Wonder in the Mundane

I have always enjoyed the outdoors. When I was young our family always camped in the summer months. My grandparents introduced us to birding, wild edibles, as well as all the lovely
wildflowers. I thought I would focus our workshop on wildflowers.

Have you ever wanted to try watercolour? You have heard all the stories,
Watercolour! Too hard to do! I plan to show you otherwise. I will provide all
the supplies for the class, come and give it a try.

The Summerland Community Arts Council is inviting local artists to take part in this wonderful early summer event by joining us in the greenspace outside the Ryga Arts Centre for a Plein Air Showcase with a nature/gardens theme.
