Watercolour Painting at Pentz Elementary

I gave a special Watercolour workshop for grade six students at Pentz Elementary for the Fort Point Historical Society. The students created images inspired by maps designed by the the earliest European settlers of the Lahave region. I showed them how to use salt and oil pastels to achieve interesting effects with the paint.

The paintings turned out beautifully!

Lunenburg Academy Memory Quilt

The students who created the Lunenburg Academy Memory Quilt Project and I were invited to a Genealogy Conference in Lunenburg. We were asked to speak about the process of making the quilt and officially handed over the quilt to the Academy.

The quilt currently hangs at the Bluenose Academy in Lunenburg. Check it out!
