Mexico is an interesting and exciting country. We will travel away from the usual tourist destinations and depressing news about migrants and gangs to its inner soul and culture. Let’s go to Mexico City with its National Palace and great museum of anthropology. The mysterious ruins of Teotihuacan and other Aztec and Zapotec sites await your exploration. Touring magnificent Spanish colonial cities such as Guadalajara and Oaxaca is most memorable. Mexico is one of our nearest neighbors and only three hour flight from Orlando to Mexico City; this is an an adventure you do not want to miss.
The Circle Square Cultural Center brings world-class performers to an 930-seat entertainment venue in Ocala, FL. Each event on the schedule involves a tremendous amount of planning and preparation. Come behind the scenes with Jo Layman, Gary Pierre, and Gary Manges to see the "green" rooms, where performers do make-up and costuming. Learn about the front of the house and backstage equipment management. The team shares information about how shows are booked, sometimes years in advance, and what it takes to bring a group to the Cultural Center stage. Hear insider stories about show production, which are interesting as well as entertaining! After attending this class, you will never again think about a concert in the same way.

In this 2-day workshop, students will create beautiful pieces of jewelry in amazing colors using electricity and an ionic bath.

These will be necessary for the anodizing process. Instructor will provide all other supplies and materials for a $25 materials fee.
Day One: Conceptualize then form and finish each piece. This is when the surfaces will be texturized, edges filed and sanded, and dimension will be created. All finishing must be completed before anodizing. Day Two: Create all necessary findings and connections. Finally, using electricity, anodize your pieces in the colors you choose.
