This spring, let your creativity flow by signing up for courses like a watercolor pencil workshop, drawing and writing at the John D. Spreckels Center. Class signups are flexible in that participants may sign up for one month at a time and they are open to adults of all ages.
Here are a few of the many enriching classes that are being offered this spring:
Our Stories Ourselves Demo & Class – Tuesday, January 25 at 11 am attend a free, no obligation sample demonstration to meet the instructor, learn about the course content and ask questions. This class is designed to get participants writing memories from their lives. In the course of one month, write four short stories with instructor support. Each week there will be a prompt helping students expand their writing skills and springboard their storytelling.
