Gordon Neighbourhood House

Join us for some family fun at the West End Family Place!

This art workshop is built around play and working with various unpredictable art materials (bubble guns, natural materials from the outside world: rocks, leaves, pinecones, etc.), while introducing young kids to different shapes, specifically circles, and spheres. Participants will get to create their own bubble world, paint using materials you might have not used in the past, and simply play around and have some fun through art. Parents and family members with kids ages 3-10 are welcome to register! Materials will be provided as well as aprons for the kids. About the facilitator:Peisen Ding is a young artist who loves working with younger kids and university students, introducing them to various art forms through art and play, exploration of identities, and fictional characters.“My work mainly focuses on exploring queer identity, and everyday urban life. It helps me to express my feelings, and observe the city, as we imagine a utopian world. More importantly, I hope my work can deliver love, care, and courage to people who are immigrants to Canada, and/or from the LGBTQIA2S+ community”Registration: The event is free to attend with Gordon House membership: $5/ a year for single parents, $7/ a year for families with more than 1 parent.
