The Pearl Knotting class ($15, plus the cost of supplies) teaches students how to keep the snowy orbs from absconding to their oyster lairs, and wrist wear crafted in the Figure 8 Hugs and Kisses bracelet class ($20, plus the cost of supplies) sparkles like a bedazzled tic-tac-toe board.

Check out the online schedule for class times.

Those opting to stockpile supplies can peruse McBead Creations’ extensive collection of raw beading materials and tools, including the Coiling Gizmo($18.95), which facilitates the effortless coiling of wires without the hassles of acquiring telekinetic metal-bending skills. Numerous beading kits, such as a Krystal Komodo bracelet kit ($29.95) or a beginner beading kit ($35.95) afford adornment architects the chance to construct their masterpieces in the comfort of their own homes. Shoppers can also bedizen insipid earlobes with a pair of ready-made Swarovski-crystal chandelier earrings ($19.95) that add glamour to outfits, catching the light and the attention of eligible magpie bachelors alike.

Today’s Groupon to 44 Wide. Choose between the following options:

  • For $69, you get one 16″x20″ gallery-wrapped photo canvas, including image tune-up and shipping (a $195 value).
  • For $129, you get two 16″x20″ gallery-wrapped photo canvases, including image tune-up and shipping (a $390 value).

Boutique print company 44 Wide was founded by a father-and-son duo and provides top-quality, large-format prints for both pro photographers and first-time film snappers alike. Today’s Groupon is good for one or two 16″x20″ wrapped canvases that display blown-up, retouched, and fully edited photographs of your choice artfully applied to a large canvas for ease of wall hanging. The process begins by uploading a favourite photo of a photogenic french bulldog or your parole-board hearing directly to the company’s website. Canvases are all coated with a state-of-the-art protective shield, so splatters of water, chardonnay, and liquid lip gloss can simply be smudged off the portrait with a damp cloth without doing damage to the canvas.

Prints are produced with the help of top-quality equipment in 44 Wide’s sleek and sophisticated gallery, and this Groupon includes shipping of the finished canvas. Take this opportunity to cover a shamefully naked wall space with a crisp and clean customized canvas, or gift this Groupon to a couple of newlyweds still smugly flipping through their wedding book at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Today’s GrouponLive Deal: for $30, you get one Orchestra section C ticket to a performance of Beethoven’s Symphony no. 5 on October 12 at 8 p.m. plus one drink ticket valid during a post-concert reception at the National Art Centre’s Southam Hall (a $72 value). Doors open at 7 p.m. with a pre-concert chat titled Orchestra 101 beginning at 7:15 p.m.

Finnish conductor Hannu Lintu makes his National Art Centre debut during a performance of Beethoven’s Symphony no. 5, flourishing his baton to command majestic, whimsical, and exhilarating sound from the instruments of skilled musicians including violinist Leila Josefowicz. Beethoven’s Symphony no. 5 stirs the souls of first-time orchestra goers and veterans alike with its ominous, unforgettable opening best known in modern times as the signal that a bowler has stepped over the foul line. Waves of velvety harmony wash over Southam Hall’s rows of continental-style red seating during the performance. A post-performance drink wets vocal chords with a social relaxer, which grants effortless run-ins with skilled musicians or dead-pan music stands.
