Whether you're an experienced artist or simply looking to try something new, this workshop offers a relaxed space to explore creativity, connect with others, and create something uniquely your own.

All materials will be provided, but we welcome participants to bring their own photos, magazines, fabric, paper scraps, or any other items they'd like to incorporate into their project.

🕢Friday, June 19th, 4pm-6pm
📍 22 Fielding Avenue, Dartmouth

As with all Life.School.House workshops, participation is offered through a barter model rather than a registration fee. Participants are invited to bring a thoughtful barter item to thank the facilitator for sharing their time, creativity, and knowledge.

Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot today!

Supporting a social enterprise café like New Leaf Café means investing in more than just great coffee and food — it means investing in people and community. Social enterprises create meaningful employment opportunities, build confidence and skills, and help remove barriers for individuals who may face challenges finding traditional employment. Every purchase helps support inclusive programming, personal growth, and a stronger, more connected community.

🇮🇹 Good food, great company, and a little taste of Italy! 🍋

What a wonderful evening at our very first Shared Table event!

Guests started the evening in the kitchen, rolling up their sleeves to prepare homemade focaccia with their toppings of choice and making delicious tiramisu before heading into the café for an evening full of laughter, learning, and incredible food.

From fresh pasta and warm focaccia to creamy tiramisu, every part of the evening was delicious. Along the way, we learned a little about Italy, shared stories, and enjoyed plenty of laughter and great conversation.

Thank you so much to Gretchen and Abi for hosting such a fun and welcoming evening for everyone.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make our first Shared Table such a success. Stay tuned for the next one… we can’t wait to gather again!
