Hello Keweenaw-ites! I hope your holiday was as wonderful and relaxing as ours. We have a lot of news to catch you up on, so I'll just dive in:
Group Guitar Lessons
Guitar lessons are still taking place at Keweenaw Krayons and at Calumet High School, with one change: We are asking that 2012 participants make a one-time, $20 payment that will allow us to keep the program funded. Our number-one priority, however, is getting kids to participate. If you have any questions about the fee, we are here to talk. Call Elise at 934.3824.
Also, instructor Dean Lahti will now be teaching guitar classes at Keweenaw Krayons on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. No longer will lessons be held on Saturday mornings. Classes at Calumet High School will continue to take place on Tuesdays after school, as they were this fall.
We are excited to announce that we are working towards a Gift of Music Recital in the fourth week of May, to end this year's program on a high note. Stay tuned for more info -- we have an awesome venue in the works!
Open Studio
Open Studio participants, take note: there are some big changes for this program in the new year. Instead of having weekly Open Studio sessions, we are focusing all of our energy on two monthly events.
Adult Swim Open Studio
Through May, the third Thursday of each month is a chance for folks to gather at Keweenaw Krayons' Mohawk facilities to make art in fellowship with like-minded creative types. All artists over the age of 18 are welcome to attend this relaxed and relaxing happening. Bring your own supplies or call ahead to find out what tools and materials Keweenaw Krayons has to offer -- our inventory boasts everything from fabric art to mosaics. There may be a fee for the use of some materials so that we can replenish our supplies.
Classic Open Studio
Through May, the third Saturday afternoon of every month is a chance for artists of all ages to wander into Keweenaw Krayons' Mohawk facilities and make... whatever they want. We have crayons, paints, pencils, markers, scissors, glue, stickers, more paper than you can shake a stick at, and plenty of random objects to excite the imagination. Some Third Saturdays will feature special artist appearances -- check our website blog or call Elise for updates: 906.934.3824. Registration for this event is welcome but not required.
Crayon Crafts
On the first Monday of each month, crayon magician Diana Langdon guides participants through techniques that will expand what you thought you knew about that humble shape-shifiting object, the crayon. Activities include (but are not limited to) wax painting and molding. Participants of all ages are welcome to attend. The event is free, but please register so we can plan to have adequate staff and supplies for the evening. Click here to register for February's workshop.
And last but certainly not least:
Tuesday Tai Chi and Qigong Classes Begin February 7
You heard it here first (or maybe you didn't): Darlene Basto returns to teach her popular classes, Qigong Wellness and Tai Chi 8. Both will take place on Tuesday evening. We will begin with Qigong Wellness from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and continue with Tai Chi 8 from 6:45 to 7:45 p.m. Both courses last six weeks and cost $75 each; students who wish to take both courses can pay a discount fee of $125. The optional companion book to both series, The Healer Within, is $15.
You can register for Qigong Wellness here and Tai Chi 8 here. To recieve the discount rate, call Elise at 934.3824 or just pay in person. |
