Eight weeks is all it takes to discover what makes watercolor such an amazing medium! A variety of techniques will be introduced to provide students with the ability to create the luminous, transparent glow that only watercolors can provide.
We will complete three projects. No experience necessary. Palette included in class fee.
For ages 18+. No Quest membership required.
This class is for learners who can participate independently—processing verbal and visual instruction, using course materials on their own, and engaging positively in a group setting. If you have specific access needs, please contact Disability Support Services before registering so we can explore accommodations and ensure a positive experience for all.
Materials: For the first class, only bring pencils and a folder or 3-ring binder for notes. A materials list will be handed out and discussed on the first night of class to ensure you purchase proper materials. (Approved good quality paper is a must to ensure success - Do not bring cheap paper.) You will need your own approved watercolor paper and paint selection. Brushes are the biggest investment, and you may borrow the necessary brushes from the instructor each week.
Class will be held in the Kendall/Baustian room at the Senior Center on 720 Sprague St.

You’ll create healthy, uplifting spaces that contribute positively to your life.

Fall is a busier time in the garden than one might expect – it's the best time for many productive activities that help keep gardens beautiful and easy to maintain in the next year. The cool weather and the still-warm soil make Fall the perfect time to plant, and in some cases, it’s also the best time for pruning. Fall is also a great time to mulch in preparation for spring. In this class, we’ll go through each of these activities step-by-step – demonstrating how each process not just makes your garden easier to care for, but helps it thrive.
The latter half of the class will be held outdoors in a nearby garden and will involve walking on unpaved terrain. Sturdy, closed-toe shoes, clothing appropriate for the weather, and water are recommended.
For ages 18+. No Quest membership required.
Students will carpool to a secondary location. All students must sign a field trip liability waiver before the start of class in order to attend. You will be asked to sign the form during the registration process.
