 It’s time for Francophones and Francophiles to get festive, and to paint some pottery while you’re at it. 

The Columbia Valley’s French-speaking community is having a December get-together on Thursday, Dec. 12 at Carm Haven Studio on Invermere’s main street from 4:30 to 6 p.m. 

The event is open to adults and kids alike, and is a chance for French speakers to connect with each other. Pick a type of pottery (Christmas ornaments or other), paint it, then Carm Haven will fire it.
