Fiction Writing for Beginners
with Nan Fitzgerald
Fiction is, by definition, the opposite of literal truth – yet one of its most important functions is to convey emotional truths. As they entertain us, stories can also convey complex ideas and emotions, expand our capacity for empathy, and, at their best, transport us to another place entirely. In this class we will use excerpts, handouts, and focused writing exercises to investigate how writers work this magic, employing story elements such as character, plot, point of view, setting, description, and dialogue to impart meaning to their readers. Come ready to write (sharing your work with the group is optional, but encouraged), to learn how to give specific, constructive feedback, to revise your work, and, above all, to try your hand at creating – and populating – new and intriguing worlds out of your own experience and imagination.

Cooking Sourdough Bread 5.2.24
with Bill Babb
There is nothing like the aroma of freshly baked sourdough bread unless it is enjoying a slice of freshly baked bread with butter shortly after coming out of the oven! Students will learn how to care for a sourdough starter, how to knead using two different techniques, and how to mix, shape and score the bread for baking. The instructor will demonstrate two ways to bake a loaf, using a cloche or a stone with steam in the oven, followed by a taste testing. Students will then shape, score and bake a loaf of their own in class. They will take home some sourdough culture (bring a 32 ounce container) for bread baking at home. A $5 ingredients fee is payable to the instructor at class.
