SUMMARY:Fabric Collage with Alisa
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday May 20th\, 6:00pm -8:00pm\n\nCalling all fabric scraps!!\n\nThis workshop is all about slowing down and doing some hand stitching by using scraps of fabric and trim as your inspiration. \nWe will work on a fabric collage either on a piece of fabric that can be framed\, hung or used as a patch\, or directly onto your favourite garment (think jean jacket jazz-up). \nThe best thing about this is it uses up all the little scraps that crafters are often left with. We will go over some different sewing techniques and some embroidery stitches too. You can use this time to play\, tell a story with your work or just relax into some hand stitching. \nAll materials will be included!

SUMMARY:Walking as Remapping: Poem-Making from Place with Anna Swanson
DESCRIPTION:May 13.2025 6:00pm – 8:30pm\n\n\nLocation: The Boathouse Tea Room\, 116 Gordon St\, Guelph ON\nPrice: Free\nWalking as Remapping\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis walk invites participants to engage in an exploration of place through poetry. Inspired by the practice of ecological mapping and the work of writer Anna Swanson\, participants will use sight\, sound\, and texture as tools for gathering language from the world around us on this walk along the Speed and Eramosa Rivers. Throughout the walk\, landscape and cityscape will be observed not just as scenery\, but as layered texts: full of found language\, silences\, and ruptures. \nStarting and ending at the Covered Bridge steps by the Boathouse Tea Room\, this walk includes moments of observation\, note-taking\, and guided prompts that encourage poetic response. The poems created—individually and together—become a remapping of Guelph based on the sensory\, emotional\, and imagined textures of the city. No experience with poetry is required—just a willingness to walk\, to notice\, and to listen. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Quiet Unfolding | Bahar Enshaeian
DESCRIPTION:Through photography\, Bahar Enshaeian unravels the intricate layers of memory\, identity\, and belonging. Rooted in personal experience\, her work speaks to the complexities of migration\, displacement\, and the search for home. Blending photographs with ephemeral objects\, Enshaeian creates a rich narrative that traces the emotional and cultural currents of life between Iran and Canada—glimpses of fleeting moments\, intimate spaces\, and evolving relationships that reveal how memory takes shape within and between movement and distance. \nLanguage plays a central role in her practice; Persian and English exist alongside one another\, marking the duality of her experience. Weaving together her personal story with broader\, shared narratives of migration\, Enshaeian’s work forges a space between the deeply personal and the universally resonant. Transcending records of time and place\, her photographs become meditations on longing\, adaptation\, and the ways in which we construct a sense of belonging when “home” is no longer singular but expansive and fluid. \nClick here for more info.

SUMMARY:Wallflower Paintings by Corine van Hoeve
DESCRIPTION:Based in Dundas\, Ontario\, Corine began actively drawing and painting in mid-career after taking courses at the Dundas Valley School of Art (DVSA). Having previously obtained degrees from the University of Guelph\, Western University\, and University of Toronto\, she has\, at different times\, worked in finance and education as well as project management. When not out painting or sketching from life or en plein air\, Corine works from her studio at the Cotton Factory in Hamilton\, Ontario. \nInstagram: @cvanhoeve\nWebsite: cvanhoeve.ca\nEmail: cvanhoeve@gmail.com \nWhile artwork is made to be viewed and commented upon\, a ‘wallflower’ is\, by definition\, the opposite. It describes an individual who\, though present at parties and gatherings\, actively avoids direct connection with others. My paintings embody this duality: encouraging people to look while at the same time not necessarily returning the gaze. On another level\, they are studies in observation\, perhaps a little like a wallflower might carefully scrutinize who’s the life of the party from the corner of the room. I analyze value\, colour and form in terms of scale and composition\, seeking to create some kind of balance and harmony to ease the discomfort of being seen. \nApril 21 – May 21\, 2025 \nArtist Reception: May 3rd\, 2-4pm \n3rd Floor Gallery Wyndham Art Supplies 125 Wyndham St N\, Guelph ON \nGallery Hours: M-F 3-5pm\, Sat 12-5 \nFor more info click here.
