Have you ever painted with your breath? Join us June 1st on the lawns of Macpherson House* to do just that. We’ll be painting a fun marsh scene using straws to direct our paint, maybe you’ll be inspired by the Napanee River flowing by, or feel free to improvise and go wherever your artist heart takes you; fireworks anyone?

*Subject to change due to weather conditions, please check our social media pages day of the event to verify the location.

Cost:  FREE!

Look about and see what’s around you, what inspires you? Is it a leaf on the ground, a honey bee zooming by, or maybe a mushroom? Does a phrase come to mind when you see the old house or the river flowing by? Join us on the lawn of Macpherson House* where we’ll provide the materials but it’s up to you to get inspired by what’s around you. There are no wrong answers, just some rocking paintings!

9 June, 2024 at 9:30am - 4:00pm

The drum holds the heartbeat of Mother Earth. In this hands-on class led by Judii Merle, you will construct your own Anishinaabe hand drum and drum stick using materials supplied from the Earth: deer hide and wood. You will learn the history of the hand drum, how to construct and care for your drum and perhaps a song or two. Due to the strength required to tighten the drum, this class is recommended for ages 16 and over.

All day workshop: 9:30am start (Please bring a lunch)

Cost: $150.00 per participant
