“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”~Pablo Picasso. Well how about having a glass of wine with us and explore Painting with Wine on February 28 th at Rivers Bend Winery from 6:00 to 9:30 pm. We will start off the evening with a brief wine tasting and then instructor Leslie Redhead will guide us throug h the process. Surprisingly like watercolour painting the layers applied create a beautiful end result. You can book your space by calling Mary Wiebe at 778-294-4971 Space is limited so book early. The cost is $50 per person. This includes your materials, wine tasting, tote bag and your own artwork to display proudly. No experience is required. All proceeds go to the Peninsula Arts Foundation’s scholarship program.

This is the first workshop we will be hosting in 2013. We are exploring others ideas like pottery, dying silk scarves, jewellery making and other forms of art. We encourage you to contact us if you have suggestions for classes that you would enjoy seeing us put on. Stay tuned to our website’s events page for future classes. There are many things we can do but we have to make them affordable, find a suitable place to hold the event and also an instructor that will be willing to teach the class. Our goal is to broaden the awareness of the community to our existence and find new ways to fundraise wh ile having some fun doing it. We hope you will join us and tell your friends about it too.
