Looking for a fun and family-friendly activity on a Saturday afternoon? Visit the Gallery for Crafternoon in our Creativity Centre. This month we are excited to feature artist Lauren Kurmey, our upcoming Shop Feature Artist! 

Lauren will lead participants through a drawing workshop, demonstrating how to capture animal characteristics in art. Using local animals, participants will learn how to recognize and recreate the features of our familiar Lethbridge friends! The workshop is appropriate for all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re a confident drawer or interested in developing a new skill, this workshop is for you! 

We will be hosting two sessions, one from 1 - 2:30 PM and one from 2:30 - 4:00 PM. This program is free with Gallery admission and all supplies are provided. Attendees are welcome to bring their own materials and sketchbooks if preferred, including digital drawing materials. Registration is encouraged. You can register by contacting Program & Event Coordinator Heather Kehoe hkehoe@saag.ca or in person at the desk. You can also sign up on the day. Please ensure you arrive on time for the beginning of your session. 

Lauren Kurmey is a self-taught artist who draws, crafts, and infuses good vibes into all this cool stuff! She’d been drawing, saying hi to wildlife, and sitting too close to the screen since childhood, putting her heart and soul into her products. Sharing them with like-minded people is a dream come true. From familiar nature friends to anime & video game favourites, her work invites you to surround yourself with the things you love, so you can feel comfy, cozy, and completely at home in your space.
