Private Lesson for Two

Taking the clay outside. In the our new COVID reality, we are taking clay either to the curb or outside in the back yard. Learn a new skill and take a "Claycation" with us! We begin with introductions and basic wheel demonstration by one of our instructors: Candace, Jasmine, Jason, Leslie, Sasi, Steve or Tony. You will learn the basic steps of throwing a cylinder on the potter's wheel, then each participant gets up to four 1-pound balls of clay to try their hand at the potter's wheel. You can keep your new works of art, just choose a glaze color and we will dry and trim your work, fire it, glaze it and re-fire it. When it's ready, Steve will notify you it is ready for pick-up. 

*Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time. When we get started the doors will be locked and the activity will be moved outdoors to the back yard. If you arrive late, we won't know that you are at the door.

For COVID health reasons, classes are limited to 5 participants, conducted outdoors weather permitting, and we ask that you wear a face covering, bring your own towel, an apron if desired, and wear clothing appropriate for outdoor weather conditions and that you don't mind getting dirty.

Please double check the date and time selection in the Reservation Details section to assure you have the right date and time.

What to bring

Remember to: bring a face covering, towel, apron, wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting dirty and appropriate for outdoor weather conditions, clip your fingernails for the best experience, bring your creative spirit and get ready to play-in-clay!

Participants are expected to sign a Covid-19 waiver, wash their hands upon arrival and regularly as needed during class, after class and before touching community equipment, maintain 6' physical distancing when possible, wear face coverings, clean-up their work areas the last 15 minutes of the event unless a $10 service fee has been paid in advance.

Alexander Lesson 4 pack special

Hi I’m Sara I teach The Alexander Technique.  Do you suffer from a million aches and pains and you don’t know exactly where they come from?  Is your posture bad? Do you find yourself slouching and leaning on things? Do you feel tired after a workout instead of invigorated?  Have you ever heard a baby cry and thought how does someone that small make that much noise? Are you concerned about the impact stress is having on your health? It’s worse than you think and easier to fix than you think at the same time.  Alexander Technique is a way of learning how to re-orient your movement so it’s freeing rather that static. Organized rather than rigid.  Curious rather than judging. 

It’s a teaching technique because you learn to teach yourself.  This technique can be learned in person with hand on methodology but just as much can be done on zoom via self study. 

Use Movement To Get Out Of Stress

Two years in the making, Audium 11 dives into the primordial world buried beneath the surface of consciousness; the shifting sonic layers deep inside us all. Listeners will be immersed in urban sounds more familiar, as well as a vast assortment of electronic sounds in the abstract. In Audium’s pitch-black, 176-speaker space, a calm scene in a cafe can become a raucous thunderstorm, and dark ethereal rumblings can morph into pleasant piano tinkling. 

For this new work, AUDIUM’s entire theater has been reimagined with new sound compositions by father-son duo Stan and Dave Shaff. The building also features brand-new artwork by local artist Ryan Elisabeth Reid. Sculpted “sound pods” float above and around the gallery while abstract images grace its walls.

Audium 11 is a performance which take place in complete darkness.
Those with concerns are encouraged to research
more online before attending.

Beginner's Photography Class!

We teach Beginner’s Photography Classes, Photo Walks and Adobe Lightroom Classes. 

Become a better photographer in just 1 class! Have you ever wondered why, after spending hundreds of dollars on the latest cameras, you still can't get photos that really make you proud? We're not talking about the party snapshots you post on Facebook, but stunning, well-exposed landscapes that can be considered fine art.

This 2.5-hour class is a crash course in digital photography, taught in small groups of around 20 students. You'll learn what all those knobs and dials on your DSLR do, the optimal settings to use in any lighting condition, and what kind of camera to buy if you don't already have one. You'll understand concepts like exposure, aperture, depth of field, ISO and shutter speed.  You’ll probably never want to use the "automatic mode" again.

No prior experience or camera equipment is necessary to attend. You just need a desire to improve your photography skills. Take this class for yourself or gift it to a friend who's got a photography itch to scratch.

Beginner's Photography Class. Control your camera manually in 2.5 hours!

Guitar lessons for advanced students will include guitar repertoire: Classical, Flamenco, Jazz.



Music creativity and the guitar: understand the building blocks of music and spark your creative process

In this class, we will explore pranayama and  breath work techniques that stimulate health, focus and connection with your inner self, as we dive into intentional movement through various sets of Asanas, strengthening your muscles, alignment, balance and stability.

The goal of each of these classes is to sit deeper within yourself and connect to the very essence, creating the movement guided by breath meditation. 

During these sessions we  shall work on not just the physical body, but begin to unlock the deeper levels of yoga, which means union. We shall begin to unravel the tensions and stresses that are stored in our muscles bones and ligaments, and begin releasing all that no longer serves us.

Each asana represents an opportunity to allow yourself to be in your body, in the present moment, connecting to the breath, and listening to the inner voice of your essence.

I hope to offer you this time and space to heal, reinvent, connect and explore the deepest sides of yourself.
