Weekly practice will include techniques such as wash, dry brush, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry and why they might be used. Discussions of common problems and how to avoid or remedy them will also be covered.

Dance with Me: Intro to Ballet & Tap (adult & child class) - Dance with Me: Fall 2025
In this introductory ballet and tap dance class, children will experience the fun of simple preliminary ballet movements and beginner tap movements with a parent or caregiver. The children will develop their motor skills, interact with peers and with the help of their parent/caregiver get a taste of this wonderful performance art form. Adult/child pairs will learn one short ballet and one short tap dance for families to view on the last day of class. Tap shoes are a must for the children; leotard, tights and ballet slippers are recommended but not required. Adults are welcome to wear tap shoes, ballet slippers and dance attire if they so desire, but athletic shoes and clothing are sufficient for the adults. This is a great way to bond and have fun while introducing dance to your child!

Fiber Arts - Paint & Sculpt with Wool
Felted Earrings Workshop - Using special Merino wool, students will learn “wet-felting” techniques to create a pair of unique earrings. This technique involves rolling the wool in warm, soapy water. It is a gentle and comfortable technique allowing the wool fibers to interlock with dense material as a result. Yet, these earrings are extremely lightweight. You’ll choose from a colorful array of soft wool for your earrings to suit that “difficult to accessorize” outfit or for the season. Hypoallergenic pierced or clip-on posts provided. Come by yourself or with a group of friends! No experience necessary.Paint & Sculpt with Wool - Explore the magical medium of wool that is full of painterly qualities. The technique of needle felting enables you to build up textures and colors with colorful wool. The forgiving qualities of this medium will help you express your ideas as you create a low relief or three-dimensional sculpture, a textured painting or tapestry. Think outside the box and let your creativity flow. Whether you keep or give as a gift, your projects will be unique and colorful. Instructor: Robin McCahill (5 weeks) No Class: 11/28

Dance with Me: Intro to Ballet & Tap (adult & child class) - Dance with Me: Fall 2025
In this introductory ballet and tap dance class, children will experience the fun of simple preliminary ballet movements and beginner tap movements with a parent or caregiver. The children will develop their motor skills, interact with peers and with the help of their parent/caregiver get a taste of this wonderful performance art form. Adult/child pairs will learn one short ballet and one short tap dance for families to view on the last day of class. Tap shoes are a must for the children; leotard, tights and ballet slippers are recommended but not required. Adults are welcome to wear tap shoes, ballet slippers and dance attire if they so desire, but athletic shoes and clothing are sufficient for the adults. This is a great way to bond and have fun while introducing dance to your child!

Fiber Arts - Paint & Sculpt with Wool
Felted Earrings Workshop - Using special Merino wool, students will learn “wet-felting” techniques to create a pair of unique earrings. This technique involves rolling the wool in warm, soapy water. It is a gentle and comfortable technique allowing the wool fibers to interlock with dense material as a result. Yet, these earrings are extremely lightweight. You’ll choose from a colorful array of soft wool for your earrings to suit that “difficult to accessorize” outfit or for the season. Hypoallergenic pierced or clip-on posts provided. Come by yourself or with a group of friends! No experience necessary.Paint & Sculpt with Wool - Explore the magical medium of wool that is full of painterly qualities. The technique of needle felting enables you to build up textures and colors with colorful wool. The forgiving qualities of this medium will help you express your ideas as you create a low relief or three-dimensional sculpture, a textured painting or tapestry. Think outside the box and let your creativity flow. Whether you keep or give as a gift, your projects will be unique and colorful. Instructor: Robin McCahill (5 weeks) No Class: 11/28

Dance with Me: Intro to Ballet & Tap (adult & child class) - Dance with Me: Fall 2025
In this introductory ballet and tap dance class, children will experience the fun of simple preliminary ballet movements and beginner tap movements with a parent or caregiver. The children will develop their motor skills, interact with peers and with the help of their parent/caregiver get a taste of this wonderful performance art form. Adult/child pairs will learn one short ballet and one short tap dance for families to view on the last day of class. Tap shoes are a must for the children; leotard, tights and ballet slippers are recommended but not required. Adults are welcome to wear tap shoes, ballet slippers and dance attire if they so desire, but athletic shoes and clothing are sufficient for the adults. This is a great way to bond and have fun while introducing dance to your child!

Fiber Arts - Paint & Sculpt with Wool
Felted Earrings Workshop - Using special Merino wool, students will learn “wet-felting” techniques to create a pair of unique earrings. This technique involves rolling the wool in warm, soapy water. It is a gentle and comfortable technique allowing the wool fibers to interlock with dense material as a result. Yet, these earrings are extremely lightweight. You’ll choose from a colorful array of soft wool for your earrings to suit that “difficult to accessorize” outfit or for the season. Hypoallergenic pierced or clip-on posts provided. Come by yourself or with a group of friends! No experience necessary.Paint & Sculpt with Wool - Explore the magical medium of wool that is full of painterly qualities. The technique of needle felting enables you to build up textures and colors with colorful wool. The forgiving qualities of this medium will help you express your ideas as you create a low relief or three-dimensional sculpture, a textured painting or tapestry. Think outside the box and let your creativity flow. Whether you keep or give as a gift, your projects will be unique and colorful. Instructor: Robin McCahill (5 weeks) No Class: 11/28

Each session will include a short demo to get us warmed up and suggestions for paintings which may span more than one class.

Weekly practice will include techniques such as wash, dry brush, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry and why they might be used. Discussions of common problems and how to avoid or remedy them will also be covered. Focus will be primarily on landscapes and nature (but students are encouraged to work on anything which interests them).
