Crystal Journey Sonic Sound Concert with David Hickey
Aug
22

Crystal Journey Sonic Sound Concert with David Hickey

David Hickey has been performing throughout Canada and the United States for over 20 years, with nearly 1 400 shows to date and has released 10 CD’s.

The shows will take place in two 40-50 minute sets. David’s set up includes 6 Quartz Crystal Bowls, 8 Paiste Planet and Symphonic Gongs, 2 Persian Santoors and Harmonica.

Occasionally David uses his vocals to create harmonized chants. Nothing is amplified, pre-recorded or rehearsed. Each set and performance is sonically pure, unique and completely improvised.

CD's will be available for purchase at the shows.

For more info about the music, go to: www.crystaljourney.ca

Bring a yoga mat or blanket to lie on.

While people of all ages are welcome to attend, people 13 years of age and younger must be accompanied by an adult.

A WORD FROM OUR ARTIST:

I hope to create more awareness of my music. The world and in particular the human race is at a crossroads. Music can help ease some of our stress and hostility. Each Crystal Journey concert is aimed at providing the audience with a safe and relaxing environment. Each of my performances are completely improvised and unique.

ABOUT THE INSTRUMENTS AND SOUNDS TO WHICH YOU WILL BE EXPOSED:

Paiste Gongs:

Planet Gongs are tuned to the natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Earth, Moon, Sun, and Planets. All of these gongs resonate in harmony with the celestial bodies and communicate a distinct aspect of the Music of the Spheres, which was first documented by Pythagoras in the 6th Century BC. Each planet gong contributes a vital pitch to the total harmonic resonance of our solar system.

Crystal Bowls:

The bowls are made of 99.992% crushed quartz crystal that is heated to 4000 degrees in a centrifugal mold. The thickness of the bowl determines the note, digitally tuned to C D E F G A and B corresponding to the charkas, our energy centers; root (C), sacral (D), solar plexus (E), heart (F), throat (G), third eye (A), and crown (B) The diameter of the bowl determines the pitch, ranging from 6 inches to 22 inches.

Persian Santoor:

Persian Santoor consists of a trapeziform case made of walnut wood, approximately 90 cm wide at the broad end, 36 cm wide at the narrow end and 6 cm deep. The strings are fixed to hitch-pins along the left-hand side and wound round metal wrest-pins on the right by means of which they are tuned with a tuning-key (Tuning Wrench). Each quadruple set of strings rests on a movable bridge of hardwood (kharak). The bridges are placed so that the strings are divided into three sections, giving the fundamental note and two higher octaves.

There are nine (or sometimes 10, 11 and 12) quadruple strings an either side so that, with 18 groups of strings, 27 different notes can be played. The bass strings are of brass or copper and the trebles of steel.

Persian Santoor is played by striking the strings with two light hammers (mezrab) held in three fingers of each hand. The ends of the sticks are usually covered with cloth to soften their impact on the strings.

Harmonica:

The harmonica, also known as a French harp or mouth organ, is a free reed wind instrument used worldwide in many musical genres, notably in blues, American folk music, classical music, jazz, country, and rock and roll. There are many types of harmonica, including diatonic, chromatic, tremolo, octave, orchestral, and bass versions. A harmonica is played by using the mouth (lips and tongue) to direct air into or out of one or more holes along a mouthpiece. Behind each hole is a chamber containing at least one reed. A harmonica reed is a flat elongated spring typically made of brass, stainless steel, or bronze.

Evening Stained Glass Sea Shells with Darlene Strong
Jun

Evening Stained Glass Sea Shells with Darlene Strong

This class is full.

Darlene Strong has taken us on numerous adventures in the stained glass world from winter mittens to feathers to garden stakes. This time, we are headed “by the sea”. She has a few choices of patterns (fish, sea shells, starfish), so you might want to think ahead of time if you would like to create shells, or fish! You will make 2 or more aquatic creatures, depending on your glass experience and the detail/difficulty of the pattern you select.

For artists aged 14+

Class size is limited to 4 participants.

All supplies are included in the cost of the class.

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 might be, working with stained glass is not recommended.

  • Our glass studio is downstairs so you must be able to navigate stairs.

DYK: that Darlene's glass classes will have you trained up enough to use the glass studio on your own? Ask Darlene about the skill requirement to get to this level!

Registration for this class closes midnight, June 11th.

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.

Beginners' Shuttle Tatting with Melissa Magnusson - May Edition
May
29

Beginners' Shuttle Tatting with Melissa Magnusson - May Edition

Tatting is an ancient knotting art dating back over 200 years. It is believed it originated with fishermen and sailors as the tatting shuttle is similar to a tool used to repair fishing nets. It uses a tatting shuttle and crochet cotton . . . the finer the crochet cotton, the more dainty your tatting will be.

In Canada, tatting is not as popular as knitting and crocheting but it is hugely popular in Germany, Italy and Japan. The fine lace created by tatting is different from either knitting or crochet. It can be said that tatting is more ornamental whereas knitting and crocheting are more practical.

Melissa is a retired educator who has enjoyed tatting for over 40 years. She learned to tat when she was 12 by attending a course instructed at the Regional Library, but those lessons were reinforced by her maternal grandmother who was also a tatter. Besides tatting, Melissa enjoys all sorts of arts and crafts as well as gardening and preserving. She is currently working part-time with the Moosomin Visual Arts Centre as an administrative assistant and she helps with the kids’ programming.

This class is limited to 4 participants.

Participants must be 13 years of age or older.

You will require your own tatting shuttle. These can be purchased at Sew Creative & Interiors in Moosomin or they can be ordered online. Crochet cotton will be provided.

Kayla will break down how social media platforms work, guide you in crafting a simple, effective marketing strategy tailored to your business, and share time-saving techniques to make content creation easier. She’ll also dive into the psychology and statistics behind social media marketing, giving you the tools to better understand and connect with your audience.

Bring with you:

  • a notebook for notes

  • the device you will do the majority of your marketing on (phone or tablet)

Kayla Porter is a social media strategist and the founder of Kayla Porter Social, dedicated to helping small businesses create successful content without the overwhelm.

Kayla will break down how social media platforms work, guide you in crafting a simple, effective marketing strategy tailored to your business, and share time-saving techniques to make content creation easier.

Evening Stained Glass Garden Stakes with Darlene Strong

This class is full.

Darlene Strong is taking us on another adventure in the stained glass world. This time, we are creating garden stakes. She has a few choices of patterns, so you might want to think ahead of time if you would like to create flowers, hearts, birds or bees! You will make 2 - 4 garden stakes, depending on your glass experience and the detail/difficulty of the pattern you select.

For artists aged 14+

Class size is limited to 4 participants.

All supplies are included in the cost of the class.

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 might be, working with stained glass is not recommended.

  • Our glass studio is downstairs so you must be able to navigate stairs.

DYK: that Darlene's glass classes will have you trained up enough to use the glass studio on your own? Ask Darlene about the skill requirement to get to this level!

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.
