SUMMARY:Exhibit: Broken Promises
DESCRIPTION:The Courtenay and District Museum is pleased to present the travelling exhibition Broken Promises from the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre. \nGrounded in research from Landscapes of Injustice – a 7 year multi-disciplinary\, multi-institutional\, community engaged project\, this exhibit explores the dispossession of Japanese Canadians in the 1940s. It illuminates the loss of home and the struggle for justice of one racially marginalized community. The story unfolds by following seven narrators that include Eikichi Kagetsu of Fanny Bay and Hiroshi Okuda from Cumberland. Learn about life for Japanese Canadians in Canada before war\, the administration of their lives during and after war ends\, and how legacies of dispossession continue to this day. \nThank you to the Landscapes of Injustice Partner Institutions and the Government of Canada. \nSchool classes are welcome to visit this exhibit. Please arrange a time by contacting the museum at 250-334-0686 ext 2\, or by emailing us. Provide the grade level and number of people in the group. The visit is included with your general admission fee. The Landscapes of Injustice website affiliated with the exhibit offers interactive resources and lessons for both elementary and secondary students.

SUMMARY:Bag Making With Lorraine
DESCRIPTION:May 2 – May 16 \nJoin Lorraine for this great bag-making class! \nYou will use the Traverse Bag by Noodlehead Patterns\, with a small modification to make it even more beginner-friendly. \nChoose from two sizes! \nThis class is a great way to keep practicing those straight lines\, sewing zippers\, and making accurate measurements and cuts. You’ll learn how to use bag patterns\, rotary cutters\, and hardware. \nFor your convenience\, we have included all the hardware\, straps\, zippers (with a few colours to choose from) and interfacing\, so all you need to buy is your fabric. Use a lovely canvas or even a linen! \nThe only prerequisite: Basic knowledge of the sewing machine (Foundations\, Get to Know your sewing machine class or Fundamentals are a great start.). If you are still beginner\, Lorraine can help set up your machine\, but there isn’t time to explain how to thread the machine\, in order to keep the class focused on bag making!

SUMMARY:Slow Stich Series
DESCRIPTION:May 2 – May 23 \nIf you find yourself seeking a chance to slow down\, to deepen your relationship with your garments and with your self\, this 3-4 week series is an opportunity to do just that. \nJoin costume maker and artist Lori Kenney for a deep breath and many small stitches. \nThe practical side of this course is one of basic sewing skills many of us are missing\, taking care of our clothes to make our wardrobe last longer. \nThe artistic side of this course will help you add character and understand traditional textile art practices from around the world\, connecting you to the way humans have worked with fibres through history. \nThe meditative elements of this series will help you slow down\, connect to your breathing and the rhythm of stitching. \nTake inspiration from global textile traditions such as Kantha\ntechniques\, mending and darning\, and Japanese Boro\, which focuses on re-purposing old textiles\, re-piecing fabrics and building texture with stitch. Bring awareness to the calming repetition of hand stitch rhythms and discover the simple pleasure of making. \nThere will be time in this class for connection with each other\, and portions of silence and breath. \nThe goal is to leave this series with a set of skills and abilities you can carry with you to calm your heart in times of need. \nPlease bring some worn and loved garments\, as well as any scraps you would like to incorporate.  \nWe will include materials to use\, and have additional supplies available for purchase to bring home.
