Excited News! We are happy to announce the dates of our upcoming hands-on workshop. These workshops are all free drop – in session with all materials provide, anyone is welcome. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
March 6th 6:30 – 9:00PM // Zine Workshop
You are invited to make a simple 8 panel zine that explores the theme of home and community. You will be encouraged to use the zine as a medium to create a short 6-7 pages story/memoir/bio that relates to memories at the Thompson neighbourhood and community. We will share samples of zines that we’ve made too. It will be a fun and relaxing hands-on activity.
March 7th – 21st // Community Board Engagement
There will be a fun interactive bulletin board set up at the Thompson Community Centre for a two weeks span. We invite everyone to draw or write in respond to the Community themed questions on the board! In addition, we will leave copies of the interactive activity zines for people to take home, allowing you to have more time to answer the questions. After, People can either return the zines back to the submission box that will be attached to the board or take a photo and send it to us via email.
*This engagement involves a lucky draw component with lots of amazing gifts. More details to come closer to date, so keep yourself updated with our blog and social media!
April 18th 10 – 2:00PM // Appreciation Postcard Making
Draw or decorate a friendly postcard and send to someone in the community that you feel grateful for: perhaps your favourite Thompson staff member, a long term friend that you go to fitness class with, or maybe your neighbour, etc. This will be a simple, relaxing, art making session where you can also show some appreciation towards the community!
Please join us for these upcoming workshops 🙂 Your participation may inform or aspire a new mural for the Thompson Community Centre!
