Mugs with Attitude at Eccentric Artist Studio and Gallery

Create a custom mug! This event is beginner friendly and perfect for those who have never touched clay before.

This is a relaxed, three-hour hands-on experience where you’ll leave with something unique and entirely your own. All materials are provided.

In the first part, attendees will build a mug with a serious personality, not just another thing to hold coffee. This is your chance to hand-shape a piece that feels unmistakably yours, a little quirky, a little bold and fully alive with character.

Bad Art Club at MakeSpace

Bad Art Club is a low-pressure community art space for experimentation, creative chaos and making things without worrying whether they’re ‘good.’

Inspired by the Art Hive movement, this is a space to follow curiosity instead of perfectionism. Attendees don’t need experience, technical skills or even a clear idea of what they want to make.

The point is to play, try things, make a mess, get unstuck and be around other people doing the same.

This is not a traditional art class. It’s more like an open studio, a creative hangout, a body-doubling session, a peer support space and a temporary world built around shared making.

No art experience is needed. Tickets are on a sliding scale between $20 and $30 and can be purchased at the door.

• Where: MakeSpace North Park, 2150 Quadra Street
• When: Tuesday, July 7th – 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Mysteries of Egypt at IMAX Victoria

Check out the documentary Mysteries of Egypt at IMAX Victoria!

Travel back more than 4,000 years to a time when the Great Pyramids of Giza were built.

Now remastered in 4K Laser, soar over the Nile, cross the deathly quiet Valley of the Kings and peer inside the shadowy chambers of King Tut’s tomb.

Tickets vary in price, from $14 for adults to free for all members. Purchase yours here.

• Where: Royal BC Museum, 675 Belleville Street
• When: Tuesday, July 7th – Showings at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 6 p.m.
