August 11 – West Coast Creatives Salon

News

West Coast Creative Salon
August 11
Braid Studios
3rd Floor, 321 6th St

We are delighted to have West Coast Creative Salon in the Studio again this month.  Come and share your art or art that inspires you! @westcoastcreativessalon meetups are informal discussions. Some creatives bring works in-progress (of any kind or degree of completion) to share and discuss. Sometimes people bring pre-existing works that have had a significant impact on them.

WCCS are a diverse and multidisciplinary artistic community in British Columbia’s lower mainland. They’d love to see your work at the next West Coast Creative’s Salon!

This month’s first presenter is Miya, who is going to speak about architecture that inspires her. She says: “Architecture is an unavoidable art and science that surrounds us in daily life. Join us as we explore architecture from all over the world as a source of inspiration within our artistic practices and admire the elements found within, contemplating how to incorporate them into our own works.”

Today, our artists gathered in the studio to start creating something special for the upcoming @nwculturalcrawl 

Eyes. Lots and lots of eyes. 👀

Painted, peculiar, colourful and completely individual — they’ll soon be appearing in our windows and outside the building as Braid gets ready for Cultural Crawl weekend.

A huge thank you to the artists who came out today, picked up a paintbrush and helped bring this slightly bonkers idea to life. We cannot wait to see what it looks like when they’re all together.

Many of you knew Carla Thompson. Carla had a rema Many of you knew Carla Thompson.

Carla had a remarkable gift for helping people feel seen, supported, and capable. Whether she was teaching a new skill, helping someone untangle their finances, offering accountability through body doubling, or quietly working behind the scenes to make things run smoothly, she brought kindness and patience to everything she did.

You may have known Carla through Braid Studios, the Decide Your Life Community with @georgeelow , her Holistic Bookkeeper business, her work with the Dot community or her Books & Brew sessions. 

Carla first came to Braid Studios as a crochet instructor, but over the years she became so much more than a teacher. She served as our Paint Night Manager, Wedding & Events Manager, administrator, bookkeeper, trusted advisor, and dear friend. Even after moving to Vancouver Island during Covid, Carla remained an important part of the Braid community. For me, as owner of Braid, Carla was my right-hand person and one of my closest friends. For many others, she was a mentor, cheerleader, problem solver, and steady source of support.

Her impact reached far beyond any one business or community and the kindness she brought to each of them was always the same.

On June 27, I want to invite friends, family, artists, colleagues, clients, students, and community members to join us as we share stories and memories of this beautiful woman who touched so many lives. ~ Susan

A doll created especially for a woman who embraces Mexican culture as her own. Her home and her memories are filled with afternoons wandering the streets of Oaxaca.

Getting to know her is a true pleasure, and creating a doll inspired by her has been a great honor.
