Brrrr! It’s cold out there! But the good news is that you can stay warm inside and learn some sweet, new skills!  Better yet, workshops will be offered twice a week this semester – more opportunities to learn something new and polish-up some ‘old’ skills!

Workshops will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12noon-1pm and will via Zoom. Registration for workshops is required.  A Zoom link and password will be sent to registrants one hour prior to the start time of the Workshop. 

If you have any questions about January workshops, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We can’t wait to see you!
