We know that learning new skills can be scary. It’s one reason that the payoff at the end of class is so great. But getting through the door is a hurdle we sometimes hear about from our students.

That’s one reason we emphasize our community approach to learning. Yes, you will gain skills and create something amazing. Just as important, you will be supported in that learning by our staff, instructors and the other students in your class.

So why not give Spinning a try? Or build that Canoe Paddle? Or learn Indian Hand Block Printing? No matter your skill level or the outcome, you can trust that you’ll be supported every step of the way.

Happy Mother’s Day to all!

Ma La Flavors of Sichuan—Mapo Tofu & Sweet/Sour Cabbage

Mapo Tofu is having a moment but instructor Patti Isaacs Rescigno has been cooking it for decades. This isn’t tofu masquerading as cheese, eggs, or meat; it’s tofu in its unapologetic original form, with the ma-la (numbing and spicy) seasoning characteristic of China’s Sichuan province.

Learn and prepare several dishes and take home any leftovers! Register now for this June 11 class held at our partner location, Christ Lutheran Church in Marine on St. Croix.
