AIKIDO (15+ years)

Aikido “The Way of Harmony” is a martial and self-defense art developed in Japan in the early 1900’s. It is non-violent, dynamic and fun! Aikido teaches how to find a peaceful resolution to the most common forms of conflict. The instructor for the classes, Chris King, holds a second degree blackbelt in Aikido and has been teaching Aikido for the past 15 years. These classes will introduce basic movements, exercises and games of Aikido. Students will learn to develop self-discipline, focus and self-esteem while also improving balance, coordination and confidence. In addition, we will address issues of personal safety and bullying. The classes are open to all adults of all sizes and abilities.

QUILTED COLLAGE (18+ years)

Students in the class will learn the basic technique is raw-edge fabric collage, where cut or torn pieces of fabric (and/ or other materials) are layered and freely arranged to create as much or as little detail as wanted. Nothing is pinned or sewn until the student is happy with their design, so the stakes are low and the composition can be changed infinitely. There are no patterns, no directions, and no rules. The piece created in the first day can be machine quilted in the second day of the class or at home. In the second day, students will learn how to add borders and create dimensional foreground details in a slightly different raw-edge applique technique.
