SUMMARY:Tiny Art After Dark
DESCRIPTION:The Tiny Ass Art Gallery is opening its doors in St. Jacobs on Thursday\, April 30 and we want to throw a party just across the street to celebrate!  Our party can’t happen at our actual gallery because it would be the tiniest party ever.

Join us from 7 – 10 pm at Block 3 Brewing in St. Jacobs and enjoy an evening filled with tiny art reveals\, surprises and disruptions\, micro entertainment and more.  We want to celebrate with you\, so let us bring the fun to you!  This means that we are choreographing this night so that you don’t have to do any work. Just show up and let us draw you into our Tiny Ass World! Details to Note: Doors open at 7:00 PM  and the fun starts at  7:30 PM.There will be some nibbles to enjoy and a cash bar (mostly beer\, a bit of cider\, one red and one white).Block 3 Brewing is not wheelchair accessible. There is parking right at Block 3 Brewing for the earliest birds\, but when that fills up\, you can find more parking close by on King Street or around the corner at the large Albert Street public parking lot.

SUMMARY:Intuitive Doodling
DESCRIPTION:  In this 2-hour workshop with Claudia Lambert\, participants will explore intuitive doodling/art on watercolour paper\, using flowing ink lines and watercolour washes.  Through gentle instruction and reflective pauses\, you’ll create organic forms that mirror the mind’s natural pattern-making\, supporting integration between cognitive awareness and emotional experience. No art experience is needed—only curiosity and openness. This practice is meditative rather than technical: repetitive line\, colour blending\, and mindful attention invite calm\, reduce mental noise\, and help surface and transform emotions in a safe\, nonverbal way. The lines may be tiny\, but the room to breathe enormous! You’ll leave with a finished artwork and a simple process you can return to for self-regulation and creative renewal.    This workshop is one of eight in the Making it Tiny Workshops Series by the new Tiny Ass Art Gallery in St. Jacobs. Tiny Ass Art Gallery is a collective of local women artists where art focusses on the idea of tiny in all aspects. Details to Note: Located at Neruda Arts in St. Jacobs. You’ll receive an email 1 week prior to your workshop regarding directions and parking. Wheelchair accessible via elevator. For ages 12 years +. Maximum of 15 spaces. All supplies are provided.
