Hooked on Handmade

Try something new and let the stress slip away working with your hands to create your very own, handcrafted artisanal pieces.

Our Hooked on Handmade series is open to both youth and adults.

Fresh Air & Fine Art: En Plein Air Painting

Join us for Fresh Air & Fine Art, a relaxed and inspiring painting group set against the stunning landscapes of Grimsby. This group is perfect for artists of all levels who want to capture nature and the local landscape in their art. Each session will take place at a different outdoor location, offering a fresh perspective of the area’s natural beauty. While this is a primarily self- directed experience, our group facilitator, Anja Steensma, will be available for light guidance, support, and encouragement. Be sure to bring your preferred painting supplies, including paints, brushes, and a portable easel. Fresh Air & Fine Art offers a perfect opportunity to connect with fellow artists, find creative inspiration in nature, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of painting outdoors.

Ages: 18+

Fee: $20 per session

Forest Bathing with the Arts

Organized by the Forest Bathing Club in partnership with Grimsby Public Art Gallery, these walks are offered to the public as an introductory experience to the practice of Forest Bathing. Led by Emily Pleasance, artist and Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide, this 2.5 hour experience will offer you a space to tune into your senses and connect with the more-than-human-world through our bodies and the arts. Unlike a hike where there is a destination, this practice is about arriving here, in the present moment.

Date(s): June 21

Time: Saturday, 10:00AM - 12:30PM

Ages: 18+

Fee: $25 per session
