Yupo printmaking with Annie Allen will teach new techniques of blending color and creating beautiful images through Yupo printmaking using watercolor paper. All supplies are included as you create several pieces during this three hour workshop. The first class is scheduled for Feb. 16 from 1-4 p.m. The second class is scheduled for Feb. 17 from 3:30-6:30 p.m.
Annie Allen returns to the BACC on Feb. 18 to teach painting on fiber. Creations on heavy unstretched canvas create a soft illusion. Participants will use palette knives and large brushes to represent birds in flight and resting, as well as using a combination of dyes and acrylics on canvas that have been gessoed.
Carlson will begin holding an all-style dance class every Saturday starting on Feb. 18. The class will include many different kinds of dancing, including partner and solo dances. Partner styles include two-step, swing and salsa, and other styles like jazz and hip hop will round out the course. Pre-registration is required and costs $20 per class, or $70 for four classes.
