Open to any woman or teen in the South Sherman Hub area.

Do you know any women who you think may want to come and bead with us? 
I have recieved a grant from the South Sherman Hub to supply the beads at no charge to people who would like to join us.
We have 2 instructors,  I am a beader and Julie is a Goldsmith.  We are both willing to share our skills with women.  They must be from the South Sherman Hub catchment area which is Gage Ave to Wentworth Ave in the north end of Hamilton. 
Children will be accomodated this summer for a beading group at the Boys and Girls club on Ellis ave near Centre Mall.

COOL FOOL:Blues Rockin’ In The Hammer

Book Launch for  COOL FOOL:Blues Rockin’ In The Hammer by Doug Carter on Saturday August 14, 2010 at the Artword ArtBar (15 Colbourne St, Hamilton), starting at 7:30 p.m.

From the early ‘60s through the late ‘90s Doug Carter lived the Blues, starting in one of Canada’s first and finest Blues bands, The Chessmen featuring Richard “King Biscuit Boy” Newell. Together they played the local clubs and high schools in Hamilton, and toured in northern Europe and eventually in the U.S.  This is Carter’s recollection of those heady times, from the impassioned adolescent encountering the Blues for the first time, to the avid collector of the music that still shapes the culture of North America and the world.
