So far at the Art & Innovation Center (the old library at 356 Boston Post Road), the Owl has taken several classes and enjoyed them all. Acrylic painting, more acrylic painting, drawing, Cricut creative design and t-shirt making, and just last week, bracelet making. All have been fun to learn, and the double benefit comes in with the social interactions with classmates during one-off classes (bracelets) as well as the six-week classes (drawing to painting).
Classes are held on weekdays and on Saturdays. The newest schedule is out in the AIC’s newsletter, and I note that there is another bracelet class so of course I am going to have to recommend it. As a triple bonus (along with learning a new skill and making new friends), you get to take home some pretty stuff and pretend you will give it away as a present. Oh, wait, quadruple bonus; you will meet Carson Eddy, the instructor, for whom there are no bad days in creative pursuits. And a straight face when greeted by my ‘treasures.’
What else is coming up? Let’s see the calendar. Here’s a fun one: Valentine’s Day cards with Elizabeth Young. Does anyone need me to review the history of St. Valentine?
Sign up for AIC’s newsletter which will keep you apprised of all the possibilities. And then sign up for a class.
Fun to be had by all. Now, who would like a bracelet?
