More Adult Classes weekend workshops WRITING WORKSHOP: TURNING PERSONAL EXPERIENCE INTO ART with Penelope Scambly Schott SATURDAY, 11:00 AM - 2:30 PM APRIL 28TH Writer Penelope Scambly Schott, featured in last November’s First Draft Writers Series, is back to offer this very special workshop! In an ordinary life, most of us experience extreme joy or pain or other difficulties. There’s a magic that comes from getting these experiences onto paper. It takes craftsmanship (or craftswomanship) to go beyond saying “oh, wow!” or “poor me” -- to celebrate the moment or work toward living with our problems and losses. In this workshop we will write with full honesty and pay close attention to choosing the most expressive words possible. We will turn life into art. Space is limited, advanced registration is required. There will be a short break for lunch during class. Snacks will be available however, we recommend bringing a sack lunch. $35 MEMBERS/ $40 NON-MEMBERS DRAWING FUNDAMENTALS WITH ARTIST SAM COLLETT SATURDAY, NOON - 4:00 PM MAY 12TH In this introductory art class, you can learn to draw what you see in the world around you.

Hydroponics is a very productive way to grow food crops almost anywhere.... on your driveway, on your back porch, in your basement, on your apartment balcony. The focus of this class will be to grow awesome tomatoes. The hydroponic system that this class will focus on is called the Double Dutch Bucket Method. During the lab portion of the class, we will construct a system, plant it, and put it work. Please note: there will be a short walk to an off-site location during class. Mr. Bertram is also offering to put together an optional kit for students who make a request well in advance.
