Exciting 1-Day
Workshops ~ Newport/Mesa ProLiteracy
Literally
Speaking: Nov/Dec 2015
Craft Workshop
Tutor Joy Faigan led a successful one day
workshop where learners were given the opportunity to discover their
creativity. The 1-day Craft Workshop consisted of decorating personal notebooks
with different kinds of embellishments and designs. Learners brought in their
own recycled greeting cards and any other decorations to repurpose. Although
the craft itself is enjoyable, the primary focus is to provide an environment
open to instruction, discussion and conversation. The craft workshops are in
such high demand that Joy has graciously offered to make them a monthly
workshop. Each craft will focus on the month’s celebratory holiday. Look for
the next workshop on November 13.
Civic Center Sculpture Garden Tour
Tutor Marcia Drew led a group of learners on a
tour of the Newport Beach Civic Center’s Sculpture Exhibition. The exhibition, which contains 20 temporary
installations, was a great opportunity for learners to share their thoughts
about art. Marcia shared fascinating information about the installations and
their artists. The learners appreciated visiting and admiring eight of the
twenty installations and were able to write about their favorite pieces. Look
for more local tour opportunities like this in the near future. READ MORE !
