The Art of PAPERMAKING
2026-07-22 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Vancouver) | Open Space, 33765 Essendene Avenue #110, Abbotsford, BC V2S 2H1, Abbotsford, V2S 2H1, CA
Papermaking Workshop with K. Joan Marr

Join us for a two part paper-making course, where you will learn all the basics of papermaking – from cotton and rice fiber to a final cast piece of art.
6 hours total, $75
July 22, 6pm – 9pm
July 29, 6pm – 9pm
Joan’s extensive papermaking knowledge and practice makes her an invaluable teacher and guide for your papermaking journey. In this course, she will be instructing in the best fibers to use, how to source them, the process of creating a fiber/water ‘slurry’, using a screen to extract the fiber and process it into sheets of handmade paper.
You will have the opportunity to mold and carve the paper, and get direction on how to decorate this paper at a later date.
Joan will be joined by Susannah White, currently completing her Masters in Fine Art, who will demonstrate how to make and work with pigments from different sources in nature.
After studying at Capilano University Studio Art Program (1990, North Vancouver) and Montague LeBlanc School of Art (1988, France), Joan works with strong form and color with handmade, acid-free natural fibre paper from very small to very large colourful artworks.
Paper fiber, Frames and Screens will be supplied.
For the first class, please bring:

7 complete newspapers for drainage
A large baking sheet to transport your project home
14″ x 14″ cotton sheeting, 3 or 4 pieces (must be cotton)

Form and Space: Hits, Covers, and well-loved music
2026-07-22 19:30 - 21:30 (America/Vancouver) | Jubilee Hall – 7989 Bradner Rd, 7989 Bradner Road, Abbotsford, BC V4X 2B6, Abbotsford, V4X 2B6, CA
A special play based edition of F & S featuring greatest hits, covers, and well loved songs. You're invited to wear something playful too.

Hosted by psychologist Hillary McBride, this event is about creating the space to step outside of the ways of being a body that are structured, familiar, and prescribed, to tune into our bodily voice, and practice moving in a way that feels authentic, giving unexplored or unexpressed places inside of us form through our movement and words. When what is inside of us moves into the space around us, we can begin to encounter more space inside while also giving it form.
The two hours will be comprised of free movement (ecstatic dance), writing, and group sharing. For those of you new to free movement, the purpose of this is choice and bodily autonomy while engaging with movement to play, express, and experience your bodily wisdom. You get to choose how you want to move your body. If that means laying down and listening to the music, connecting to your wild self, or waltzing your inner critic back and forth, all of it is just as it just as it should be. This is a space for you to practice moving how you want to move, and then have time to write and verbally integrate the experiences you have. Writing and dialogue prompts for integration will be offered.
As this is a special edition of Form and Space featuring HITS, COVERS, and WELL-LOVED SONGS, feel free to dress the part. Want to wear that costume in the back of your closet? DO IT! The bridesmaide dress that you haven’t pulled out ever again? YES! The 80s workout gear, or tye-died something- or other? PLEASE DO.
Please bring some water, your journal and a pen, and wear loose clothing to move in with layers to remove as you warm up. We will be moving with shoes off. Space is wheelchair accessible. All bodies welcome.
Some tickets will be available for cash at the door, and if finances are an issue please let us know so we can find a way to include you. Refunds will be unavailable after 24 hours before the event begins.
