Oil Painting - Oil Painting (AM)
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.

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!

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!
