Art Sessions in the summer

Registration is open for summer arts workshops at Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts at Pearson College! This year we are offering 34, 2 and 5 day workshops for adults, and 3 residency opportunities. This years course offerings include many workshops in ceramics, fibre arts, drawing, painting, sculpture, writing, printing and design, with students and faculty travelling form around the world to attend, and many returning alumni looking forward to seeing their MISSA community. Maybe you know someone who would be intersted in attending? missa.ca/workshops

Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts – ‘MISSA’ was founded in 1984 at Pearson College by 5 local artists, Robin Hopper (ceramics), Carole Sabiston (fibre arts), Cheryl Samuel (weaving), Flemming Jorgensen (painting), and Rona Murray (writing).  In the first year’s program there were 5 classes and 53 students. Since that time our program has flourished, and this year we anticipate over 300 students. There are accommodations on campus, including breakfast and dinner, and the workshop fees include lunch. Pearson College is an ideal location for our creative community to gather, learn and enjoy meeting new old friends. Everyone is excited for the home coming to Pearson College this year!

The program relies on volunteer support form the local community to help with setting up, packing up, welcoming students and extra support at evening events, please get in touch if you are interested in volunteering.
