This was a last minute event I was so lucky to be a part of, thanks to fellow Tsawwassenite and photographer, Tracey Ayton. I love new experiences, and this was certainly a change of space and environment that fed into the interior-lover part of my brain. Once A Tree promotes a collection of Interior Designer by Showcasing an inspired space that is lovingly and secretly crafted by the chosen designer. This evening's event celebrated the work of the very talented Gillian Segal. Friends, family, and those in the industry came together for a soiree of wine tastings and pairings, delicious appetizers and most of all, anticipation for the hidden gem waiting to be revealed.
Art Club | Summer Edition: Week 3
Aritzia: Summer Hangout
A few favourite images from this year's Aritzia Summer Hangout. Attendees were treated to a blazing afternoon of sunshine in East Van with everyone's favourite food trucks, a terrific menu of drinks, entertainment booths, and picnic tables to sit and enjoy with friends.
Art Club | Summer Edition: Week 2
Week 2's projects included Windchimes and Indigo! The windchimes were a new project that we brought on board. In choosing our materials, the aim is to use pre-existing materials that can be recycled or natural materials that will leave a smaller footprint. We used a variety of wood in addition to bamboo from the bamboo grove here at School House Farm. The kids painted the top piece white and chose from a variety of patterns (including splatter painting) painted in black. A colour pattern of Beads were added to their centre string before the task of tying began. It was definitely more labourious than I had expected, but everyone was very proud and pleased with their final product!
Indigo, as usual, was anticipatory, then really boring and smelly, and ended with sweet victory, excitement, and pride.
Art Club | Summer Edition: Week 1
We are in the second half of summer and filling our weeks up with Art Club sessions! Emily has been so kind as to host these fun creative adventures at School House Farm, providing a beautifully inspiring and open space for our energetic artists. The week kicked off with Abstract Acrylic Painting on Canvasses, followed by our Gift Wrap session, and ending with Indigo. I was really excited for the new Gift Wrapping session (I'm probably going to renamed it That's A Wrap because I'm just into fun names for things...) which turned out super fantastic!!! I will definitely have to get my hands on a few more Pom Pom makers as those were definitely a favourite by far. The Acrylic Painting always puts me on edge because of the permanence and all the accidental squeezing too much paint or possible end game of BROWN FROM MIXING ALL THE COLOURS, but as you will see, they all turned out uniquely awesome in every way. Indigo was indigo, a lot of impatience and aversion to the smell, but inevitably always worth the end product!
