Is it time for you to learn a new skill? In 2026 Stone & Sky will host 18 professional artists to deliver awe inspiring workshops to residents and visitors of all ages. And the best part is they are free!

Workshop

BUG COLLAGE is created for participants to craft a native Pelee Island insect and walk away with a new appreciation for their chosen species! Participants will take time to carefully cut and paste paper, to outline the intricate details that each bug carries with them. They will pay attention to wings, legs, eyes, and all the other special parts that make up these creatures.
