Creative Thursdays – Studio sessions at home
This season’s Creative Thursdays are inspired by works of art in the exhibition Uninvited: Canadian Women Artists in the Modern Moment.
Our online studio sessions feature artists from across the country, working in a range of mediums. In each one-hour Zoom webinar you’ll be introduced to a new work of art from Uninvited, and be guided through a studio lesson by a practicing artist.
These live events will be recorded and posted on the NGC YouTube channel in the weeks following the workshop.
| English Session: 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. (EDT) | |
| French Session: 7:30 – 8:30 p.m. (EDT) |
Technical Support for Creative Thursdays, before and during live online studio classes.
Description
In this workshop, participants will learn a two-needle appliqué beading method as they create a floral pin. Each pin will be backed with leather and completed using a zipper edging technique.
