Perennial Plant Exchage

Thanks for all who came out to our 12th Annual NMPAC Perennial Plant exchage this past Sunday morning. The cooler weather didn't put a damper on the fun of this yearly sign of spring at the Arts Centre.

Cathy Terepocki Workshop

The Ceramics Studio at North Mount Pleasant Arts Centre recently hosted a two day workshop by Cathy Terepocki. The workshop focused on printing techniques on clay in its various stages, and there was no shortage of great ideas.

Thank-you to Cathy for being so generous with her time and knowledge.
