The Okanagan School of the Arts is a year-round entrepreneurial creativity centre and des-tination art school. It is located in the heart of the City of Penticton, on the Pen High Campus. Shatford Centre’s story has a life of its own, with Phase I, the restoration of the building, complet-ing on March 31st, 2011. Phase II has been the enhancement and updating of the classrooms, studios, offices and auditorium.

Phase III is the Shatford Community Learn-ing Kitchen Project, fundraising in partnership with the Penticton Rotary Club. This kitchen will be the ‘crown jewel’ in a community treasure of a building. Go to www.shatfordcentre.com for a donation package.

Another project, currently in planning phases, is the Shatford Commons, which is the enhance-ment of the grounds that measure approximately 2 acres. There are plans for a food forest dem-onstration garden, community gathering spaces, sculpture gardens and much more! We hope that you are able to visit and engage with the Shatford Centre ~ Okanagan School of the Arts, perhaps through taking a workshop, browsing through the exhibitions or coming to a performance. Whichever way you connect, we hope that it is a rewarding and satisfying experience!The SHATFORD CHRONICLES is a publication of the Shatford Centre ~ Okanagan School of the Arts, 760 Main Street, Penticton, BC V2A 5E2Email: [email protected]: 250-770-7668www.shatfordcentre.com & www.osarts.comContributors: Milton Orris, Wes HopkinDesign: Jane Shaak, Larry HunterGraphics: Larry Hunter Photography: Florian Mauer, Jane Shaak, submissions by artists

Using her approach we will sculpt the human head starting from the skull up, from the back to the front, and from the inside out, if you will. Learn a new skill, work with clay (mother Earth itself ) in a direct way, learn to look for specific details, exercise intense hand/eye coordination, unleash the creative juices, challenge the self, problem solving, get to know yourself in a new way. And it is the ultimate personal 3-D facial anatomy lesson. $280

Giacometti said,

‘The human head is stranger,

and more mysterious,

than the head of a wolf.’
