Bring your old clothing, bags, accessories, ect. and swap it for new shwag in a giant wonderful clothing pile. Then, learn how to alter clothes to fit better, and various ways to hybrid items together to make your own customized clothing. Hand-sew, no-sew and machine sewing techniques to be shared.
FREE! Donations for the skillshare always accepted.

–> October 30 — Photograph Developping in Ste. Emilie’s Darkroom 101
Surprise!  Ste. Emilie has a fully functional black and white darkroom!  If you have some black and white film that’s been kicking around that you want to print into arty photographs that will impress your friends, this is your chance to learn how to do this at your local Ste. Emilie Skillshare.  Learn basic film-developing and photo-developing – bring some negatives if you have any.
Suggested donation $5-10

–> November 6 — Basic Silkscreening

–> Sunday, November 7 — Play Piercing 101
Play piercing is piercing for the pure fun of it! Learn basic sterility and proper technique for play piercing. No experience is required and no one is required to pierce anyone or be pierced. There will be a demonstration on a model and opportunity to ask questions, play pierce and be pierced (if you want!). All that’s required is an open mind and a good attitude – all other equipment will be provided.
Suggested donation $5-10

–> November 13 — Intro To Personalizing Your Gear
The aim of this workshop is to bring you round to surprising yourself at discovering just how amazingly well you could learn to do something as seemingly complicated and intimidating as a sewing project, and the way to do this is to have total fun by making something with your imagination that you would never find anywhere, and don’t worry if you haven’t a clear idea to start, the drug that is the Cat & Bones place can help with this too!
Recommended simple projects could be a cheeky little home decor item such like a pair of pillow cases, curtains maybe or a table linen set… or transforming your fave-jeans/T-shirt/hoody into something personal-sensational with patches!
We do have a tiny assortment of interesting fabrics floating around but would suggest that if you have something particular in mind you might want to bring your own for your project.

… and yes, we already have ideas for a second level workshop to follow, …
Suggested donation $8-12

–> November 20 — Sculpt This!
Bring an old shoe, or a box, or a bike seat, or a book.. or any other object that means something to you or inspires you.
it might look like junk… but we know better.
we”ll recycle, revitalize, rejuvenate, re-inspire.. we’ll make art: RE-ART
you don’t need any previous experience, skills or materials.
(but if you do have pliers, heavy duty scissors, glue gun, yarn, scraps of wood, etc.. bring ‘em)
donations to the st-emilie skillshare are always welcome

–>November 27 — Active Listening
Active listening is a way of consciously and attentively listening when someone is speaking. It is a non-directional, non-judgmental way of understand others while letting them know that they are being heard. When working in community, communicating with your partner(s) and supporting your friends, active listening can be a crucial skill to cultivate.
Suggested donation $5-10

–> December 4 — Basic Silkscreening
