Winter Youth Book ClubsMr. Popper’s Penguins by Florence & Richard Atwater (Gr. 3 & 4) Fee: $15.00 Meets on Mondays: 1/6/25 - 2/10/25 6:00-7:15pm @ Yellow House (554 So. Main St.)A classic of American humor, this story of a gentle house painter and his high stepping penguins has delighted children for generations. - goodreads
The story follows the adventures of Mr. Popper, a house painter who dreams of becoming an explorer. One day, he receives a gift of six penguins from Antarctica. With the help of his penguins, Mr. Popper turns his house into a winter wonderland.The Evil Wizard Smallbone by Delia Sherman (Gr. 5 & 6) Fee: $15.00 Meets on Monday: 3/3/25 - 4/7/256:00-7:15pm @ Yellow House (554 So. Main St.)In a hilarious tale reminiscent of T. H. White, a lost boy finds himself an unlikely apprentice to the very old, vaguely evil, mostly just grumpy Wizard Smallbone. - GoodreadsWhen twelve-year-old Nick runs away from his uncle’s in the middle of a blizzard, he stumbles onto a very opinionated bookstore. He also meets its guardian, the self-proclaimed Evil Wizard Smallbone, who calls Nick his apprentice and won’t let him leave, but won’t teach him magic, either. It’s a good thing the bookstore takes Nick’s magical education in hand, because Smallbone’s nemesis—the Evil Wizard Fidelou—and his pack of shape-shifting bikers are howling at the borders. Smallbone might call himself evil, but compared to Fidelou, he’s practically a puppy. And he can’t handle Fidelou alone. Wildly funny and cozily heartfelt, Delia Sherman’s latest is an eccentric fantasy adventure featuring dueling wizards, enchanted animals, and one stray boy with a surprising knack for magic.

Watercolor - Begin the Year with Watercolor
Begin the Year with Watercolor – As we wind down from the holiday season, let’s take time to settle in and create. Art creation is very meditative and it keeps us in the moment.

Main St.)A classic of American humor, this story of a gentle house painter and his high stepping penguins has delighted children for generations. - goodreads
The story follows the adventures of Mr. Popper, a house painter who dreams of becoming an explorer. One day, he receives a gift of six penguins from Antarctica. With the help of his penguins, Mr. Popper turns his house into a winter wonderland.The Evil Wizard Smallbone by Delia Sherman (Gr. 5 & 6) Fee: $15.00 Meets on Monday: 3/3/25 - 4/7/256:00-7:15pm @ Yellow House (554 So. Main St.)In a hilarious tale reminiscent of T. H. White, a lost boy finds himself an unlikely apprentice to the very old, vaguely evil, mostly just grumpy Wizard Smallbone. - GoodreadsWhen twelve-year-old Nick runs away from his uncle’s in the middle of a blizzard, he stumbles onto a very opinionated bookstore. He also meets its guardian, the self-proclaimed Evil Wizard Smallbone, who calls Nick his apprentice and won’t let him leave, but won’t teach him magic, either. It’s a good thing the bookstore takes Nick’s magical education in hand, because Smallbone’s nemesis—the Evil Wizard Fidelou—and his pack of shape-shifting bikers are howling at the borders. Smallbone might call himself evil, but compared to Fidelou, he’s practically a puppy. And he can’t handle Fidelou alone. Wildly funny and cozily heartfelt, Delia Sherman’s latest is an eccentric fantasy adventure featuring dueling wizards, enchanted animals, and one stray boy with a surprising knack for magic.

Zumba - Zumba: Winter 2025 Tue
Everybody and every body! Each Zumba class is designed to bring people together to sweat it on. It is a total workout, combining all elements of fitness – cardio, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility, boosted energy each time you leave class. Zumba takes the "work" out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you'll see why Zumba Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise.

For this class we’ll be using pencil, Flair and Micron pens and colored pencils. Instructor: Megan Jeffery (6 weeks)

Graphic Memoir - Graphic Memoir (PM)
Graphic Memoir - Students will employ both words and pictures to tell stories from our personal histories and those that have been passed down to us from our relatives. We’ll get our “feet wet” in this sequential art experiment by creating simple cartoon “avatars” as stand-ins for ourselves and others and use them in 4-panel comics to tell stories from childhood, school days and first jobs. We’ll examine the work of cartoonists (Barry, Chast, Kochalka,Satrapi,Telgemeier) who’ve written graphic memoirs, to understand how they use pacing and lettering and how they make their pages pop through line work, areas of solid black and color. For this class we’ll be using pencil, Flair and Micron pens and colored pencils. Instructor: Megan Jeffery (6 weeks)

Fiber Arts - Dry Felting Extravaganza
Dry Felting Extravaganza - Wool has qualities that can be manipulated with felting needles into painterly or sculptural works of Fiber Art. Learn the techniques of “painting with wool” in this class for both beginners and those with experience. Bring images to the first class so the instructor may help you plan your project. Wool is a perfect medium to help you express a serious idea, create a whimsical, fantastical, abstract or representational work of art. Depending on the size of the dry felting project chosen, students may complete more than one piece of art. Instructor: Robin McCahill (6 weeks) Tapestry Weaving - Students will learn the necessary introductory weaving skills required to create an abstract tapestry that can be turned into a piece of functional art; wall hanging, purse, book cover or part of an upcycled clothing project. You’ll learn to use a tapestry loom while experimenting with different materials gathered from all kinds of different sources; yarn, scrap fabric, ribbon, plastic bags, and natural materials can all be added to your weaving! This is a great way to use up all of your kept scraps from other creative projects. Instructor: Robin McCahill (6 weeks)

Zumba - Zumba: Winter 2025 Sat
Everybody and every body! Each Zumba class is designed to bring people together to sweat it on. It is a total workout, combining all elements of fitness – cardio, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility, boosted energy each time you leave class. Zumba takes the "work" out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you'll see why Zumba Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise.

Instructor: Bonny Hartigan (6 weeks)Exploring Watercolor – This class will further explore watercolor painting in a positive, relaxed environment. Each class begins with a warm-up/demo and ideas for subjects which continue to teach us how to handle many common things that can be a challenge (fog, reflections, clouds, perspective). Students are encouraged to bring inspiration reference photos or may also choose to work with instructor provided images. Join us while we continue to get in our “brush miles” while continuing to practice and refine brush work, composition, color theory and mixing.

Block Printing - Block Printing
Block Printing - Block printing is one of the oldest methods of printing. It’s exciting to pull your print off your freshly inked block! Each student will receive 10 cards with envelopes.Beginning students will choose an image from a selection chosen by the instructor. Some sample images are shown above. You will transfer the image onto the printing block. Using gouges, you will carve your image into the printing material. You will then ink your block and print the image onto greeting cards. Intermediate students can choose their own image to transfer onto the 4” x 6” block. Bring a paper copy of your image to the workshop. It can be resized at Artsplace to fit the block. You will want to look for an image that can easily be interpreted in black and white and it should be rectangular in format. Keep in mind your image shouldn’t be too complex.Instructor: Rita Paradis (1 day)

Zumba - Zumba: Winter 2025 Tue
Everybody and every body! Each Zumba class is designed to bring people together to sweat it on. It is a total workout, combining all elements of fitness – cardio, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility, boosted energy each time you leave class. Zumba takes the "work" out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you'll see why Zumba Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise.

Graphic Memoir - Graphic Memoir (AM)
Graphic Memoir - Students will employ both words and pictures to tell stories from our personal histories and those that have been passed down to us from our relatives.

We’ll examine the work of cartoonists (Barry, Chast, Kochalka,Satrapi,Telgemeier) who’ve written graphic memoirs, to understand how they use pacing and lettering and how they make their pages pop through line work, areas of solid black and color. For this class we’ll be using pencil, Flair and Micron pens and colored pencils. Instructor: Megan Jeffery (6 weeks)

Graphic Memoir - Graphic Memoir (PM)
Graphic Memoir - Students will employ both words and pictures to tell stories from our personal histories and those that have been passed down to us from our relatives. We’ll get our “feet wet” in this sequential art experiment by creating simple cartoon “avatars” as stand-ins for ourselves and others and use them in 4-panel comics to tell stories from childhood, school days and first jobs. We’ll examine the work of cartoonists (Barry, Chast, Kochalka,Satrapi,Telgemeier) who’ve written graphic memoirs, to understand how they use pacing and lettering and how they make their pages pop through line work, areas of solid black and color. For this class we’ll be using pencil, Flair and Micron pens and colored pencils. Instructor: Megan Jeffery (6 weeks)

Each week the girls will come together to experience a small group atmosphere focused on a single song that inspires and challenges each of them to explore themes including confidence, leadership, resilience and compassion in today’s ever-changing & challenging world of being a girl. Based on that week’s song we will use group discussions, journaling, teambuilding activities, crafting and creative expression, to explore the song lyrics and to develop one’s own journey of self-esteem, goal setting, and more during their time at the club.
(enrollment minimum 6 / max 12 participants). Snacks are provided.
