Join us on Thursday October 4, 2018?? from 3:00 PM-4:30 PM in the Community Room for a Rug Hooking Class (1 of 4).
Learn to make your own hooked 10 x 10 inch Sampler Mat. Local artist Hayley Perry of Loop by Loop Studio will lead us in learning about the art of rug hooking and creating one Hooked Rug with a Sampler Design.
Perfect for beginners, this workshop will cover all the basics of primitive rug hooking over the course of four, 1 1/2 hour classes. Students will learn all about the tools and materials needed to complete their mat. All the techniques to finish your hooked rug project will be reviewed and demonstrated. Each participant will leave with a finished project–ready to gift or enjoy!

TAI CHI
Join us on Friday October 5, 2018?? at 10:30 AM in the Community Room for a Tai Chi Class.
Learn tai chi with instructor Kelley Brophy! Originally developed for self-defense, tai chi has evolved into a graceful form of exercise that’s now used for stress reduction and a variety of other health conditions. Often described as meditation in motion, tai chi promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements. Tai chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that, today, is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing. Tai chi is low impact and puts minimal stress on muscles and joints, making it generally safe for all ages and fitness levels.
