Emerson’s ‘Art on the Rocks’ announces spirited fall courses
The Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture continues to present its popular Art on the Rocks series this fall. If you’re creative but need direction and don’t want the commitment of a multi-week course, this batch of classes is just the ticket. Grab some friends and enjoy a creative evening filled with step-by-step art instruction, socializing, and yes – cocktails! This is not your average wine and painting class. The Art on the Rocks series switches up the medium and beverages each session for those looking to learn something new and drink something different. Let your favorite poison inspire a new passion!
Classes will be held the first Thursday of every month from 6:30–8:30pm through year’s end. The Emerson and Rocking R Bar, the event series’ sponsor, share hosting duties. Here’s a look at the upcoming gatherings.
Cider & Ceramics is first up on September 5th at the Emerson. Hand-build with clay while enjoying hard cider. Beer & Baskets follows on October 3rd at the R Bar. Weave a basket to fill with goodies! Back at the Emerson, pull up a chair for Pinot & Paper Mache on November 7th. Create decorative gourds, bowls or napkin rings to decorate your holiday table. And closing this round of Art on the Rocks on December 5th is Pints & Prints at the Rockin’ R. Use printmaking techniques to create your own holiday cards.
Cost for these classes is $35 each for Emerson members and $40 for non-members. Registration includes supplies and two signature cocktails. Must be 21+ to enroll. For additional series information and to register, please visit www.theemerson.org/class-schedule.
