Join us this summer for a relaxed, creative, and community-focused outdoor arts program designed especially for older adults, their families and friends. The Open Air Crafting Studio offers weekly hands-on sessions featuring projects using accessible and often upcycled materials.
No prior experience is needed. Material, instruction, along with some light snacks & refreshments will be provided for participants.
Here are the projects we’ll be doing this summer:
- Making flowers using crepe paper
- Japanese origami (the art of paper folding)
- Chinese paper cutting
- Paper painting (upcycling flyers, magazine, poster, and scrap paper)
- Painting your own birdhouse
- Making your mini hanging wind chimes
- Decorating your ceramic coasters
Registration is encouraged as the program is highly dependent on the weather and the space limited – please register to receive program-specific updates.
Calling for donations! We are also collecting unused or lightly used crafting material and art supplies. For details, please see Creative Upcycle Program, or email sss.volunteer1@universitysettlement.ca
Open to all individuals aged 55+. Registration is required.
