about date nights

Since its start in February 2022, our monthly CityScape Date Night series has been a creative journey like no other. Each month, we explore a wide range of artistic mediums, from acrylics and watercolors to upcycling, creative writing, Gelli printing, and drawing. Recently, we’ve added exciting workshops like found object art and memory box creation, making sure there’s always something fresh and inspiring to try. Whether you want to rediscover your artistic side or try something completely new, each Date Night promises a fresh creative experience for couples and friends alike.

ABOUT Anna’s Date Night

Join us for our Needle Felting Date Night with our very own Executive Director Anna Lynch. When she’s not at the office, you can find her exploring the great outdoors, or creating textile artwork at home.

In this 2-hour workshop, Anna will guide you through the basics of needle felting, everything you need to begin (and continue!) your felting journey. You’ll learn the core techniques while creating a small project of your choice: an ornament, fridge magnet, or keychain. With the winter holidays approaching, you can dive into the festive spirit or draw inspiration from your own interests.

Perfect to keep or gift to someone special!

All materials are included, but you’re welcome to bring your own favourite colours of wool roving if you’d like.
