SUMMARY:Port Coquitlam Song Writers Group - Drop In
DESCRIPTION:Connect with local songwriters\, share your songs\, collaborate on new ideas & get inspired at this creative drop-in session in Poco!\n\n\n\nPort Coquitlam Song Writers Group – Drop In\nLooking to share your tunes or get inspired? Join the Port Coquitlam Song Writers Group for a chill\, in-person session! Whether you’re polishing lyrics or just getting the creative juices flowing\, this drop-in event is all about creativity and good vibes. Bring your passion for songwriting. Everyone’s welcome—no pressure\, just fun and music. Come hang out and connect with fellow songwriters in the community! \nThe Port Coquitlam Songwriters Group aims to support writers at all stages\, from first-time participants to those continuing to develop their songwriting practice. The group remains in a drop-in format \, and no previous experience or attendance is required. \nTwo optional creative pathways will be offered allowing participants to choose the approach that best fits where they are in their writing journey. \nFor first-time writers or those looking for structure\, we will focus on writing with focus on our senses. Using guided prompts\, participants will explore sight\, sound\, touch\, taste\, and smell as entry points into lyric writing. \nFor participants who are more experienced or curious about writing to music\, the second pathway will explore writing lyrics to music without trying to make the words fit within the music. Writers may bring instrumental tracks\, chord progressions\, or simple melodies to share but otherwise we will have a few simple instrumental tracks to choose from. This exercise is one that we are hoping will be a organic no pressure way to let inspired lyrics flow. \nThe session will include: \n\nA check-in and\nGuided sensory-based writing exercises\nTime to write alongside music in an open\, pressure-free way\nOptional sharing and supportive reflection\n\nSharing is always optional\, and listening is considered full participation. \nThis workshop is ideal for anyone interested in experimenting with new approaches\, deepening emotional connection in their writing\, or simply creating in a supportive community space. All voices and experience levels are welcome.

SUMMARY:Paint & Play: Tiles & Coasters
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to unleash your creativity in this fun\, hands-on ceramics workshop! \nYou’ll transform plain ceramic tiles into one-of-a-kind artworks using underglazes\, brush techniques\, and playful designs. Choose to create decorative tiles\, a mini wall art set\, or functional coasters—perfect for gifts or brightening up your own space. You can choose between 4tiles of 4.25″ x 4.25″ or 2 tiles of 6″ x 6″. Instructors will guide you step by step\, showing you how to experiment with colors\, patterns\, and textures while adding your personal touches. \nWhether you make a set of small tiles\, larger statement pieces\, or a ribbon-wrapped coaster set\, you’ll leave with unique\, functional ceramics that are as beautiful as they are personal. Bring your imagination and have fun turning clay into art! Due to the kiln-firing process\, finished mugs will be ready for pickup approximately 3–4 weeks after the workshop. \nAbout the Instructor \nDasha Berezhnova is a multimedia artist who picked up ceramics in 2020\, and never looked back. She loves to bring whimsy to wheel-thrown and hand-build forms by incorporating sculptural elements\, cheeky details\, and bright colours. She approaches art-making in a lighthearted and experimental way\, and enjoys helping students find their unique artistic voice\, develop their confidence\, and have fun!
