Last week was a fantastic week of teaching! I love it when students are passionate about learning something new. One women was so thrilled with her experience she wrote a post on her blog! When Heather arrived with her camera I had this fleeting moment she thought I was going to teach photography! The moment passed when I saw she also had her torch with her.
I'm teaching again this fall for what used to be North Shore Continuing Education but is now Vanterra Education. The City of North Vancouver dropped all non academic courses last June. Former course co-ordinator Linda VanderHeide recognized a need in the community for these courses and Vanterra Education was born.
"Vanterra Community Education is proud to continue the tradition of life-long learning (continuing education) on the North Shore. We offer a variety of Certificate and General Interest courses. Whether you’re planning to improve your career, learn a new language, or take up a new hobby, Vanterra will be the place to start." ~ Linda VanderHeide
I'm pleased to say that I will be teaching the Silversmithing Introduction course once more.
Date: Monday Sept 21 (for 8 sessions)
Time: 6:30-9:30 p.m.
Location: Lucas Centre
Instructor: B. Astells
Course Fee: $185
Discover that with even basic silver smithing techniques it’s possible
to create beautiful jewellery using sterling silver or copper. Practice
and apply techniques like sawing, piercing, soldering, texturing and
riveting. Develop confidence by using these skills to complete several
class projects. Learn and have fun! Most equipment provided, additional
costs of approx $35. for project materials.
If you are a first time student I will ask for a $20.00 supplies fee, which is part of the $35.00 additional cost mentioned. This will cover all the materials, you will require for projects that are part of the course outline. This also takes into account the many hand-outs I have prepared.
Please notice that the class will no longer be held at Carson Graham School. They are doing serious renovations and the shop/metal class is part of that. Don't worry a new home has been found and I think that it will be even better! I'm really excited about holding the classes in what used to be a pottery studio at the Lucas Centre. I also hope to spend some time there before the summer is over making sure it is ready for classes. It will involve some elbow grease so I may be looking for some volunteers. Stay tuned for that.
