The first session will be discussing, viewing, and making beaded jewelry and accessories using simple techniques that can be easily made in 30-60 minutes! The guest artist will be another OLLI Member who is always adorned with beautiful jewelry she has made herself. Members can bring beads from their own selections or some they may have bought in hobby shops to create an OLLI lanyard. The instructor will provide the necessary tools. Members can bring a piece(s) of jewelry that needs to be repaired (not soldered) to learn how to re-string or re-purpose it into another piece of jewelry. During the second session, members will learn simple sewing, knitting, and crocheting from an OLLI Member with over 40 years of experience making bulldog stuffed animals, clothes, furniture coverings, and many other things. Members will also learn simple repair methods to save a favorite jacket, pants or quilt and are encouraged to bring a damaged clothing item in need of repair to use as an example or repair themselves during class. The third class will feature a surprise guest artist as well as allow time to finish up any projects from the first 2 sessions.

A discussion course on critical and empathic thinking based on the best-selling book by Kathryn Schultz, Being Wrong. Schultz writes: “Far from being a sign of intellectual inferiority, the capacity to err is crucial to human cognition. Far from being a moral flaw, it is inextricable from some of our most humane and honorable qualities: empathy, optimism, imagination, conviction and courage... Thanks to error, we can revise our understanding of ourselves and amend our ideas about the world.” Please obtain a copy of Being Wrong and begin reading. You will really like this book (I hope I’m right about that). More information on Schultz at https://www.ted.com/talks/kathryn_schulz_on_being_wrong?subtitle=en.

National parks seem like such an obvious idea as to have little or no history, but in fact, public parks of any kind in the United States were rare until well into the 19th century, and wilderness parks were unheard of until Yosemite was set aside in 1864. This class will explain where the idea came from and how it evolved in its first half-century by focusing on five major contributors: the painter George Catlin, the politician John Conness, the landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, the newsman Samuel Bowles, and the geologist Ferdinand Hayden.
