Please join us and bring your family for a fun day of Christmas and seasonal craft making with community artist, Tracy Franks. All ages welcome!

Join your neighbours and make new friends as we gather to celebrate the winter season together at the VCA with some crafting fun. Make a few unique crafts for yourself or to give away as gifts. No previous experience necessary, just bring your enthusiasm!

Who wants to decorate cookies? – Turn your culinary talents into a work of art as you learn to decorate handmade sugar or gingerbread cookies with colourful icing in a rainbow of colours. Add some artistic flair with candy decorations and sprinkles. (Just remember not to eat them all before you get home!).

Wearable Buttons – Learn how to make your own personalized art pin-on buttons to attach to your clothes, shoes, backpacks, hats, etc. Great to make to give away as a gift or stocking stuffer – they can even pin onto a stocking or decorate a gift. (Adults will be using the machine press).

Card making – It’s the season to give cards to those we care about. Whether you make it simple or really go crazy, we’ll have everything you’ll need to make a great card anyone would love to receive. If one’s not enough, then make two!

Let’s hang out! –  Using a variety of quality craft materials suitable for any age group, and a little glue, get super creative and make a unique hanging ornament. No two ornaments will look alike at this fun table!  No tree? – Then hang it from a window and watch it dangle!

Penguins, polar bears and walrus, oh my! Who likes living in the cold? We do! Using colourful cardstock papers and butterfly fasteners, make your favourite winter animal from our template designs (or create your own snow creature) and watch it come alive with moving parts. It’s going to be so cute you’ll want to name it! (Children under 6 will need help with scissors at this table.)
