Westboro Brainery Workshops
Westboro Brainery offers affordable, enriching single-session classes in food, art and DIY. Taught by quasi-experts, passionate enthusiasts, and seasoned pros, Westboro Brainery is community-driven and made possible by Dovercourt Recreation Centre.
Classes are brief (usually no more than 3 hours at the most) and inexpensive (averaging $15-$60). Because the Brainery is a citizen-led affair, classes are largely determined by YOU, the public. You come to us with your idea, and provided it meets the basic criteria, you have yourself a class.
