In March and April we have various workshops coming up at the Oakdene Centre, 1913 Clementsvale Road, Bear River.

These will be very small class sizes (between 4 and 6) and most of them by donation. With the promise of tea and cookies l am sure you will want to attend!

At the end of April, Oakdene’s Studio #4 will present a doll/puppet/plushie show or rather anything that has “Limbs and a Head”. This is an open show so please start building.
