Upcoming Classes

Education is an important aspect of the Kamloops Arts and Crafts Club; this may be impromptu sessions as artisans gather or formal classes sponsored by the club.

Painting and fibre arts may offer classes and workshops throughout the year while Pottery classes are typically offered in the spring and fall.

Classes are posted on this page only when they are being offered and registration is open. Registration typically runs for one week, with details shared here and on our social media channels.
