The Courtenay & District Museum has an event with budding sculptors in mind.

The museum will be hosting a miniature sculpting/painting workshop on Saturday, May 25, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. to celebrate the completion of the new exhibit, Models & Miniatures. Anyone 10 and up is welcome to drop in the museum鈥檚 Rotary Gallery and sculpt, bake, then paint their very own custom fridge magnets to take home.

This is a free drop-in event with some painting involved, so arrive ready to get a little bit messy! The museum鈥檚 volunteer enthusiast, Josh, will be on hand to guide the group and assist with any difficulties, and materials will be provided to accommodate one magnet per person while supplies last.

This latest exhibit explores the themes of scale and how we gain new perspectives through different sizes. Check out the hands-on table, take part in an I-Spy matching game, and see what the museum鈥檚 collection has to offer for all things big and small. Visit for more details.
