Throughout the centuries, tea has inspired artists, enhanced religious experience, played a pivotal role in the emergence of world trade and helped trigger major wars.

So, join us as we discover how this tiny but magnificent leaf has sustained and inspired people for more than 2,000 years. And remember…”A simple cup of tea is far from a simple matter.

Nothing is created in a vacuum. Painting, sculpture and photography always reflect the political and social circumstances of their time and tell much more than what’s on the label. Like DNA markers, they provide critical context to our understanding.

Not only do these works have much to tell us about the times and places they were created; they equally reflect what we are ready and able to see now.

We’ll share an eclectic journey, stopping to explore as we find rocks worth turning over. Leave the standard textbook at home, and bring a curious mind as we go in search of more ‘wondrous things.’ ... [ more ]

The creation of our republic culminated in the ratification of the United States Constitution. This document, after more than 230 years and 27 amendments, remains the “law of the land.” This course will examine the decisions made in creating not only the Constitution, but also other significant laws and Supreme Court rulings in the early republic preceding the Civil War. Some of the decisions made prior to this ultimate conflict had significant consequences and may even have contributed to the inevitability of war. These decisions also continue to impact the present era, which makes the study of these past events all the more relevant. Forming this new republic, they faced unparalleled dilemmas and made compromises they determined were necessary to ensure its confirmation. With both an appreciation of the brilliance in creating this new government along with a critical examination of their own words and actions in this endeavor, we can hope to acquire a greater understanding of our history and recognize the prescience of Benjamin Franklin when asked what they had achieved: “A republic, if you can keep it.” ...

Let's make an Amish Sampler Quilt. The original style of this quilt involves about 20 fat quarters of solid colors with black sashing and borders. The Amish Sampler may have been the original row quilt, but boasts vertical rows instead of horizontal. Besides the original fabric choices, this quilt would look good with batiks, Tula Pink, Kaffe Fasset or Sun Prints with the black, gray or navy sashing.  For an instant antique look, 1930's prints with an ecru tone sashing would be good.  Additionally, black and white prints with black sashing would be intriguing. Equipment for this class includes a basic sewing machine with a 1/4-inch foot, an iron and ironing board or ironing mat (one or two for the class), rotary cutting set (mat, ruler and cutter) and basic sewing supplies (straight pins, needles, cotton thread, seam ripper, scissors, thread snips).  Material requirements will vary depending on individual design decisions selected.  After the quilt top is completed, a corresponding amount of batting and fabric for backing will be needed.

This quilt top will develop your skills from beginner to confident beginner or even intermediate.

In the words of Louis XIV, "Fashion is the mirror of history. It reflects political, social and economic changes, rather than mere whimsy." As artist Andy Warhol rightly said, “Fashion is more art than art is.” Through time, art and fashion have influenced one another. Dress and fashion are central to our understanding of art. Dress tells a story and provides clues as to the cultural beliefs of the time in which artworks were produced. Looking at dress in art-using paintings, photographs, drawings and art installations-from famous museums and galleries around the world, we’ll see that fashion and art have always had a long-lasting, passionate relationship. We will explore what fashion in (art) history can tell us about gender, sexuality, class, race and revolution.
