In this workshop, students will learn the fundamentals of shading by exploring the purpose of value in art. Value is the lightness and/or darkness of an object or area, and in the art world, we create the illusion of form by shading our drawings. We will look at the different pencils that are used for shading, and the basics of shading.

Names tell us a lot. They give others a hint about where live, the language we speak and the culture we belong to. In the spirit of naming and honouring important people in your life, Tracy invites you to embroider the name of a person you want to recognize. This could be anyone you admire or love, or even yourself. We will make a simple embroidery on felt using colourful threads and appliquéd fabric. This piece can have special meaning when you embroider it in the language of your family, culture and ancestors. What's in a Name? Embroidery Tracey Fehr
