Lecture
Join Billy Gauthier for a talk and tour of his exhibition, Beyond Bone. Gauthier is a renowned sculptor of Inuit and Metis ancestry whose inspiration comes directly from an intimate connection with the land and culture of his home in North West River, Labrador. His sculptures are characterized by attention to detail and ability to illustrate stories that advocate for the protection of the environment and traditional Inuit practices. Many of the works in this exhibition are on loan from private collections across the country and will be seen together for the first time! This unique opportunity will conclude with a tour of the exhibition where Gauthier will share personal stories about key works and the inspirations behind them.

Special fabric remnants or scraps of velvet and silk have been delicately crafted into small pillows using the humble straight pin. Since at least the 17th century they have marked courtship, documented weddings, and welcomed the birth of new babies. Bits and bobs of ribbons, beads, sequins were used to adorn these simple cushions.
Join us to create your own special pin pillow, using kits based on historical examples. Choose to commemorate a wedding, anniversary, birthday, or someone you love! We will inspire you with historic patterns from The Rooms collections and crafty examples to elevate your love of making.
