    Funded by a generous grant from United Way Peterborough & District, this accessible, free, drop-in encourages you to explore new materials, experiment with new techniques, and express yourself. We provide all the materials.

    Activities are geared towards ages 5 and up. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. All are welcome. No skill necessary - only curiosity and a willingness to try.

    Creating Space is a community arts studio that fosters connection and resilience by making art of all sorts, telling stories, and learning together in Nogojiiwanong/ Peterborough, Ontario.

    We aim to practice radical hospitality and inclusion, responding in creative ways to things that matter in our community. We do this through hosting drop in workshops at the Artisan's Centre and pop-up creative arts activities around town. We believe in the power of creative expression to foster resilience in all of us.

    It is our privilege to engage in creative play on Michi Saagig Anishinaabe territory.

    Looking for an point of interest on your 
    outdoor wall or fence?  Come and experience the fun of working with Powertex, a liquid that will harden cotton material permanently, and also make it impervious to rain and snow.  All necessary materials will be provided for this class, though you may wish to bring a piece of jewellery to add something special to you piece.  I will have some pieces of jewellery you can chose from as well.  

    Long plastic aprons will be supplied for everyone. Though it is strongly recommended that you do not dress in “good clothes” as well, in case Powertex gets on your clothing!  

    Teacher:  Barbara Bellchambers   

    Bring a lunch or be prepared to buy one.
