John Wort Hannam

September 25 2010

7:00pm

From the prairies in Southern Alberta comes one of Canada

songwriters, John Wort Hannam. For five years John Wort Hannam taught grade

9 language arts on the largest reserve in Canada – The Kainai Nation, part of the

Blackfoot Confederacy. But in 1997 he heard a Loudon Wainwright III record and

was hooked by the music and stories. In 1998 he bought a guitar and learnt

some chords. In 2002 he quit teaching and began to pursue the dream of being

a working musician. John has achieved some fine accolades in a few short years

in cluding a mainstage performance at the 2009 Kerrville Folk Fest, three Grand

Prizes at the Calgary Folk Fest Songwriting Competition, and numerous

nominations and awards. With comparisons to Gordon Lightfoot, James

Keelaghan, and John Prine, John Wort Hannam is a born story- teller with a keen

eye for the quirky and lyrics that create stories behind the songs.

Fashion Nuno Silk and Felt Scarves

July 15, 2010 to July 18, 2010

Conceive, explore and finish a piece of wearable art.  Create your design and it’s yours to wear, using the ancient art of felt-making, with a twist.  Nuno felting allows us to use small amounts of wool on silk fabric to make a extremely drapeable felt.  We will combine very soft Merion wool on silk chiffon, with a wet felt technique.  Each scraf will have natural fibre accents.  No experience necessary.  A materials fee of $50, payable to the instructor, provides wool fabric and silk fabric, along with supplies (which you take home with you).

Jackie Sylvester settled on Amherst Island, temporarily, 32 year ago, having worked with fabric for the previous decade.  She was a weaver with Design Senior in the 70’s.  Joining the Kingston Handweavers and Spinners eight years ago (segueing out of her career in residential design and finishing details), Jackie was seduced by her introduction to felting.  she has been exploring the medium of felt for the past several years.  She is also a novice spinner and gardener.

Landscapes in Oil

July 4, 2010 to July 9, 2010

Demonstrations in the studio and outdoors focus on composing a painting from the outdoors-how to begin, from stetch and block-in to final details. Each day includes individual critiques. Weather premitting, we will paint on location at The Lodge and take field trips to locations on the island. Lucy will supplement classes with a supply of art books and videos to be enjoyed in the evening at The Lodge.

Lucy specializes in oils to capture the Ontario landscape in a loose painterly style, emphasizing colour and value. Her favorite subject is the traditional landscape, as well as the wilderness scences of northern Ontario. While working on location, she tries to capture the mood and feeling for the subject in that particular weather and at that particular time of day. She studied at Sir Sanford Fleming College and her works have recieved numerous awards at juried shows. Please note: This workshop is not suited to beginners, as you are expected to paint outdoors and need the proper “on location” equipment and at least some experience doing so. We will also paint indoors.
