This class is for our advanced sewers who have taken sewing 1. Students will further their understanding of following and creating patterns, get into more complex projects with quilting and clothing fabrication and have open studio time to work on projects they desire. Ms. Michelle will teach this class again and work with students to continue their love of making and sewing! Note: Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our afterschool programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Families are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. By more clearly articulating our lower cost options, we have removed the barrier that some may have felt in making scholarship requests. When families participate at the higher price levels, they help make the program more sustainable. Pricing Scale: Class Fee - covers staffing and supply costs Higher price levels 1 & 2 - supports sustainable programming & scholarships Partial Scholarship price Full Scholarship price

The Alexander Technique is an educational method used worldwide for over 100 years. It begins with the premise that the human organism is perfectly designed for a range of activities. Tension, poor breath support, and postural habits get in the way of this potential, creating chronic pain, stress, and injury. But by teaching the possibility of change, the Alexander Technique enables ease and improved mobility, balance, and performance. Are you experiencing... less energy and alertness, back pain, joint stiffness, poor digestion, nerve damage, chronic pain, loss of mobility, anxiety, tension, and/or stress? With the Alexander Technique you'll get... renewed energy, reduced physical tension, better breath support, improved organ function, lowered blood pressure, improved mobility and balance, improved posture, and a relaxed and present attitude!
