Drawing (Adults) - Life Drawing
Basics of Drawing - This class is an opportunity to learn about landscape drawing, observation and seeing the subject in both traditional and new ways. Different concepts will be introduced and explored each week, including the foundational skills of value, texture, perspective, and composition. There will be plenty of guidance for each student from the instructor. This class is for beginner to intermediate students. (5 weeks) No Class: 11/27Expressive Drawing - Explore drawing as a tool for personal expression rather than observation. Through guided prompts, participants will use memory, sensation, movement, and imagination as starting points for creating expressive images. Working with charcoal and mixed media, students will experiment with mark-making, shape, value, and composition to develop drawings that communicate mood, energy, and experience. Open to all skill levels. Instructor: Kate Henderson (5 weeks)Life Drawing - Join Tony Falcone for a life drawing class with a French Bourbonnais Soldier! The model will wear a uniform designed by Mr. Falcone for a bronze statue. Students will draw the human form from the live model, using charcoal on paper. The instructor will demonstrate his process in capturing a likeness through line, composition and value. Students will be guided on how to see and sketch from life while exploring their own style and artistic approach. The goal will be to complete a final sketch. All levels welcome, all supplies included. Instructor: Tony Falcone (1 day)Oil Pastel Self-Portrait - In this workshop students will explore self-expression through texture and color with oil pastels. In creating self-portraits from photos, participants can experiment with mark-making and layering to push the bounds of depth and atmosphere to reflect their perception of self. Guidance through color, lighting and technique will be provided, as all skill levels are welcome! Please be prepared to work from a photo on your device or send us a photo to print ahead of class. Bring a bagged lunch. Instructor: Sagan Anderson (1 day).

Oil Painting - Atmospheric Landscape
Oil Painting - Learn the basics of oils with an emphasis on technique and color mixing. You’ll begin with a project designed by the instructor and then move on to a subject of your choice. If you already have some experience with oils, join this fun class and increase your knowledge of techniques and delve deeper into the theory of color. Instructor: Rita Paradis (6 weeks) Atmospheric Landscape - Let your memory and imagination inspire you as you create beautiful landscapes. Will graciously shares the techniques which allow him to paint from his imagination and memories. You too will learn to achieve an atmospheric style that captures the essence, beauty and emotion of the landscape. Day one begins with a brief lecture and demonstration, and then we launch into a full day of painting. Day two will consist of starting new works as well as finishing up the previous day’s work, with guidance and instruction from Will on both days. The class fee includes most everything you need – paints, canvases, and other supplies. A few days before the workshop starts, a video will be sent to you to get you prepared.

Drawing (Adults) - Expressive Drawing
Basics of Drawing - This class is an opportunity to learn about landscape drawing, observation and seeing the subject in both traditional and new ways. Different concepts will be introduced and explored each week, including the foundational skills of value, texture, perspective, and composition. There will be plenty of guidance for each student from the instructor. This class is for beginner to intermediate students. (5 weeks) No Class: 11/27Expressive Drawing - Explore drawing as a tool for personal expression rather than observation. Through guided prompts, participants will use memory, sensation, movement, and imagination as starting points for creating expressive images. Working with charcoal and mixed media, students will experiment with mark-making, shape, value, and composition to develop drawings that communicate mood, energy, and experience. Open to all skill levels. Instructor: Kate Henderson (5 weeks)Life Drawing - Join Tony Falcone for a life drawing class with a French Bourbonnais Soldier! The model will wear a uniform designed by Mr. Falcone for a bronze statue. Students will draw the human form from the live model, using charcoal on paper. The instructor will demonstrate his process in capturing a likeness through line, composition and value. Students will be guided on how to see and sketch from life while exploring their own style and artistic approach. The goal will be to complete a final sketch. All levels welcome, all supplies included. Instructor: Tony Falcone (1 day)Oil Pastel Self-Portrait - In this workshop students will explore self-expression through texture and color with oil pastels. In creating self-portraits from photos, participants can experiment with mark-making and layering to push the bounds of depth and atmosphere to reflect their perception of self. Guidance through color, lighting and technique will be provided, as all skill levels are welcome! Please be prepared to work from a photo on your device or send us a photo to print ahead of class. Bring a bagged lunch. Instructor: Sagan Anderson (1 day).

Dance with Me: Intro to Ballet & Tap (adult & child class) - Dance with Me: Fall 2026
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!

There will be plenty of guidance for each student from the instructor. This class is for beginner to intermediate students.

Through guided prompts, participants will use memory, sensation, movement, and imagination as starting points for creating expressive images.

Open to all skill levels. Instructor: Kate Henderson (5 weeks)Life Drawing - Join Tony Falcone for a life drawing class with a French Bourbonnais Soldier! The model will wear a uniform designed by Mr. Falcone for a bronze statue. Students will draw the human form from the live model, using charcoal on paper. The instructor will demonstrate his process in capturing a likeness through line, composition and value. Students will be guided on how to see and sketch from life while exploring their own style and artistic approach. The goal will be to complete a final sketch. All levels welcome, all supplies included. Instructor: Tony Falcone (1 day)Oil Pastel Self-Portrait - In this workshop students will explore self-expression through texture and color with oil pastels. In creating self-portraits from photos, participants can experiment with mark-making and layering to push the bounds of depth and atmosphere to reflect their perception of self. Guidance through color, lighting and technique will be provided, as all skill levels are welcome! Please be prepared to work from a photo on your device or send us a photo to print ahead of class.

Drawing (Adults) - Expressive Drawing
Basics of Drawing - This class is an opportunity to learn about landscape drawing, observation and seeing the subject in both traditional and new ways. Different concepts will be introduced and explored each week, including the foundational skills of value, texture, perspective, and composition. There will be plenty of guidance for each student from the instructor. This class is for beginner to intermediate students. (5 weeks) No Class: 11/27Expressive Drawing - Explore drawing as a tool for personal expression rather than observation. Through guided prompts, participants will use memory, sensation, movement, and imagination as starting points for creating expressive images. Working with charcoal and mixed media, students will experiment with mark-making, shape, value, and composition to develop drawings that communicate mood, energy, and experience. Open to all skill levels. Instructor: Kate Henderson (5 weeks)Life Drawing - Join Tony Falcone for a life drawing class with a French Bourbonnais Soldier! The model will wear a uniform designed by Mr. Falcone for a bronze statue. Students will draw the human form from the live model, using charcoal on paper. The instructor will demonstrate his process in capturing a likeness through line, composition and value. Students will be guided on how to see and sketch from life while exploring their own style and artistic approach. The goal will be to complete a final sketch. All levels welcome, all supplies included. Instructor: Tony Falcone (1 day)Oil Pastel Self-Portrait - In this workshop students will explore self-expression through texture and color with oil pastels. In creating self-portraits from photos, participants can experiment with mark-making and layering to push the bounds of depth and atmosphere to reflect their perception of self. Guidance through color, lighting and technique will be provided, as all skill levels are welcome! Please be prepared to work from a photo on your device or send us a photo to print ahead of class. Bring a bagged lunch. Instructor: Sagan Anderson (1 day).

Dance with Me: Intro to Ballet & Tap (adult & child class) - Dance with Me: Fall 2026
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!

Financial Literacy Programs with Spark Business Academy - My First Craft Fair Fall 2026
SPARK Business Academy builds real-life skills kids can use now — from money confidence to problem-solving — through hands-on, project-based learning.What sets SPARK Business Academy apart:
Our instructors are highly qualified educators, typically teachers from the local public and private schools.
Real-life skills kids actually use: Financial literacy, entrepreneurship, decision-making, and problem-solving — not just games or busywork.
Learning by doing: students build, create, and apply concepts through hands-on projects, not worksheets.
Confidence with money and ideas: kids learn how money works, how businesses are built, and how to think independently.
Tangible takeaways: students leave with real projects, plans, or portfolios they can explain and be proud of.
Purposeful, structured learning: each day builds toward real understanding, not just filling time.
