The College of the North Atlantic St. Anthony Campus offers a variety of community and general interest programs that are available during Fall, Winter and Spring. I have personally completed Introduction to Basic Digital Photography and Rug Hooking. I would love to take a class on seal skin boot making or snowshoe making. It is important we continue traditional ways of our parents and grandparents. Why not consider learning a rural or new life skill?
MHA Dale Kirby (St. John’s North) & I visited the College of the North Atlantic St. Anthony Campus’ Glass Art Studio. Below is information on the program from the CNA website:
Glass Art
Dates: Fall, Winter, Spring
Cost: Please contact campus
Duration: 18 hours
This course teaches participants the techniques of creating glass works that can be displayed as works of art or for everyday use. Participants will learn the basics of glass cutting, designing and kiln firing to create plates, platters, wall hangings, mugs, glass panels, and other similar items limited only by the artist’s imagination. http://www.cna.nl.ca/campus/sa/programs.asp#evening

I would love to have some of these mini courses offered in our area too!!
Maybe the college could offer them in the Straits area in the evening also.
I would recommend calling to see if this could be arranged. A big reason for taking rug hooking is that they offered it in Flower’s Cove.
