Family Classes: Art for All Ages
We are excited to bring more family art experiences to the community. These classes are appropriate for older kids or adults to attend on their own, or for younger kids to attend with an adult. Make it a special mother/daughter date, or bring the whole family! On the REGISTER page, you'll find these classes under the OPEN TO ALL category.
BYO sewing or knitting project and we'll provide the community! We'll also have a couple of experienced knitters and sewists in the mix in case you'd like to bounce ideas or gather advice. No charge for this one! We'll try to make this a monthly gathering, so feedback on dates is welcome!
No charge! Please register so we know how many to expect!

Learn this fun artform and create some adorable little creatures and even items to wear! We'll use needles to felt wool and create objects, figurines, and a bracelet. This is a wonderful art form for the whole family to try together -- the needles are sharp, so children under age 10 should attend with an adult.
Sunday April 23, 2:00-4:00pm, $45 per person, or $80 for a parent/child pair.
This authentic Indian cooking class is wonderful for all ages! Taught by Shirin Subhani, guests will learn to make traditional Indian stuffed parathas (unleavened bread). We'll make the dough and stuffing, fill the parathas, roll out and cook on an open griddle. We'll make three different delicious stuffings: Aloo (Potatoes), Gobi (cauliflower) and Paneer -- and enjoy the parathas after the class, served with dahi (yogurt) and achaar (spicy Indian pickle). Shirin will even teach us her own delicious Chai recipe.
Saturday evening, April 22, 6:30-9:00pm, $60
Handbuilding for all ages! In the first session, we'll roll out clay slabs and you'll make your new favorite cup or mug, as well as an earthy terra cotta hanging planter. In session two, we'll glaze both pieces and make a third surprise ceramic kitchen accessory.
