We recognize that provincial guidelines on masking have changed and encourage you to wear masks while taking a workshop or borrowing at OTL.  

Many of our volunteers are immuno-compromised and we’d like to look out for them as well. 

Stay tuned for upcoming September workshops! 

We’re collaborating with Orpheus Theatre on a workshop series in September to learn how the magic of theatre works. We’ll be teaching woodworking skills which can be used in set building and home building.
