Come join us for our first outdoor Crafternoon of the year! We will have terra cotta pots to paint, all the supplies you need to paint them, as well as plant starts from Satinflower Nurseries and soil to fill your pot. There will also be warm drinks and snacks. And River and Ardeo will be there to answer any gardening questions you have!
Weather in April can be extra unpredictable. While we will have tents if it's rainy, we can also hand over supplies for you to take home if it's too cold for you to be outside. But no kit sign up this month or need to RSVP. Just show up :)
Finally, as always, you're welcome to bring your own craft or just hang out. This is a free, drop-in event for all ages.
OTHER EVENT INFO
---PARK INFO - We will be in Oaklands Park, near the playground off of Ryan at Shakespeare. The park has free parking on Kings Rd and Ryan, a few bike racks, and a wide paved pathway. We will be on the grass, but will bring at least 3 chairs if people need to be sitting in a chair. We have a small variety of chair options, all with a maximum weight rating of 300 pounds. If there is a rain in the forecast, we will bring a 10x10 awning to help keep the rain off. The park has gendered accessible public bathrooms on site. There is an all-genders bathroom at Koffi on Haultain and we can provide change so you can buy a drink and use that bathroom instead if you'd like. If you can't find us, message the page!
RESPIRATORY DISEASE INFO (E.G., COVID) - Please do not come if you have any symptoms of COVID or other contagious diseases or you have recently been in contact with someone who has displayed symptoms. We will practice some general physical distancing. If you're comfy being closer than 6 feet with people outside your social circle, we ask you check with them first. We will have hand sanitizer available for you to use before accessing food. Supplies will be shared. The facilitators aren't planning on wearing masks outside and they are optional for participants.
FOOD INFO - We will make sure to have some snacks that are gluten-free and vegan, and nothing will have peanuts. If you have specific allergies or sensitivities, please let us know.
EXTRA SUPPLIES - We will have band-aids, naloxone, sun screen, hand sanitizer, medical masks and bus tickets to take.
Before coming, please check over our community agreement, which we can adjust together as needed. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AJBVF_lMiOGJ8j7jmpaURxki_0oKh7QiAR9OVUe7sbw/edit

These events will be taking place on the traditional and unceded territories of the Lkwungen speaking peoples of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations and the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We would like to acknowledge the rich and vibrant artistic practices of the Coast Salish Nations as well as those across Turtle Island that, along with their people, have faced persecution and attempted destruction by forces of colonization both past and present. Great honour and respect to the generations that have worked to keep these traditions alive, and to all those contributing to their revitalization today.
