Craft Council Education

The Anna Templeton Centre offers part-time courses and workshops to meet the needs and interests of the community. It has purpose-built instructional areas and studios for print and dye, weaving, sewing, quilting, and multipurpose areas for drawing, painting and a variety of craft activities. Typical workshops include summer art/craft weeks for kids, cartooning, drama, art explorations, black and white photography, drawing, dye techniques, embroidery, knitting, paper making, quilting, traditional rug hooking, sewing (classes range from beginner to advanced), stained glass, tapestry weaving, and much more. Professional development programming for practising craftspeople and artists is designed in close consultation with local industry associations. Both general interest and professional development workshops are taught by professional artists and craftspeople.
