New programs set to start as fall draws near for RCAC
If you need help with photo editing, instructor Carla Redding of RCAC is offering “Lightroom 5” classes.
This class will meet each Thursday at the same time for four weeks in the Rockmart Cultural Arts Center. Tuition for the class is $90.00 and pre-registration is required. Email rcac@ rockmart-ga.gov or call 770-684-2707 to register today.
Inductor Paul Craighead offers Open Studio Pottery, which is open to all ages. The class meets year round every Tuesday and Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and on Thursday mornings from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
Tuition for the Tuesday and Wednesday classes is $15 per day and $12 for the Thursday class. All supplies are included.
The classes are called “open studio” because Artist and Instructor Paul Craighead works with each participant on an individual basis to help each person make what- ever they have in mind; whether it’s learning how to work on the wheel or making a particular item through hand-building.
Once a person registers for a session, they are added to an email list and kept informed of any scheduling changes.
The instructor offers a 10% discount if you buy a block of four classes. There is also a 10% discount if three or more people come together. Call Paul Craighead at 770-843-5302 for more information.
Other art classes include: Calligraphy and Lettering Art – Instructor Latasha King, Drawing – Instructor James Hill, Guitar – Instructor Kris Anderson, Oil Painting – Instructor James Hill, Piano – Instructor Joy Wooddell, Whittling – Instructor Alvin Mallicoat.
