      Cardio Drumming combines movement with the beat and rhythm of drums for a fun, high energy workout. It brings together drumsticks, an exercise ball, an exercise ball stand (bucket), and rhythmic moves to create one of the most fun workouts you’ll ever do. Cardio drumming will raise your heart rate to help burn those calories, improve your coordination and ability to focus, and help strengthen many muscle groups, including your core. Studies have shown that when people find workouts they enjoy and have fun with, they’re more likely to stick with their routine.

      Equipment needed: 65 cm exercise ball, 5A basic drum sticks, a 5 gallon bucket which can all be purchased at local retail stores or online.

      Instructor: Cindy Bear

      Ages 16+. Where do you start when doing a still life project? This class will provide you with the tools you need to set up your still life that will give you the picture that you are hoping for, regardless of the medium. In the first session, you will learn how to group objects, create interesting compositions and gain helpful hints to avoid common mistakes. A check list will be shared so future still life compositions can be created using these same principles. One of the activities that this class will use to assist with your still life composition is simple grifaille (black and white to identify lights and darks for shading). The instructor will use photoshop and an overhead camera for you to see every concept that is being shared in the class. The second session will be the actual painting of the still life that you have created and effectively identified lights and darks. Both of these classes are full days so bring a sack lunch. You will be allowed time to spend some relaxation time outside to enjoy your lunch break. Supplies needed for this class: 9x12 Arches 140 lb. paper, watercolors of Payne’s Gray and Burnt Sienna, plus the colors already in your palette.

      All women are invited to these discussions to share observations, enthusiasm, insights and the pure enjoyment of reading.

      In 1969, sisters Trang and Quỳnh, desperate to help their parents pay off debts, leave their rural village and become “bar girls” in Sài Gòn, drinking, flirting (and more) with American GIs in return for money. As the war moves closer to the city, the once-innocent Trang gets swept up in an irresistible romance with a young and charming American helicopter pilot.

      Decades later, an American veteran, Dan, returns to Việt Nam with his wife, Linda, hoping to find a way to heal from his PTSD and, unbeknownst to her, reckon with secrets from his past.

      At the same time, Phong—the son of a Black American soldier and a Vietnamese woman—embarks on a search to find both his parents and a way out of Việt Nam. Abandoned in front of an orphanage, Phong grew up being called “the dust of life,” “Black American imperialist,” and “child of the enemy,” and he dreams of a better life for himself and his family in the U.S.

      Past and present converge as these characters come together to confront decisions made during a time of war—decisions that force them to look deep within and find common ground across race, generation, culture, and language. Suspenseful, poetic, and perfect for readers of Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko or Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing, Dust Child tells an unforgettable and immersive story of how those who inherited tragedy can redefine their destinies through love, hard-earned wisdom, compassion, courage, and joy.

      August- Color Experiment Close your eyes and choose three colors (colored pencils). Bring them to your paper and start drawing! This will be a still life session, with a twist on it.

This exercises our artistic eye while presenting a game-like challenge and understanding of color theories.

      Instructor: Margo Olson

      Ages 16+ Beginner. Begin your journey learning to throw pottery. This 6-week class is for those with no knowledge of throwing on a wheel or with little experience of throwing and need more practice. The instructor will demonstrate during each class and assist learners with improving their skills. Start by throwing simple forms of cylinders and bowls, then to trimming vessels. Glazing will be demonstrated after the greenware is low fired in the kiln. Each glazed piece will then be high fired to finish the process. Fee includes up to 25 lbs. of clay, glazes and firing.

      Materials needed: an apron, hand towel, and your own pottery tool kit (available at local craft stores or online). Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Leave your rings, watches and bracelets at home.
