What does it mean to be a Treaty person? What is the history and legacy of Treaty 6? And how do treaties continue to impact us all today? Over six weeks, explore what Treaty means to you by engaging in meaningful conversations, personal reflection and creating a needlework sampler. Each week, a different aspect of Treaty 6 will be discussed, and you will use the suggested patterns as a jumping off point to stitch a design in response to the topic.

Come practice your figure drawing in this non-instructional model session! Working from the live model, you can explore figure drawing as you wish, using your favorite materials. Studio equipment such as standing easels, table easels, boards, newsprint paper and pencils will be available, but you are encouraged to bring your own paper and media for exploration. An instructor will be on hand to set the pose, lights, and tend to the model. 

In these 2.5-hour sessions we will have a quick gesture warm up and then either 1 or 2 poses, breaking midway for 10 minutes.
