A place to make, wander and stay awhile.
Come spend the day making something with your hands.
Take a pottery class. Try the wheel. Paint with watercolour. Make a candle. Wander through the gardens. Browse art supplies and handmade ceramics. Have something to eat. Join an art talk. Head into town for the market or bakery.
Come for one workshop, spend the whole day, or stay for a few.
How it works
Choose the day you want to visit Cedar Heart.
Once you book your day, you’ll see the workshops, projects and activities happening that day and can plan your time however you like.
Spend the whole day immersed in one medium.
Or move from one thing to the next.
Clay in the morning. Watercolour in the afternoon. A walk through the gardens. Dinner together. Back to the studio for a little more making.
There is no right way to spend a day here.

Wander
Not everything at Cedar Heart needs to be scheduled.

- Browse the art supplies.
- Discover handmade ceramics.
- Sit with a coffee.
- Visit the bakery.
- Go for a hike.
- Head into town.
- Meet local makers.

Come for a workshop. Make a day of it.
Cedar Heart is a place to try things.
To get your hands dirty.
To learn something new.
To spend a few hours completely absorbed in making.
And maybe stay long enough to feel, just for a little while, like you live on Salt Spring Island.
