Here's what's up for Fall Session:

Jewelry-Making w/Pam Hall (Tues, 1 1/2 hrs): This class is so popular we had to add additional ones on Mondays at the Brentwood YMCA! Walk in, bang on some copper and precious stones, walk out with a pair of fabulous earrings and a bracelet!

Wheel-Throwing Pottery w/Dwight Laughlin (Mon, 2 hrs): Learn how to throw, trim, bake, and glaze your very own plates, pots, vases, and you-name-it.

Hand-Build Clay Sculpture For Families w/Doug Stevenson (Mon, 1 hr):
This is our newest class. In it your family will learn how to sculpt masterpieces you can fire up and take home to enjoy for years to come. Refer your neighbor's family and if they sign up, you’ll get a discount!

Wheel-Throwing Pottery w/Doug Stevenson (Tues, 2 hrs): Doug's new to artEMBRACE, but he's been teaching those crazy kids at Watkins College how to throw pottery for years! Fun, fun, fun!

Latin Ballroom Dance w/Emily Masters (Mon, 1 hr): Emily's back! Learn to Cha Cha, Salsa, and Meringue in only 4 weeks! Stick around for the next 4 to learn the cool tricks that’ll really make you shine on that floor! No partner needed.

Traditional Ballroom Dance w/Emily Masters (Wed, 1 hr): This class offers The Tango, Waltz, and more. No partner needed.

Kidz Klay w/Kathy Townsend (Thur, 1 hr): Your child will be encouraged to let his/her creative light burn brightly. And have fun playing in a lot of clay, of course!

Acrylic Painting For Adults w/Cindy Wunsch (Thur, 2 hrs): Cindy is an absolute 3-D magician with paints, canvas, brushes, collage, and imagination! And she'll teach you to be the same. You've NEVER had a painting class quite like this one… and like everyone else, you'll be hooked!

Acrylic Painting For Families w/Marjie Parsons (Wed, 1 hr): The kids just LOVE Marjie! And so do the parents! She can teach you how to focus your wildest dreams onto a canvas! Refer another family and if they sign up, you’ll get a discount!
