Art & Attention Workshop for Children
Saturday, May 9th
10am to 2pm
Art & Attention Workshop for Adults
Wednesday, May 6th
6:30 - 9:30pm
Heidi Thompson Workshops at Gallery Vertigo:
The artist will also give two workshops titled "Art & Attention" at Gallery Vertigo during the run of her exhibition. These workshops will be offered free of charge but pre-registration is required. Please call the gallery for more information if you would like to participate. (250-503-2297)
"Art & Attention" is just that – a workshop aimed at developing one’s attention and then applying that focus to painting. A great combination, considering art is ultimately an expression of one’s state of mind.
A calm, observant mind, will affect one’s power to see things clearly, sustain energy and stay focused. These positive qualities will directly influence and infuse one’s artistic expression - whatever that expression may be." (Thompson)
Heidi Thompson is available to answer questions about the workshops:

Thompson will give an artist talk on Wednnesday April 29th from 7:30 to 8:30pm. The artist will talk about the artistic journey that led her to creating non-objective art colour fields. This discussion may interest those trying to break free from dependency on using external forms as subject matter in their art. She will discuss her painting techniques and approaches to art making.
About Heidi Thompson:
At age seventeen, Thompson moved to Europe and studied photography at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich, Switzerland where she received a four year diploma. She then apprenticed under the German painter Oskar Koller in Nurnberg and then attended the Hungarian Academy for Art in Budapest. After eight years of training, the artist returned to Vernon in 1982. In 2000 she earned her B.F.A and then in 2001, her B.C. Teacher’s Certificate, For over 30 years she has been involved in painting, photography, publishing, teaching art, and exhibiting, including recent shows in New York, Toronto and Montreal. Thompson has also been practicing Vipassana (a meditation technique) for over 20 years and has conducted several Advanced Attention Development workshops in Vernon and Vancouver.Thompson has also published two books, one of which is about the late Sveva Caetani, one of Vernon's most cherished artists.

Woodcarving Course with Rick Wiebe
I am hosting a 3-day woodcarving course at my house on May 27th, 28th and 29th from 10am - 12:30pm with Rick Wiebe. The cost is $60.00 per child and he supplies everything they need. He offers this for kids aged 9 and up.
If you would like to check out his website here is the link:
http://www.woodcarvingbiz.com/
We will hopefully be able to do this outside but if the weather does not cooperate I will move furniture around in the house and make it work.
Parents are welcome to drop off their kids if they have siblings who will not be doing the course.
Email me at klmackay@shaw.ca if you are interested.
Thanks, Kathy
I forgot to say $60 plus GST

Next meeting
Hi everyone,
Hugette Allen from the Green Party is looking for small groups she can have conversations with before the upcoming election. Is anyone interested in having her come to our next meeting for the first hour or so? Sam Zaharia is in charge of planning get-togethers for Hugette and she thought our group might like to do that.
There is an all candidates forum on Monday night at the Anglican church hosted by the local Food Action Society ( I hope I got the name right) from 7-9. A good chance to get some of your concerns aired.

Swimming Today Anyone?
Hi everyone,
I'm posting this for Debby Ready. It looks like it will be too rainy for the park today. Would anyone like to go swimming this afternoon- say 12:30-1ish instead of going to the park? Debby said she and Ava will be there. I'd love to go but I still have one child with a runny nose and a cough. Hope you all have a good weekend!

We've been to the free kids workshops at Home Depot. Is there any other free or low cost kids workshops like that locally? Scrapbooking? Knitting? Other?
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if some of you are going to be around this weekend. We are and if the weather is nice, we are planning to go to Lakeview Park.
Is any one else planning to?
