Okanagan School of the Arts Programs
The following introductory courses are
intended for seniors interested in
creative programs. With a few classes
in November 2014, we will provide
samples of programs that everyone is
invited to attend. Drop in and sign up
for the following courses at 760 Main St
or go to www.osarts.com. Creative For
Life 2015 begins on January 14th with a
Symposium and Open House.
Painting in the Visual Arts Open Studio 1:30 pm to 4 pm, November 24
Join Okanagan School of the Arts’ instructors for these introductory painting sessions
being held in the Visual Arts Studio. You
will be introduced to a variety of different
paints and supplies that will be supplied
to you. Bring your curiousity, interest and
willingness to try something new and bring
clothes that you don’t mind getting permanent paint on because these paints do not
come out.
Creative Living with Milton Orris - 1:30 4 pm, November 28th
Getting Older Isn’t What It Used to Be; It’s
A Whole Lot Better! However that is even
more so if you think about it and plan for it –
and that is what this program is about. We
will explore together the ten major areas of
planning your years from now on – social
connections, where to live, on-going learning, physical activity, working or volunteering, creative activity, travel, family relationships, health and finances. Each topic will
be interactive so you come away with some
good ideas how to make the most of the
years ahead.
CREATIVE FOR LIFE - 2015 (more to
come)
Creative For Life Symposium & Open
House - 1:30 pm, Wednesday, January
14th, 2015
Mark your calendars for this community
event in the Shatford Centre Auditorium.
We are inviting organizations and individuals to bring information to share with ‘people who weren’t born yesterday’. We will
have engaging speakers and presenters,
displays and demonstrations to launch the
2015 Creative For Life Programs. Plan to
attend and invite others!
Pottery Open Studio with Kathleen Murphy - 1:30 pm to 4 pm, November 18 & 25
Kathleen Murphy, Instructor for the Okanagan School of the Arts, will help you get
your hands dirty with clay in the Shatford
Pottery Open Studio. These two classes
will provide you with a small clay treasure
and an idea of what the classes will be like
in 2015.
Pioneers and Places with Randy Manuel1:30 - 4 pm, Thursdays, Nov 20
Historian Randy Manuel will share stories
about the evolution of Penticton through
the last century, showcasing some of the
personalities, incidents and ghost towns.
Randy will answer questions, such as: Why
is the river straight and how was it in the
olden days? Where did the railway travel
through Penticton and why did it stop?
Writing Recollections with Milton Orris 1:30 pm to 4 pm, November 26th
We all have so many “life stories” inside
our minds that are sometimes funny, sometimes sad – yet always interesting. This
program gets you started on writing your
best, most important memories, many of
the ones you want to preserve and share
with family and friends. The time together
begins with a brief lecture on writing, then
a time for you to do some, and finally a
chance to share your stories with others
there. It is a fun and moving experience
as you get to share your stories and have
glimpses of the interesting lives of others.
We Love Documentary Movie
‘Cyber Seniors’
1:30 pm on January 21st, 2015
Bob Nicholson, former CBC journalist, radio
morning show host and TV news anchor
will host this informative series under the
guidance of Director Pepita Ferrari, who will
be selecting movies on a regular basis. The
first movie is ‘Cyber Seniors’ in recognition
of the new Cyber Seniors program that the
Okanagan School of the Arts is developing with
the assistance of youth and the schools in
our community. This is an historic event that
you won’t want to miss.
“T’was indeed a merry
e’en, such a fine feast
and good ale.”
Kitchen maids, Nywyn
Jefferson and Arleen
Bronson became the
first official greeters on
Sept 26, at ‘A Taste For
The Arts’ 2014!
Fun theatre arts will also be part of
the Creative For Life Program!
Finding Your CQ!
We all have one – we just
don’t recognize it! We all
know about IQ and have
a certain idea of where we
might fit – or even have taken
an IQ test and know exactly.
Yet not many of us know
about – or have even heard
about - our CQ! What’s
that? You are now asking.
It is our Creativity Quotient.
Milton Orris
Inside all of us there is a
strong element of creativity – a desire to express
ourselves in a different, perhaps more meaningful
way. Remember when you were just a child – and you
had more fun creatively making tunnels and buildings
from the empty boxes the Christmas presents came
in than you had playing with the new toys. And
how many movies or plays have you seen that you
wished you had acted in. What about singing along,
playing an instrument – for instance the drums - or
painting, making pottery. And all those poems and
stories dwelling inside you have always wanted to be
put down on paper
That’s not all that creativity is about though. How
about parts of the world you have always wanted to
visit? You have always wanted to go to China, visit
the Artic before all the ice is gone, visit the Vatican or
Machu Pichu, or even bicycle across Canada, at least
part way. Take part in controversial conversations about
politics, religion, or books you have read. There are
many more unfulfilled creative wishes within us - we
just don’t give them a chance to emerge.
What is stopping us? Often it is fear that we can’t
paint or make pottery well enough, we can’t write
well enough to tell our stories, or can’t afford to
travel. Our fears are groundless – the only thing
stopping us from being the creative people we can
become is the wrong stories we keep in our minds
– “people would make fun of me or what I do”, “the
outcome of what I try will be awful”, “my family will
think I have gone crazy”. “What if my attempt is a
failure”? What is the answer to all these?
As you have heard many times – life is a journey –
and so is creativity. It’s like running a marathon - it
doesn’t matter if you win – it matters if you finish, or
do better than last time. And that is what creativity
is all about – it is in the doing – and as time goes by
– yes, it does get better and better, more fun, more
fulfilling.
If we don’t explore our creative desires, intuitions,
and secret longings - we will not have lived life fully.
And as we get older and don’t do creative things –
life becomes more and more boring and often leads
to depression and an early demise.
How do you get started? Sit quietly and just think
about it – let your imagination run wild for a while.
What is your heart and mind telling you? “I have
always wanted to be in a play”. “I would really like to
become a great nature photographer and do a documentary of my grandchildren as they grow up”. “It
would be fun to do pottery and make presents for all my
family for Christmas”. The list might be endless – then
you decide – which ones do I really want to do. A
suggestion – limit it to three then do some research
to see what is available, when, where and how much
will it cost. Then go and talk to people – others taking
the program and/or the teachers – then make the
choice that feels just right FOR YOU!
So turn on the CQ within you – and enjoy the richly
fulfilling, pleasurable and personal journey it will take
you on.
OSA Director, Milton Orris, chairs the Okanagan
School of the Arts’ Program Committee. Launching
of the Creative For Life Program is a high priority to
get rolling this year for OSA and Milton!

FELT & FIBRE WITH FIONA & KATIA
Fiona Duthie
Fiona Duthie is a fibre artist based on
Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.
She first encountered feltmaking in 1996
and it immediately became her medium
and passion. Raw wools, shibori shaping and dyeing, resist shaping and dyeing, stitches, prefelts, layering, embedding, carving… she explores the world
through surface design in feltmaking.
Fiona has exhibited her work in Canada,
the US, New Zealand and the UK and
completed her popular courses at OSA
in Novemember. www.fionaduthie.com
Katia Mokeyeva creates a unique line of
art wearable under her label, Feuer Und
Waster, in her studio in San Francisco,
California. She is shortlisted this year for
an American Craft Council Niche Award
for excellence in quality and design.
The wilderness is the main source of
inspiration in Katia's designs, and the
organic connection in humanity's symbiosis with nature. Her latest ideas
celebrate the vast variety of colors and
textures of natural objects.

Katia Mokeyeva
Katia and Fiona are feltmakers deeply inspired by their natural environments and the impact that environment has on us, personally and creatively. From this common inspiration they follow very different creative paths, using their own patterns, designs, colourings, and felting methods to communicate
their individual narratives. Both artists use clothing and accessories as the canvas, creating wearable
art pieces of the highest quality that are one of a kind, visually stimulating, embedded with meaning,
and highly wearable. When they met at the MidWest Felting Symposium in 2014, it was a meeting
of kindred spirits, and the idea of working together to create a unique and beautiful workshop experience developed. They are honoured and delighted to bring this Felt in Fashion experience to the
Shatford Centre in April 2015. The workshop program is designed so that students can take classes
from both teachers, mixing and matching the classes that provide a broad range of skills and ideas,
while creating highly complementary garments and accessories.
Our first workshops with Fiona Duthie were outstanding successes with very pleased students. When we
announced that Fiona will be returning with her colleague, Katia Mokeyeva, in April, everyone wanted to
sign up. These students have the first option so when the courses are available, we suggest that you sign
up quickly to avoid disappointment. Go to www.osarts.com for details regularly or get on the waiting list.

Be inspired as a painter amidst colourful orchards, vineyards
and historical buildings in this painters' paradise. This fun intensive workshop offers an opportunity to engage in the painting process in interactive ways that will nourish and stimulate
the imagination to create authentic and original art.
Lori teaches painting on guided tours to Italy and Bali besides
teaching at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. A regular
instructor at the Okanagan School of the Arts, Lori was enthusiastic
about the idea of capturing the beauty of the Village of Naramata
on the east side of Okanagan Lake, minutes from Penticton.
