Maker Monday: Sydney Rose

May 14, 2018 |

In case you missed it – last week we launched our Maker Monday series and shared an interview with textile artist Gillian Schultze. Today we spoke with visual artist Sydney Rose. Sydney creates primarily collages that tell stories of human behaviours and habits. Most recently, she was featured in a mini-doc on CBC Arts where she talked about her art and creative process. Tell us a bit about your art. My art is playful. It’s surreal yet familiar. It asks questions and tells stories of who and what we are as human beings – our behaviours, beliefs, histories and...

PlaySmelter Readings: Storytold Strikes

May 04, 2018 |

Storytold Strikes By Rick Duthie Sudbury Strike Stories is a site-specific historical play that focusses on the postwar incidences of strikes in Sudbury, Ontario.

Put simply, the story is told through exchanges of memories, chronologically in time, beginning in the Great Depression and ending in 2018.

ESSENTIAL OILS AND HOW TO USE THEM

April 20, 2018 |

Let’s start with the basics: what is an essential oil? For those of you who are not aware an essential oil is the concentrated natural oils found in plants extracted through a distillation process. What might this be used for? The list of things I use my essential oils for is never ending. Some examples are: room fresheners, steaming my floors, cleaning my counter tops, laundry, mouth wash, baths, topical treatments, and bug spray. Essential oils are a big part of my life and were integrated into my lifestyle years ago before I even had much knowledge on them....
