    Fencing is a combat sport that combines offense and defense simultaneously. Sometimes called "physical chess," it is as much a battle of wits as one of athleticism - you must possess not just the speed to strike or withdraw from your opponent, but the cunning to surprise or trick your way past their guard. In this class, we will practice footwork (where we practice moving in space like a fencer), bladework (where we practice controlling our blade), and fencing (where we combine both elements and face an opponent). Together, we will hone our athleticism and tactical problem-solving, learn from losing, and discover how to uplift those around us.

    For ages 8-12.

  • Fee: $69.00
    Dates: 7/1/2025 - 8/12/2025

    While "pastel" as an adjective means "pale in color", pastels as a medium are anything but faded. Through pairing powdered pigment with a binder, the colors in a finished work of pastels more closely match that of the natural dried pigments than any other medium! In this class, we will explore the long and storied history of pastels; familiarize ourselves with the pigments, surfaces, and tools used to create pastel artwork; and experiment with creating such art ourselves. Whether you're a novice or an accomplished artist, all are welcome to join in for a meaningful taste of the pastel medium.

    All materials provided.
