Figure Drawing with Live Model
Drawing from a nude model is foundational for artistic training and provides a great chance for anyone interested in art making to learn more about representing the figure. Without the cultural and material layers of clothing the form and volume of the figure are most accessible and dynamic as a nude. The Macalester College Art Alliance has hosted professional models from the Twin Cities area for several years and is now offering weekly open sessions. The evening will start with warm-up sketches then after the halftime break will be spent on two longer (20-30 min) poses. All levels of experience and all nature of media from pen to paint to play-doh are welcome and encouraged! Every Thursday, 7-9 pm.

The Difference Between Blogging and Great Blogging
So you're blogging, or you want to start blogging...but you want to do it well, and hopefully attract some readers. The key to good blogging is to write well. Jay Gabler, associate editor of the Twin Cities Daily Planet and author of the Front Row Seat blog, offers a two-hour class on writing, etiquette, and promotional tips for bloggers. What information should you offer? How much of "yourself" should you put in your blog? How long should blog entries be? How do you connect with other bloggers and share your blog with people who might be interested?

Sibley Bike Depot - Bicycle Trailer Building Class (January) - REGISTRATION CLOSED
Build your own bicycle trailer to haul groceries, lumber, just about anything - even a canoe!
In this class we will explore building a strong, inexpensive and beautiful bike trailer with just a couple wheels and some otherwise unused wood. There will be an emphasis on employing “appropriate technology” hand tools such as planes, hand saws, brace and bit, etc. So bring any tools you own to class and we will tune them up and explore their proper and safe use (tools will be provided as well). We will not be using any welding equipment. Within the four meetings of this class participants will be able to roll home their own new trailer!
Note: Though we will attempt to reclaim as many materials as possible, there will likely be a small materials fee for the class.
