The Moose Jaw and District Senior Citizen’s Association (MJDSCA) will be hosting an upcoming dreamcatcher workshop on Tuesday, Feb. 6 and Wednesday, Feb. 7 in the association’s art room. Led by instructor Joy Strueby, the course includes easy-to-follow directions and provides a social outing for adults over the age of 55.
The course will start at 1 p.m. on each respective date and is expected to run until 3 p.m.
MJDSCA members and non-members are both welcome, and this is the first time a dreamcatcher workshop has been held at the association specifically. The purpose of the event, according to Strueby’s assistant who did not wish to be named, is simply to get out and have fun.
To create the dreamcatchers, the materials will first be hand-made by participants and then stretched over a provided metal ring. There is no weaving component for this specific class.
Most of the materials needed for the craft will be supplied by the organization. This includes a selection of doilies, some rings, feathers, beads, and similar elements.
Participants are welcome to bring some of their own supplies to the course. A metal ring will provide structure for the dreamcatcher, and if a participant wishes to select their own size of ring, these can be purchased from Your Dollar Store with More next to Sobey’s Liquor. Acceptable ring sizes range from a two-inch diameter to any other size available at the store.
Guests are invited to bring their own special doilies or other keepsake items to include in the craft, and the completed dreamcatcher could provide a perfect custom gift for a loved one.
The cost for the course is $2 for members of the MJDSCA and $5 for non-members. Course fees can be paid in person at the start of each class.
A sign-up sheet is available at the Timothy Eaton Gardens’ main desk. For more information or to sign up for the course, the association can be reached at 306-694-4224.
The event will take place in the art room at the Timothy Eaton Gardens, located at 510 Main Street North.
