Welcome to Continuing Education!

Clearing the Air Since 1970

We love summer, but remember last year’s rising temperature and smoky haze? Personal enrichment opportunities cannot cool the temperature or filter the air, but they can offer a fresh perspective and arm us with hope. New learning experiences can put us on unexplored paths of creative self-expression, inspire us to lift others and revitalize how we see the world.

Clear skies are in store this summer at Continuing Education.

I learned so much in this class thanks to Peggy’s ‘get up close’ approach. During her demonstrations, she shared information in bit-sized chunks and made herself available to work one-on-one with us during class.

I loved having the ability to expand my learning in a group studio environment with a variety of experience levels, and utilize tools that I would not at this point in my life be able to procure myself.

I finally learned how to ‘officially’ do all the things I had been doing by trial and error up until now, as well as learn what the items, buttons, ribbons, functions and formulas are called. Also, learning how to do the deeper functions like macros, pivot tables, formulas, etc. I never had to create them before and never properly understood how they worked. I appreciated that we were able to follow along and DO the tasks that we’d just learned. I also appreciated that we got to take home demo files and the Power Point presentation so that we can practice at home and work.

ARTS Advanced Ceramics CJ CARTER While primarily a sculptor, CJ also creates pottery and has a passion for teaching in between her sculpture projects. She enjoys the wheel for the process and sculpting for the emotional and physical outlet.

CJ was raised in the Pacific Northwest, informing her earth-toned palette. She is fascinated by the stories of different belief systems, drawing from folklore, mythology and history to flavor her art. By combining natural and mythological influences, she often utilizes trans-human elements to create humanoid figures such as satyrs, dryads and sirens. In order to add textural interest, she likes to utilize other materials in her ceramic sculptures, such as fabric or feathers; these items are usually significant to her in some way.

CJ has work in private collections and has participated in numerous shows at galleries such as the Columbia City Gallery.

(Schlock Cinema) has a good, fun, welcoming atmosphere, and anyone who is interesting in movies, actors, and how movies are made would enjoy this class.

– Nick H. on Schlock Cinema with Fred Hopkins

Schlock Cinema: Bad to the Bone This summer, Professor Fred tutors us with a series of oddball films focused on a stratum of society’s remorseless and recitative.

First up, Door-to-Door Maniac! (AKA Five Minutes to Live) (1961) features the “Man in Black” himself, Johnny Cash alongside Hollywood aristocrat Ronnie Howard in a thriller about a psycho (Cash) using his musical talents to terrorize a dysfunctional family while his accomplice (Vic Tayback) robs a nearby bank.

Next, we will attempt to resist Revolt of the Zombies (1936). Dean Jagger (Twelve O’Clock High) is a research scientist who, upon being jilted by his girlfriend, uses his knowledge of voodoo to create “a ravaging army of zombies!” Talk about your fragile male egos. Then we explore an early film by renowned auteur Alfred Hitchcock, Sabotage (AKA The Woman Alone) (1936). Oskar Homolka stars as a terrorist hiding his secret life behind the façade of a mild-mannered movie theatre owner. With a Rotten Tomatoes aggregate score of 100%, Sabotage is ranked as the 44th best British film ever made. Yes, but is it Schlock? Bomb’s the word. Then comes The Damned Don’t Cry! (1950) Thanks to a wealthy mobster, impoverished Joan Crawford breaks into high society. Alas, a “free lunch” is never free and she winds up pinned with a murder rap. Things go very, very bad for Joan after that. Made at the height of Crawford’s fame, this film is joyless, nasty, mean-spirited and sure to be a kick. Finally, Christopher Lee stars as the world’s greatest detective in Sherlock Holmes and The Deadly Necklace (1962). A German/French/Italian co-production, the film was shot in English and then poorly re-dubbed in English with American actors as a cost-cutting effort. Clearly, something was lost in translation.
