Greenie, an active member of our pottery studio, will introduce participants to pottery basics. In this six-week program, participants will become familiar with the materials and tools used for throwing pottery (the pottery wheel) and hand building. There will be an opportunity to complete three projects during this series.

• Early registration is recommended as space is limited (we have six wheels).

• Registration is for the ENTIRE series. You only need to register once (September 13th class). The other classes are in the calendar as place-holders. The classes are not offered individually during this series.

• Payment is required when the registration is confirmed via email. Refunds are not available unless the class is cancelled.

Working with clay is messy. Participants should bring an apron and wear clothing they don’t mind getting dirty. Long nails should be cut short so they don’t interfere with your work.

Join us as Sarah shares her stories about Indigenous cultural traditions. During this session, participants are invited to use natural materials to create artwork inspired by these stories. The artwork creation is optional, though last year all the participants got involved (even those who claimed they didn’t have any artistic talent).

We are grateful to Nak’azdli Whut’en for offering the financial support that allows us to offer this workshop for free. Although there is no cost, please register in advance as space is limited. All ages are welcome to join us.

Join us as Sarah shares her passion for the Dakelh language. Although a similar format to her Pining for Connection workshop, this session will focus on her journey with learning Dakelh and why it is critical. During this session, participants are invited to use natural materials to create artwork inspired by the discussion. The artwork creation is optional.

This is your chance to have your unique creation included in a Canada-wide mural mosaic. We hope you will join in the fun!

You will receive a “tile” (small canvas board) on which you will create a painting. The colour palette will be assigned; however, the design is up to you. Your completed “tile” will be photographed and sent to the Mural Mosaic organizers for inclusion in the mural. The completed mural will be unveiled in the Autumn/Winter of 2026 and will eventually be on display in cities around Canada.

You can learn more about the project at www.muralmosaic.com/bears.

Are you new to quilting, or an experienced quilter who wants to learn the square-in-square quilting method? Great! This class will cover both. Join Linda Connolly and Joan MacGillivray (along with other members of the Fort St. James Quilting Group) as they guide you through a day of cutting, piecing, and sewing!

If you already have the book (Jodi Barrows - Quick and Easy Quilting) and the five-technique ruler, you only need to pay a $25 class fee. Linda and Joan have kindly offered to donate the entire class fee to Pope Mountain Arts!

If you are NOT familiar with the square-in-square technique, the instructors request you wait until the class before starting your quilt project.

Please review the supplies list to ensure you come prepared with the required materials. There will be a cutting mat and general sewing rulers for those interested in trying quilting before investing in tools.

As this is a full-day class, we suggest you bring a lunch (including drinks). Bottled water and cold beverages are available for sale ($2 each).

Note: the FSJ Quilting Group quilts together on the first Saturday of each month. You are welcome to attend the monthly event in October and/or November (drop-in fee is $10 pp). Group members will learn how to use the 4 and 9 patch rulers. Everyone is welcome to work on their own projects.
