artEMBRACE One-Nighter Classes Start Next Week! March 23-April 2, 2009

There is still some time (and some room) left for you to join one of our upcoming special One-Night-Only classes at artEMBRACE East Creative Arts Studio right next door to the Y-CAP building. If you haven’t checked us out yet, you’re really, really missing out! Just ask one of your neighbors! The building is cozy, the classes are amazing, the teachers are top-notch, and the prices are ridiculously inexpensive!

Classes are $30 and include all supplies (YMCA Members and staff pay only $25!). The Hot Glass (“!”) class is a two-night class, and therefore costs $60 ($50 for YMCA members/staff).

There are three Sessions:

1) Monday & Tuesday, March 23 & 24 (6:30 - 8:30pm): Hot Glass ("!") with Pam Hall – Our Jewelry-Making Teacher extraordinaire is about to take you to a whole other level in the craft of jewelry making. In two nights you will have fabulous jewelry hanging from your person that'll have EVERYONE asking where it came from! And you can smile and tell them, "Oh, THIS? ...I made it." This class is almost sold-out. Call today!



2) Thursday, March 26th (6:30 - 9:30pm): Acrylic Painting with Cindy Wunsch – Many of you already know this is a very popular class with a very cool teacher! Cindy will be leaving us after this class until fall, so this’ll be your last opportunity to experience her magic!



3) Thursday, April 2nd (6:30 - 9:00pm): Printmaking with Marlynda Augelli – Learn to make lovely one-of-a-kind prints and even silk- screening! Last season this class sold out and we had to open up another one! They've since asked for more and we're givin' it to ya!



Registration for the Special Sessions is in advance by credit card, cash, and check only. To register, please call (615) 226-5577, extension 72555 and leave your name and phone number. We will then call you to process your credit card over the phone. For checks, please mail to: YMCA artEMBRACE, 1021 Russell Street, Nashville, TN 37206.
