Meet Local Author & Artist Feona Schalk! 🎨📚 Join us at Tomes & Tales on Saturday, December 12, from 12–4 PM, as we welcome local author and artist Feona Schalk, creator of the beautiful new children's book, The Tiny Studio. Inspired by a true story in Port Coquitlam, The Tiny Studio began as an ordinary wooden box that Feona transformed into a little free art studio for her community. Filled with art supplies, handmade treasures, and three simple invitations - take art, make art, leave art - the tiny box quickly became something much bigger. What started as a simple idea grew into a wonderful community initiative, bringing neighbours together through creativity, generosity, and small acts of kindness. Feona was so inspired by the connections and joy created through the Tiny Studio that she turned its story into a children's picture book, writing the story and hand-painting every illustration herself. The most special part? The Tiny Studio is real! Families can visit the little studio in Port Coquitlam, create something, leave a treasure, and become part of its continuing story. Come meet Feona, learn about the inspiration behind her book, and discover how one small idea can make a meaningful difference in a community. A wonderful story for children and families that celebrates creativity, connection, and kindness 🥰
