Teen Scene Writing Bootcamps
These will Commence in February! These are workshops focused on the moving parts of strong writing skills, like grammar basics, sentence composition, and paragraph organization.
Lesly Adams will be teaching a creative card making workshop (TBA) and is also organizing a beginning knitting class and Open Fiber Studio knit time. Both of these will probably take place on Friday mornings, but we will keep you posted.
Jo Watson will be offering several print and paint classes in March and April, including a white line woodcut printmaking class and an acrylic pour playtime. She has also proposed a beginning drawing class, oil painting, and monotype classes, so keep an eye on our calendar and contact us to register.
We are also working on adding a watercolor class or two in the near future as well as more fiber classes. Stay tuned!
Please feel free to let us know if you are interested in any of these classes and would like to reserve a space—or have suggestions for other programs you would like to see us offer. And please contact us if you have a class or workshop to offer. We have several options for leadership and teaching opportunities.
