Our Calendar of Events
EHAC offers workshops and concerts each season, creating opportunities for artistic expression and skill development. Based on a curated mix of genres and popularity, and mindful of our superb acoustics, up and coming musicians are invited to perform in our extraordinary space. Workshops are offered whenever teaching professionals visit the Bight and express interest in sharing their craft. Or perhaps an artist in residence will offer a class. Every season is different. Have a look at this season's offerings.

Fee: $45.00
Children and Adults Welcome
Saturday August 13, 10-4
In the first part of this workshop students will use natural objects gathered for the class, to learn how to observe and record, what they see by completing a series of drawing studies. Participants will learn about tonal values, texture, and creating balance in compositions by experimenting with different types of materials: drawing pencils, charcoal, graphite, pastels, ink, pastels, and pencil crayons. Classes will include group and individual instruction, participants will be encouraged and challenged at their own level of experience. In the second part of the workshop, students will explore aspects of balance by using materials from the first part of the class to create sculptural mobiles.

Riddle Fence Building with Leslee Lake
10:00 a.m. to August 21st, 4:00 p.m.
Fee: $250.00Spend two days learning how to construct a traditional Newfoundland fence.
The riggle rod (wriggle, riddle, lear, roddle) fence is the most unique fence type found in Newfoundland history and it is very rare today. It is a combination of a longer fence and a picket fence and has obvious roots in the wattle fences of Medieval England. This fence was the most effective in creating a barrier to keep things in or out of an enclosure, and was economically practical because it does not require the use of nails. Remembering and reviving this skill will help ensure that it is not lost in time, and might offer an alternative that is environmentally safe and affordable.
Join noted landscaper Leslee Lake for a hands-on building experience. Leslee will demonstrate how to plan for a fence and prepare the ground, how to find and create the necessary materials, and how to construct the fence.
Cost: $250 -

Jason Hashimoto
Jason was first introduced to photography while in high school, spending countless hours in the darkroom developing 35mm film and making traditional photographic prints. Although his images are now captured on sensors instead of film, and he spends far too many hours in front of his computer, his passion for creating beautiful images remains the driving force behind his exploration of the medium. Working full time in the photographic camera industry, and running a part time wedding photography business keeps him very busy. Jason truly loves to share his knowledge of photography with others and has taught several photography workshops at local galleries and camera clubs. -
