WINTER ART CAMP PASTEL DRAWING WORKSHOP - CULINARY MISCHIEF

Grades 1-5 with Young Rembrandts Our domestic critters are up to no good in this three-day pastel workshop! We’ll use pastels to create amazing, “can’t-believe-Idrew-this” masterpieces. Day 1, we draw a pattern-rich, poster-sized ice cream cone, triumphantly carried by a troop of ants. On Day 246, we catch (and draw) mice in the act of making the soup, and on Day 3, we discover a spaghetti thief in our very own drawing!

Pastels are an amazing medium—that with good direction can make an artist out of any rookie. You won’t believe the results from this fun-for-all, skill-enhancing workshop. No experience necessary.

Please wear an old shirt or smock to class each day.

Age 12+ with Kelly McVicker, www.mcvickerpickles.com In this class you'll learn the secrets behind lacto-fermentation as you try your hand at making spicy kimchi or tasty sauerkraut--or a hybrid of the two called kraut-chi! We'll also do a fermented pickle recipe using cucumbers or another seasonal veggie. Take home your custom creation, keep an eye on your "edible pet," and enjoy the flavor in a few weeks. In addition to your jar of tasty goodness, you'll also leave with some specific recipes and the knowledge and skills to apply lacto-fermenting techniques to just about any fruit or vegetable.

Students are encouraged to bring a knife they're comfortable using, and an apron. Instructor will provide jars, but students are encouraged to bring their own for any leftovers! Supplies included.

Age 12+ with Kelly McVicker, www.mcvickerpickles.com There’s nothing like a jar of homemade jam to brighten up your breakfast or make an edible gift for someone special. In this class, you will learn the basics of making jams & jellies, including how to safely use a water bath canning process to preserve your jars for up to a year. We'll even decorate our jars with custom labels, ribbon and gift tags so they're all ready for holiday gifting! You'll leave with 2 jars of jam or jelly made in class, and recipes and resources for repeating the process at home. Bring an apron. Jams & Jellies are high in sugar, so this class isn’t suitable for diabetics or those on low-sugar diets. Lab Fee: $5 payable to instructor. Supplies included. $82 / $69 Resident Discount CODE

Increase your influence on both the business and your career by mastering seven influence platforms that are within your control. Women who don’t understand how to influence at work often feel stressed and/or financially insecure.

After six decades of teaching yoga to many devoted students, Betty Coleman passed away on July 13, 2017, just two months shy of her 92nd birthday. Her generous spirit and loving commitment to her students was reflected in the family-like atmosphere of her classes.

She emphasized flexibility and balance and this translated into the outside world, as we carried her lessons over into our daily lives.

She was a beautiful teacher of respect for all of life and will be deeply missed by each of us.

ENHANCE FITNESS

Age 50+ or adults with Arthritis Enhance Fitness classes are taught by Sequoia YMCA sponsored by Sequoia Healthcare District.

EnhanceFitness is an hour-long, three-days-per-week evidenced-based class designed to improve physical conditioning and to decrease risk of falling for older adults and those with arthritis. Studies show that regular physical activity improves overall health, memory, mood, balance, bone density, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. Class is progressive and can be done standing or seated.

“Joining the EnhanceFitness® class was the big turning point in my life after recovering from my stroke. I’ve come a long way from hardly being able to walk. But just as important as my physical progress, are the friendships I have developed with other class members.”

Prefer more one-on-one attention when it comes to a fitness regime? If so, sign up for appointments with certified fitness instructor Scott Lohmann (650) 823-1225, Sandra Burgess (650) 380-0882 or Sang Pvongnak (510)469-7682.
