Sound interesting, come along to the Arts Station and dance the night away with a sizzling salsa or a waltz you never thought you would dare. With the start of a new year why not try something exciting.
Fun! Fun! Fun! Give yourself a creative jump, break some rules & breathe life into an old hardcover book by building up a new one! Play with Japanese paper collage, cutouts, painting, lino prints, popup structures, while sharing the power of a group. Warmup activities begin each class. Emphasis on process. All levels welcome. 
Hand-bound books of grades 4 & 10’s from IDES & Fernie Secondary will be on display at the Arts Station through January. Having worked from the oral traditions of the Ktunaxa and Blackfoot stories, students will bring together their own stories to develop a personal mythology and document this in a personalized hand-bound book.
A show of work created by the Fernie Spinners and Weavers Guild in the last two years - will open November 27th until December 27th. The making of felt is one of our pursuits and will be exhibited along with handspun and handwoven items with emphasis on the “Bag”. During the show, members will demonstrate spinning and weaving on scheduled afternoons.
