We’ve been fans of Canvas creations since we first held a nesting bowl made of white porcelain with gold-glazed interior at the Ochre store in Soho. Now Ochre store owner Andrew Corrie has opened the first ever brick-and-mortar Canvas store just a few blocks away with an expanded collection of Canvas’ sustainable, fair trade ceramics, wooden objects, textiles, accessories and furniture. The 1,800 square-foot space on the corner of Lafayette and Broome Streets begs you to fall in and add to, or completely rethink, your apartment’s current decor. Prices range from about $6 for a recycled glass tumbler to $4,200 for a sofa; 10 percent of the profits go to nonprofit artisan organizations. Canvas, 199 Lafayette Street. canvashomestore.com

The Language Workshop For Children
<p dir="ltr">After offering both group and private lessons for many years and analyzing the results over&nbsp;time, The&nbsp;Language Workshop for&nbsp;Children, founded&nbsp;in1973, has decided&nbsp;to emphasize private remote lessons at shorter intervals.&nbsp;Our skilled educators&nbsp;will&nbsp;focus their attention exclusively on the&nbsp;unique needs, learning style, and interests of your child.&nbsp;This allows a&nbsp;bond&nbsp;to develop&nbsp;between teacher and student, which&nbsp;has been&nbsp;shown to&nbsp;drastically improve retention.&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>OUR METHOD&nbsp;</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Developed by the pioneers of language education for children, our programs bring decades of&nbsp;experience to your living room with individualized, active language classes. Each lesson is based on proven methods and materials perfected to capture your&nbsp;child&rsquo;s attention during the ages when he/she absorbs information the fastest. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">While other online language classes rely on videos for passive learning, we deliver interactive, and engaging lessons with native-fluent teachers. In addition, all our teachers are certified in the Thibaut&nbsp;Technique which has been featured&nbsp;in the New York&nbsp;Times, the&nbsp;Wall Street Journal, and many other well-respected&nbsp;publications.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">Our short one-on-one lessons give kids the chance to focus, hear pronunciation clearly, and practice speaking in their target language. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>THE PROCESS</strong>&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">First, students have a short meeting with our Director&nbsp;Francois&nbsp;Thibaut, in&nbsp;English, with&nbsp;their parent(s)&nbsp;present.&nbsp;Mr. Thibaut&nbsp;will determine&nbsp;the best course of study, including&nbsp;class length and&nbsp;frequency, the&nbsp;right&nbsp;teacher, lesson&nbsp;format and materials (or action games for younger students.) Then the learning&nbsp;begins!&nbsp;Mr. Thibaut will continually check in on your child&rsquo;s learning to assure they are getting the most&nbsp;of&nbsp;their&nbsp;classes.&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>OTHER OFFERINGS&nbsp;</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">We can also help your child prepare for: the French subject tests for SAT, AP &amp; CLEP, the European DELF/DALF, the Canadian TEF and other standardized testing, college entry exams, studying or traveling abroad,&nbsp;cultural changes when moving abroad,&nbsp;and much more!&nbsp;</p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-a97d759c-7fff-6e4d-8e93-70e093aa10f1">&nbsp;</span></p>
