Youth and Sewing Club - Last touches on the Bunting Flags

On Saturday June 3rd Some of the Youth from Killarney helped to cut more triangles, iron and pin them onto the bias tape. We brought in EartHand's artist Rebecca to help us with the big banner and finish some more bunting flags. Here is a few photos of us hard at work.

On June 7th the Seniors Sewing group helped the project by sewing all the triangles that the children painted from the After School kids club with Kitty. Also they made us more bias tape for the project. All the triangles that we made with the youth also were pinned onto the bias tape they made and they sewed all the strips so that we could hang them in the lobby.

They had 5 sewing machines on the go at once and all the beautiful flags are now ready for hanging.

Bunting Flags in Killarney Community Centre

With summer just around the corner we hung the flags in the lobby of Killarney Community Centre this week. The Summer Art Carnivale will be on July 8th and all the bunting flags will be on the field, but until then we can enjoy them in the centre. They are so colourful and fun, they look magical!! As the children were coming out of preschool they started to notice and were excited. Here is the hallway in the lobby looking all festive. Thank you to everyone that participated. We completed 4 long bunting flags of 10m and then there are some smaller lengths for the day of the event, and we are still sewing! See you at the Carnivale! Above is a photo of the first bunting flag we made 10m long with the old parachute fabric, and below is the long flag banner that we made also with the parachute fabric. The beautiful poster is ready for the Summer Art Carnivale. You will also see it on the front of the Summer 2017 program guide.

Joe Chatsis Cree Hooping Dancer and The Culture Saves Lives Pow Wow Drummers

Joe Chatsis performing a hooping dance. Here is 13 hoops in a formation of a bird. Johnny Sam and the Culture Saves Lives Pow Wow Drummers getting warmed up with their first song. After going through the hoops and weaving in and out Joe created these globes with the hoops. What a talent to share with us. Thank you Joe! With Killarney pool in the background Joe is using the hoops and his body to create formations. We were applauding Joe's Hooping Dance and then the Pow Wow Drummers said one more song... Joe led us in one last dance called "the friendship circle" where we all held hand and stepped with our right foot and did a small jump and shuffled our left foot. We got pretty good momentum and staff and board members joined in too. It was a lovely way to end the outdoor event. We were all tired from the heat but had a fun time together. Thank you for coming to the Art Carnivale and making it a special day at Killarn
