Join us at our new yarn club!

Knitters, crocheters, needle workers, rug hookers – all are welcome to socialize with fellow yarn crafters and work on their latest project.

Drop-in program.

Create an original artwork with professional artist Stephanie Browness. Get step by step instructions in real time as you create your own version of a pre-planned "Fall Flowers" themed acrylic on canvas work of art. All experience levels welcome. All supplies provided! Registration required - spaces are limited. 

Stephanie Browness is a painter and art instructor who has been teaching in Ottawa for 20 years. She has worked with all age groups and firmly believes that anyone can make art. Stephanie holds a BFA in fine arts from the University of Ottawa and Master's in art history from Carleton University. 

With special thanks for the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association (FOPLA) for generously funding this Ruth E. Dickinson branch program.

Create art in good company. 

This series is perfect for aspiring artists, crafters who are in a rut, and anyone who suspects that a creative habit would be good for their soul. 

We will explore our creativity using art prompts from Creativebug.

All supplies will be provided.

Got a portable craft project? Bring it along and chat with some fellow crafters while you work! Share your expertise if you're comfortable, and learn about what other folks are working on (or just make friends and bond over your latest tv show obsession)! Knitting, crochet, embroidery, felting, beading, and more.
