Come and try out something new! Spend the afternoon with a great group of kids and adults. Learn something you’ve always wanted to learn. Many of our Thursday workshops are open to all people aged 10 to 18. All are welcome: traditional students, homeschoolers, and anyone else who is free on Thursday afternoons! (Note that some student-led workshops are only open to our current students and are noted as such.) These workshops are a series of 1 – 8 week long workshops. We take advantage of local organizations and experts. Students may register for the entire series of workshops, or for individual offerings. Interested students are invited to play a significant role in choosing workshop topics, organizing them, and even leading them. Past workshop topics have included mountain biking, archery, model rocketry, fencing, American Sign Language, improvisational acting, Shakespeare reading and performance, digital photography, board game design, and more. In the winter or spring, Thursday workshops will focus on the production of a full-length play.
To register:
Please call 223-1010 or email ryan@pacemschool.org. Pre-registration is required. Workshops with insufficient registration may be cancelled. Please email us to be on the list if you want to hear about upcoming workshops.
Upcoming workshops:
Intro to Fan Fiction with Aaron Starmer — Someone once said: “Good artists copy. Great artists steal.” In this workshop, we’ll be stealing characters, settings and plot points from our favorite writers/media and using them to craft our own stories. It’s the perfect way to introduce creative writing to new authors, and a great way for seasoned authors to experiment with form and plot. Be prepared to talk about your inspirations (books, movies, comics, videos, games, whatever) and be prepared to write…and steal! Thursday, 11/12, 1-3pm. Included in full-time tuition, $25 for part-time enrolled students, $35 for students not currently enrolled.
Nail Art with Alex Yahm-Halberg — More than just nail polish… this nail art workshop will allow each student to make a creative press on nail set in whatever style they’d like, with various gem, charm and glitter options. If they have time, students will also have the opportunity to paint their natural nails with regular polish. Please wear clothes that you don’t care too much about and be ready to make some fabulous nails!! Thursday, 11/19, 1-3pm. Materials fee of $5-10 (sliding scale) for full-time students, $25 for part-time enrolled students, $35 for students not currently enrolled.
Makerspace series with Paul Wallich — Make Your Own Fidgets (12/3), Holiday Gifts and More (12/10 & 12/17) – more info coming soon
