Speaker Series-Wayne Wilson

For our November Speaker Series, we are lucky to host Wayne Wilson on November 19th, from 6:30 pm.

For hundreds of years, travellers have been recording their journeys - written about them, painted them, sketched them, scrap-booked them, and more. These informal accounts often capture the 'essence of place'. They record the sights and sounds and tastes and smells of distinct places in time.

Your travels are just as important! This brief workshop/talk will help you see the value of your travels in a whole new light. In the end, you will have a list of materials and you will have a whole new appreciation for the value of what you see when you travel.
