We will start with Trogdor, and move on from there. This course will cover how to draw everything from a nudibranch to a horse, probably roughly following a cladogram left over in my head from 2006. I'm going to talk a lot and wave dry erase markers around. You get to draw during class. Everyone wins!

Let’s get our granny on and make some mini stuffed animals! We’ll cover the basics of designing and building a wire armature that will make our creatures poseable. Drafting patterns will be discussed as we cut, sew, and stuff a skin to put on our wireframe. Finally, we'll embellish our critters out with beads, embroidery, and crazy tufts of hair using needle felting. Students will get to take home their mini monster at the end of the class.

Come now, everyone tells you that juggling is a life skill, but most of them have lost track of their metaphor. In this course, we'll teach you how to make a set of juggling balls out of easy to find materials, and we'll show you the simple steps that will have you juggling in no time. Anyone can learn; no prior experience or especial coordination is required. By the end of this class, you'll be well on your way to juggling ninjutsu, and you can take your juggling balls home so as to hone your skills!

If you're already set on how to throw and catch, the next best thing is to throw and catch in large groups. This is a course for those who are already comfortable enough with a three-ball pattern that they would like to learn passing tricks. You can also just come to show off, swap tricks, and hang out and practice hard throws in a juggling-supportive environment. If you'd like to bring your own props, please do!

We’ll discuss designing and illustrating monsters from an evolutionary and ecological point of view. This class is for anyone interested in animals and art, whether you're already carrying six sketchbooks or just want an introduction to thinking about creature design.
