Learn to burn! This intro covers everything you need to know to get started.

Introduction to Wood Burning (Pyrography) for Beginners
Learn something new and have fun during this hands on workshop. This small class is perfect for those who are new to wood burning and want to explore the art of pyrography. This is also a good opportunity to try the Razer Tip Woodburning tool before you buy one. You will learn step by step how to create a wood burned work of art. Little art experience is necessary just some time and patience. There is something very soothing and relaxing about burning patterns into wood. You will learn how to use the wood-burner safely. We will go over the difference between the wood burning tools that are available. You will learn how to transfer your drawing onto the wood, which wood works best, and how to add a bit of colour. Wood is supplied and the tool that we use is the Razer Tip woodburning system. Feel free to bring your own reference material to trace or draw from or use templates provided. Some people freehand and just go for it and some people use reference material and trace their design. You can also do a bit of both:) Magically everyone does something totally different and unique to them! It’s a fun thing to do for a date night or a new activity with friends or family. There are only 4 people maximum in a class, ages 12 and up. If you would like to book an evening with your younger kids check out my website:)
Location: 1721 29 Avenue SW Suite #225, Calgary, AB T2T 1P5
Discover the joy of transforming ordinary pieces of wood into your own unique works of art.

Reframe watercolour within the context of contemporary art, challenging preconceived notions of what this medium can achieve. I don’t chase the perfect mark. Instead, I let the painting breathe, revealing its own history through translucent layers….. I like to refer to artwork painted in contemporary Watercolour and Inks as “living works of art.” Translating places into pigments, into works of art that hold a place within them a connection that resonates with the viewer! Controlled pigments only to a glimpse of premeditation, ending in energy transformation! To achieve this, my work is about the movement, manipulation and responding to colour transformations and the pigment itself. “Watercolour isn’t just a medium—it’s alive. The pigments shift, transform, and respond, shaping themselves into something unexpected. Noting that my works are painted on raw canvas and birch panels make you ponder if these are in fact Watercolours themselves!
Ultimately, my work seeks to reframe watercolour, challenging preconceived notions of what this medium can achieve.” Rediscover watercolour, see all that this wonderful medium can be transformed into!

See Canada’s wild beauty through the eyes of the twelve talented artists. Artists spent several days and nights exploring the lakes, trails, wildlife and spectacular views in Glacier National Park as part of the Art in the Park residency.
Presented in partnership with Parks Canada and the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre, this unique artist residency program has brought creators into Glacier National Park’s breathtaking Rogers Pass since 2008. The result is a powerful collection of work that captures the majesty, solitude, and spirit of the Selkirk Mountains.
These artists were granted rare access to explore the park’s lakes, trails, and wildlife—living, hiking, and creating in one of Canada’s most rugged and spectacular environments. The pieces they produced span a wide range of styles and mediums, from oils and infrared photography to ceramics and installation, all rooted in firsthand encounters with the land.
This touring exhibition is a celebration of both artistic exploration and environmental connection—an invitation to experience the park through the eyes of those who walked its paths and translated its grandeur into deeply personal and evocative works of art.

Abby Wilson | Nelson
Amanda Reber | Calgary

Into the Void and Out of the Void is the first solo exhibition of work by Carmine Aspen as a mixed-media artist. This exhibition is designed to be a journey into the many forms joy takes though an artist’s creations. Most of Carmine’s work is informed by their journey navigating a very chaotic and melancholic mind: bright and hopeful but equally existential and depressive. This collection highlights that dichotomy by bringing together works that were created with a desire to discover what things bring joy regardless of their state of mind.
Paint flowing in whatever way made sense and made the canvas more inviting; the flow of ink as an understanding of its nature grew; the soothing rhythm of bringing needle to fabric in a orderly way; favorite bits and pieces of paper coming together to create new things; the smooth glide of mud under a spatula; or bringing to light places that would better suit being in a story.
Come enjoy this diverse collection of eclectic palettes and surreal expressions that lean into the fantastical & abstract, created in a wide range of mediums: collage, paint, embroidery, and more.
About the Artist
Carmine Aspen is a Calgary born mixed-media artist. They specialize in finding new and fun ways to mix up all kinds of mediums together to create colourful, surreal, and abstract pieces. If they can use their hands to make something pretty and chaotic, they’re in. They’ve been creating since they were a child as a way to keep their active ADHD brain happy and as a much-needed source of relief from an ongoing series of mental health issues. They choose to see art in everything and truly believe anything can be used for art. When they’re not creating physical art, you can find them immersed in Calgary’s vibrant writing and live performance scenes.
