The Thistle is a youth-run arts and activism centre. We operate in four main ways: We are open in the afternoons and evenings for drop-in. Please see signs on the door, big white board and website for hours. We run classes and projects of all kinds. There is lots of information available about what’s going on and how to sign up. If it isn’t totally obvious, ask someone.
We run full-time, paid training programs during the day, focused around arts, community work and/or publishing. If you are interested, write matt@purplethistle.ca Also, lots of groups, big and small, use the space for meetings, conferences, gatherings or as a work-space. You are welcome to meet here, just run it past the collective.

This 12-week class will involve a direct interaction with the surface of the film material, both in exposing and processing the image. Themes include working with the qualities of uncertainty and chance, as well as the tensions between the intentional and the unexpected, the crisp/clean and the muddled/messy. Techniques include solarization, toning, tinting, coffee/Vit C developer, cross processing, handmade sound, optical printing, etc. Theoretical readings and screenings will be an important part of the group experience. Participants are encouraged to bring ideas or works-in-progress.
(Wednesdays, 4:30 - 7:00pm, September 29 - December 15)
