COOKING CLASS WITH DEBBIE LAPIERRE Seafood Sampler Thursday, May 15, 7 - 9 p.m. $22.50 Members / $25 Nonmembers Sample some succulent seafood selections that are simply sensational for springtime celebrations! HENNA TEMPORARY BODY ART WORKSHOP May 29, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Taught by Anzietta DiPierro $15 Nonmembers/$13.50 Members Henna is an all-natural pigment made from the dried leaves of the henna plant. There are many recipes of the mix. In this class, we will use a mix of high quality henna, eucalyptus oil and fresh lemons. The application is painless (applied with a squeeze tube the mixture tingles on the skin). Plan to spend 2 hours designing and applying henna to yourself or each other. (Drying time is approx.1/2 hour). Wear clothes that can be rolled up to apply the henna. The mud stays on your skin until it flakes off, and leaves a light yellow design which will turn brown in 1-2 days. The color (red or brown) and longevity of the design depends on individual body chemistry and where it is placed. Most henna decorations last 1-4 weeks. This class is intended for teens and adults. AMISTAD PARADE WORKSHOP Mondays, 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. Six weeks, beginning June 16 Taught by Meeghan Humphrey $31.50 Members / $35 Nonmembers The Freedom Schooner Amistad will visit Ashtabula September 5-7, 2003. The Arts Center will participate in the event by creating costumes and instruments for the students to wear in the parade on September 6th. The children will learn about the artistic traditions of Sierra Leone and create their own costumes based on what they have learned. Students will create gara cloth (tie dyed fabric) based on traditional techniques from Sierra Leone. The cloth will be made into costumes for the parade. Students will also create a large mask for their costume and construct their own instruments. The class will also work together to make a giant puppet to be carried in the parade. All students participating in this workshop and the parade will receive admission to the Amistad.
