Using a Cake Mix Pad (provided at the first class) and a layer cake (42 10" squares of coordinating fabrics)  we will create 4 different quilt blocks to assemble a quilt.  This method uses an easy paper piecing technique that has directions already printed on the paper.  Blocks can be set on point or the standard setting for a creative unique quilt top.  Fabric requirements will be sent out via email before the first class.  This class is for advanced beginner quilters.

”Astrology is just a finger pointing at reality” - Steven Forrest

From the astrological perspective, the moment of your birth provides archetypal insight into the essence of who you are. The Sun, Moon, and Ascendant may provide guidance related to your life journey, self-nurturing, and your instinctual nature. In this workshop we’ll cover the basics of what these archetypes truly mean according to their sign, house, and degree. In this introductory course you will learn how to read the basics of a birth chart, and gain a deeper astrological understanding of yourself and others.

There are no prerequisites for the class. Participants are encouraged to email their birth information (date, place, time) to the instructor, Rob at rob@innercenterastrology.com, prior to the start of the class. He will provide a copy of your birth chart in class. It would be optimal to have your exact birth time available (documented on your birth certificate) but is not necessary.

Acorns, or oak nuts, have remained an important and nutritious food source for many animals, including humans, around the world for hundreds of thousands of years. The oak tree has sustained human civilization since its inception in countless ways. Why have we in our modern culture nearly forgotten how to harvest, process, honor and eat this incredible food? Learn to identify, harvest, process, store, and use acorns in the kitchen. We’ll cover the whole process: identification, gathering, storage, processing, leaching and cooking. Homemade acorn bread, acorn muffins and other acorn-based snacks will be available as free samples.

This course is designed to help artists begin to use color more effectively in their portraits. The venerable trois crayons technique, using sanguine, black and white chalks (and pencils) was favored by masters as a way to create preparatory studies for portrait painting, but are beautiful in their own right. Students of any experience level are welcome, but students who have never had any class instruction with Ed should contact him directly with any questions at ed_higgins@icloud.com.
