I teach Peruvian Embroidery as well as Ayacuchan Telar (a way of knitting without using two sticks) I am passionate about art, animals, nature and I am inspired by my surroundings. </div><div> </div><div>PROGRAM DETAILS       </div><div>  Accessibility notes: This program is located in our office on the second floor of the Stanley Park Pavilion, which is currently only accessible by stairs. If you have any questions about accessibility, please email Anna at <a href="mailto:publiced@stanleyparkecology.ca" target="_blank">publiced@stanleyparkecology.ca</a>        This program will be held at the SPES office in the Stanley Park Dining Pavilion on the second floor (located between the Stanley Park Rose Garden and the Bus Loop).  (1) (2) (3) (4) </div><div> </div></div><div> </div></div></div><div> <div> Terms and conditions   </div><div>   </div><div>     </div><div>(1) Registration required - NO DROP-INS ARE ALLOWED.  Fees for this program are based on a sliding scale - you choose what you pay!  </div><div>     </div><div>(2) Weather dependent - Please check your email 12 hours before the program date and time to confirm it has not been cancelled due to inclement weather such as high winds, heavy rain, or extreme heat.   </div><div>         </div><div>(3) Program Availability - Program full or you cannot attend this day or time?  <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdAsXAfjW1izxUneR9d-yX1-0TUFxK4oP1izp63YvWl-ur7iA/viewform?usp=sf_link" target="_blank">Sign up here to be notified when the program runs in the future.</a>  </div><div>   </div><div>(4) Cancellation policy – We refund cancellations due to illness to keep everyone healthy, but the number of recent cancellations is impacting our capacity to run these programs.

The abundance of these lands and waters, which enables us to live, work, and play here today, is a result of the past and on-going stewardship and advocacy of the Coast Salish peoples. </div><div> </div></div></div></div><div> </div>
