Through exercises in class, students will explore their inner self and gain confidence and clarity in their drawing skills. This class is open to all skill levels from beginners to more advanced drawing students. Remember, we all learn from each other. We will do most of our drawing in black and white but can add some color for different projects we'll be working on. Bring your own supplies: a sketchbook, drawing pencils, eraser, ruler, colored pencils, etc.)

Color theory is the art of combining colors based on the color wheel; an organized illustration of the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Accurately combining colors, using the color wheel, and understanding how colors relate to each other are critical skills for artists, designers, marketers, and brand owners.  Color theory helps determine which colors look good together and goes beyond just “eyeing” color combinations. 

There is a supply fee of $7.00 payable to the instructor at class and an option to purchase a color wheel for an additional $6.

The price has been reduced from what was published in the catalog.

Reiki is a philosophy and healing method originated in Japan for the purpose of maintaining healthful flow of Chi, bringing together physical, mental and emotional balance.  It is calming, relaxing, and easy to perform on yourself and other beings, including animals and plants. The feeling of this waveform of energy is described in Gendai Reiki Ho as "the energy of love harmony, and healing that resonates with human consciousness or spiritual awareness."

This school of Classical Japanese Reiki is particularly aligned with Nature and the aura of the heart. In this Certification Course, you will be empowered into Reiki (Level One) and learn how to sense and perceive, and utilize it using specific hands on as well as distant methods to reduce stress and pain, speed healing, increase intuition, manifest goals, and stimulate creativity.

A staple in many Polish homes, Sue will share her family's golumpki (pronounced "gowumpkey") recipe and step you through the process of making the meat filling, how to cook the cabbage leaves, how to roll them, and most importantly...eat them!

Create a lovely mermaid with sheep wool using the needle felting* method.  You will begin by making an armature and then building it up with fiber to sculpt your sea goddess.  Add some curly goat locks and maybe some seaweed!  Even beginners can make this beauty!

$8 materials fee to be collected at class. No experience necessary, open to beginner or fiber enthusiast!

*Needle felting uses a barbed needle that is repeatedly stabbed into the wool to agitate the fibers. As the needle works in and out of the wool, the barbs catch scales on the fibers and cause them to interlock and bind together.

About Your Instructor: Maureen Andrew took up felting over 20 years ago when overwhelmed with fiber from her own flock! Her creations are whimsical and fun. She has been teaching felting for 10 years and has taught at Schoodic Arts for All. A creative artist at heart, she dabbles in multiple mediums.

Learn this fluid art technique using acrylics and a canvas. We don't use paint brushes, rather the paint is poured onto a canvas and spread by moving the canvas around. The fluid paint will blend the colors and create unique patterns on the canvas. Abstraction is the key here.

Students should wear old clothes, bring an old towel and a materials fee of $20 (payable to the instructor at class).
