Vessels
Before breaking the rules, you must first understand them. Emerging artist Amelia Ford works within the confines of traditional still life painting–masterfully manipulating oils to capture the shine of an apple, or the folds of bright silk, or light through broken glass–but it’s in the composition of her subjects, rather than the items themselves, where the deeper meaning lies.
Guided Cold War Bunker tours
During the height of the Cold War, in the 1950s and 1960s, nearly 50 bunkers were constructed across Canada. In 2017, the Nelson Museum began work on restoring the space and opening it to the public. You can join a tour of one of the Museumʼs best-loved spaces!
Learn to Make an Axe Block
In this 3 hour workshop I will teach you to make your own axe block that is the perfect working height for you. The axe block is the mini work bench of the carving world. A simple but very functional piece of portable equipment that is necessary for an enjoyable carving experience.
