Top Nova Scotia Art Classes

There’s something special about stepping into an Amos Pewter shop. The gentle hum of craftsmanship, the rhythmic tapping of artisans at work, and the warmth of a tradition that’s been alive for over 50 years — it all comes together to create an experience you won’t forget.

• Three Experiences in One — Combine museum admission, a private artist-led tour, and a hands-on Mosaic Glass Art workshop in one meaningful experience. • Meet the Artists — Speak with the First Nations glass artist family behind - Welcome to Turtle Island - and hear the stories behind the installation. • Explore Indigenous Knowledge — Learn national Indigenous perspectives through the powerful immigration lens of Pier 21. • Discover Mi’kmaw Nationhood — Learn about Mi’kma’ki, the Mi’kmaq as the First Peoples of this land, and Mi’kmaw communities across Nova Scotia and the Atlantic region. • Create with Glass — Make your own artwork while learning a hands-on mosaic glass technique in a medium where Indigenous artists are rarely represented. • Engage with Culture — Participate in ceremony, cultural teachings, personal storytelling (Anishinaabe, Anisinew, Mi’kmaw Nations). • Feel Welcome — Enjoy a welcoming, accessible, family-friendly experience on Halifax’s historic waterfront.
