

Who is teaching this class?

Rhonda Lamb will be our instructor. She will be travelling from Kronau (just outside of Regina) to show us how to make our little birdies.

“Rhonda Lamb has been involved in the fibre arts for approximately 20 years. It began with the purchase of her first llamas, which led to learning about spinning, knitting, dyeing, and weaving. She was motivated to learn about various types of fibres and the wide array of creative opportunities this medium can offer.

Felting just “felt” right. Rhonda has been exploring the felting medium for over 10 years; she enjoys needle felting, wet felting, and nuno felting. Rhonda’s vision since beginning her journey in felt has been to create unique, technically strong, seamless artwork in fashion. She has been fortunate to take workshops with internationally recognized felters, including Fiona Duthie, Katia Mokeyeva, Sharon Costello, Jessica de Haaus, and Andrea Graham. These inspirational individuals have provided Rhonda with a variety of approaches, concepts, and techniques that she has combined to develop her own ideas towards her art.” (source: https://saskcraftcouncil.org/project/rhonda-lamb/)

Who can attend the class?

Anyone . . . parents, use your discretion with your kids . . . the needles are SHARP.

We need a minimum of 3 people to run the workshop and Rhonda will accept up to 8 people.

How do I make sure my name is on the class list?

ABOUT J’AIME:

J’aime Payne is a business leader, creative entrepreneur, and community builder who brings together corporate expertise, artistic experience, and a strong understanding of rural community life in her work with the Moosomin Visual Arts Centre (MVAC).

Her career began in Toronto’s music industry as a professional songwriter before she moved into arts advocacy as Director of Member Services at the Canadian Recording Artists’ Association. In 2018, she founded The Snow Lake Initiative, a social enterprise that supported artists through microgrants and mentorship.

J’aime later founded and grew Breeze Business Management, a virtual bookkeeping firm serving clients across Canada, building expertise in operations, financial strategy, and sustainable growth. After relocating from Ontario to Saskatchewan in 2022 and now calling Moosomin home, she has spent the past two years deeply involved in the local community, bringing a valuable mix of big-city experience and small-town perspective.

As Treasurer of MVAC, she contributes strategic leadership, financial stewardship, and a strong vision for accessible, sustainable arts programming. She is also involved in local cultural initiatives, including starting the Little Film Fest on the Prairies, and works to make arts and culture more visible and connected in Moosomin.

In February 2026, J’aime launched Moosospin Studio, a dark boutique indoor cycling studio that reflects her passion for building thoughtful, community-centered experiences. Across every project, she is guided by the belief that creativity thrives when supported by strong infrastructure, practical systems, and inclusive opportunities.

This special class will be taught by J’aime’s mom, who is visiting with three of her five sisters, making this a true family baking experience. Together, they'll share their favourite recipes, tips, and techniques for creating delicious homemade tarts.

You'll learn to make:
• Classic Butter Tarts (no raisins!)
• Coconut Butter Tarts with J’aime’s Aunt Karen

We'll demonstrate how to make pastry dough from scratch, but to make sure we get to the fun part (and finish in about 1–1.5 hours), we'll be working with dough that the sisters have prepared in advance. You'll still learn the process while getting hands-on experience rolling, filling, and baking your tarts.

Registration closes one week before the class (midnight, June 22nd) so we can purchase supplies.

Minimum 4 participants
No maximum participants

If interest exceeds our oven capacity, we'll simply move into the main studio space. Feel free to bring your own muffin tin or tart pan and take your assembled tarts home to bake at your convenience.

Whether you're a seasoned baker or have never made pastry before, this is a fun opportunity to learn family recipes, pick up some baking tips, and enjoy an evening of good company.

Come hang out with us and learn how to make delicious butter tarts!

The epitome of gorgeous, that’s what this is! Imagine capturing your memories in this resin beach tray. You will start with a wood tray that you will paint. Darlene will teach you how to blend the acrylic colours to create the sea floor. Once that is done, you will add shells, sand, etc. to create the shore. The final step is to cover everything in resin and add white ink for the waves.

Supplies are included in your cost, but if you have some small sea shells, sea glass or the like that you have collected on your own travels, please feel free to bring them with you!

There are only 4 spots available.

Ages 13+.

The process will take 2 - 3 hours.

Learn some new techniques and go home with a project you can use!

***Please note, we will be doing this class in the Glass Studio so we are in the basement of the Anglican Church. You must be able to navigate stairs.

Registration for this class closes midnight, June 24th.

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.
