Carla Lorence finds calm in creativity.
But with her art school closed due to COVID-19 precautions, she’s had to focus her creative energy on something altogether different: how to continue offering students the classes that bring them enjoyment and calm.

“Creativity has that, by nature — I mean, your brain kind of is able to just shut off for a little bit,” she says. “You’re just so focused on what your hand is trying to do that you can really just sort of block everything else out and just enjoy that time.”
Lorence, formerly an elementary school art teacher, opened the Cathedral Art School in 2013, providing a place for Regina residents to learn and practice their skills. An accomplished artist herself, Lorence is an instructor at the school, teaching students various art forms, such as drawing and pottery.
The studio offers classes and workshops to people of all ages, from pre-schoolers to seniors. Since opening, the school has grown and evolved, enabling Lorence to bring in other artists to teach and offer workshops.
