Just like any novel, a short story contains plot, setting, description, dialogue, character development – and, hopefully, a superb hook to capture the reader’s initial interest. But unlike novels, short stories must achieve all that in less than 7,500 words. A challenge? Yes! But once mastered, the short story can become your stepping-stone to longer works such as the novelette, the novella, and even the full-fledged novel. If you’re ready for a learn-by-doing approach to writing, join us for this chance to bring your short story idea to life. By the end of the class, you’ll have a viable short story, the opportunity to receive additional instructor feedback after the class’s conclusion, sources for publication, and many handouts to aid your future writing endeavors.

Are you curious about machine knitting? Do you want to purchase a machine, but can't make heads or tails of the different gauges, brands, or other features to consider?

Or do you love hand knitting, but hate knitting rows upon rows of stockinette stitch and are looking for an alternative? Regardless of whatever led you here, this class can help! Together, we will learn about domestic flatbed knitting machines, what they can and can't do, what to consider when purchasing one, the basics of using one, and how to make a tension swatch for knitting an accessory or garment - plus oodles of other crucial details.

Did you ever want to learn how to play chess - or, if you already know the rules, how to become a better player? In this course, we will thoroughly cover the basics, then focus on a methodology that helps you ask the right questions about each move. Helpful handouts and ample time for practice games will enable you to analyze your strategy, set goals, and play purposefully using solid chess fundamentals. As chess even demonstrably keeps the brain healthy, it's especially excellent for seniors looking to maintain mental sharpness - but it's never too early, nor too late, to learn!

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.

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.
All students must sign a Waiver & Release of Liability form before the start of class in order to attend. Upon enrollment, a link to the form will be included in the order confirmation email.
