Introducing... Friday Workshop!

Bring your passions, skills, and talents on Fridays to CELC.

We are looking for students, parents, teaching artists, and people of all ages who would like to teach and present short courses / workshops geared toward middle school-aged students.

The idea is that when you teach, it is one of the best ways to learn.

Do you have a skill or passion that you’d like to share? Contact Melinda and Maria to find out more and plan your event.

Origami with River

"I started origami after my family and I had a Japanese exchange student named Yuya stay with us. Origami is part of Japanese culture and a popular pastime in Japan. After Yuya showed us some basics, I turned to the ultimate source for knowledge ...YOUTUBE! That is where I have watched many tutorials on how to make various origami crafts." - from River
