Renowned international photographer Freeman Patterson headlines the faculty of instructors, many professional teachers with the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design, who will teach the informal and fun workshops for edVentures.
Also this year are new bracelet and ring-making workshops, courses in puppetry and a fashion design course that is now eligible for academic credit at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design (NBCCD), edVentures Fredericton’s principal partner. edVentures partners include Kings Landing Historical Settlement, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, the University of New Brunswick and Science East. Workshops take place at various partner locations, with most occurring on the NBCCD campus at Barracks Square in the Historic Garrison District.
