Lots and lots (and lots) of books for sale, and other junk. I mean goodies. and they'll be cheap.

4. Roberts Street Social Centre General Meeting - Tues. May 5, 7-9pm
A big old quarterly meeting to talk about everything that's going on. Committee reports, special projects, big decisions, that kind of thing. Everyone is welcome to attend - it's a good introduction to what we do and how we work and what you might want to get involved doing!

5. Popular Education Series - Wed. May 6, 7pm - Kaley Kennedy - Never Again: a discussion on the struggle for reproductive rights in Nova Scotia
The history of the struggle for reproductive rights in Nova Scotia is definitely an interesting one. This workshop will give some historical context to pro-choice movements in Nova Scotia including the work of the five Nova Scotia Chapters of the Canadian Abortion Rights Action League (CARAL) in the 1980s and early 1990s and the battle to get the government to fully fund abortions. The workshop will also give an overview of the current state of access to abortion in the province and provide a chance to discuss other challenges women in Nova Scotia are facing with regards to reproductive rights.

7. Ink Storm Screenprinting Collective - Three-part project class - Thurs. May 14, 21 and 28 at 7pm
In three weeks, participants will go through all the steps of a screenprinting project, starting and finishing an individual project in class time. Our Level One class (or some screenprinting experience) is a pre-requisite to taking this class. These classes will allow you to bring in your own image, learn different ways to prepare it for printing, burn a rental screen with your image, and print on paper or fabric. We will also learn about inks and other materials used.
The three week session costs $75 which includes studio time and everything else you'll need (materials for image design, screen rental fees, emulsion and stripper, and inks for printing). The only thing you need to bring is fabric of paper for printing in the final class.
YOU MUST pre-register by emailing inkstormscreen@gmail.com
