Bob Lavender Carving Class

February 24th and 25th the Perrons hosted a Bob Lavender carving class at their acreage. That session had students start the carving portion of a large mouth bass about to grab the leg of a frog on a lily pad. On March 24th and 25th the class will continue for the painting portion of the carving. 

Felted Chickadee Working Bee was a Success

We had great fun at the Felted Chickadee Working Bee on January 6 at the Razertip Classroom in Martensville. We made 22 chickadees which will be sold at the various shows SWAA participates in throughout the year.
