GA Doors (Bring your own craft!): 7pm
Show: 7:30pm
All Ages with 19+ bar
​
Craft Club Cinema this month is a romantic and drama-filled screening of Sense and Sensibility. Come and watch the Dashwood sisters contend with regency-era England while knitting, sketching, cross stitching, or any crafts you're enjoying.

We'll keep the house lights soft and will have some lamps scattered throughout the venue, but feel free to bring your own book lights.

Whether you're a dedicated maker, trying out a new hobby, or just craving a relaxed, communal night with fellow crafters, Craft Club Cinema is designed to help you slow down, connect, and enjoy a unique experience in the Hollywood Theatre.
Not sure what to make? Want to learn something new? We got you.

Purchase a workshop ticket for a hands-on embroidery workshop before the show led by local artist and educator Sadie Gilker (they/she). For this workshop, Sadie will be guiding workshop participants through a Regency-era embroidery sampler, adapted from early 19th-century needlework patterns. Come make a fully functional Jane Austen-era handkerchief! Or keep it in the hoop to decorate your home.
All materials are provided. Spots are limited!

Sadie Gilker is an avid embroiderer, painter, and designer whose practice explores texture, memory, and the natural world. With over 10 years of embroidery experience and a teaching approach rooted in sustainability and collective care, Sadie creates a welcoming space for all skill levels."

Join Janna Vallee, of Everlea Looms, in Gibsons on April 25th from 11am-4pm to Weave an Everlea Gradient

Learn the art of weaving an Everlea Gradient using tapestry techniques and a gorgeous array of plant dyed yarns, dyed by Janna at Everlea Looms. You will create a one-of-a-kind 4"X4" weaving (or begin a 4"X6"and finish it at home) showcasing complex, stunning colour harmonies. Your finished artwork can be hung on a wall or used as a coaster, or
vignette textile.

What is an Everlea Gradient?
Using Everlea's naturally dyed organic merino yarns, you will learn to weave two gradient colourways woven at the same time working in opposite value directions alongside each other on your loom. You will weave one gradient from light to dark, while the other gradient weaves from dark to light.

We will talk about the ways in which colour theory plays a part in our colour decisions and Janna will share many samples of colour combinations that she has used and you are welcome to mimic, or create your own unique combination of colours from dozens of colourway options. With the help of Janna you get to choose the 10 colourways that you will use in your weaving.

Skill Level: This workshop is beginner friendly. Never woven before? No problem!

Cost: $120 plus supplies

Supplies: $25 for just the yarn, or $88+ for yarn and loom depending on the loom you choose. If you are bringing your own non-Everlea loom it must be able to weave 6 ends-per-inch and you will contact Janna to make sure it will work for the workshop. She will also give you loom preparation instructions.

We, the undersigned residents of British Columbia, call on the Provincial Government to reverse its decision to remove the PST exemption on yarn, fabric, thread, and crafting supplies scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2026. 
Yarn, fabric, and crafting materials are not luxury goods. They are essential tools for:

• Makers and artisans rely on these materials for their livelihoods.
• Makers and artisans use crafting for wellness, community, connection, and creativity. It has been scientifically proven to be an essential tool for helping with mental health and addiction.
• Seniors and people on fixed incomes, crafting is a lifeline; a way to stay creative and connected in the community.
• Parents and educators who use fibre arts in classrooms and youth programs. It is a healthy alternative to screentime and social media. It teaches focus, self confidence, and creativity.
• Sustainable living advocates who mend, sew, and create instead of discarding. Supporting sustainable practices is crucial in battling climate change and preserving our planet for future generations.
• Local small businesses are the backbone of BC’s creative economy. Small business are the foundation of our community and the root of bringing people, makers, crafters, and artists together.

Adding PST to these materials will increase costs for thousands of British Columbians and place unnecessary strain on small retailers already facing rising expenses.
We urge the Government of British Columbia to:

• Maintain the PST exemption on yarn, fabric, thread, and crafting supplies.
• Recognize fibre arts as essential creative, educational, and wellness activities.
• Consult with small businesses and crafting communities before implementing tax changes that disproportionately affect them

Crafting builds community, supports mental health, and sustains local businesses. We ask the BC Government to protect accessible creativity for all British Columbians by keeping these materials PST‑exempt.
