own piece of beaded jewelry from start to finish. Beginning with learning the basics of glass bead making (Lampworking), you will actually make the beads to be used in your necklace or bracelet in the colors and style you desire.Then, using the beads you've made, and a selection of components, you will design and string your own one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art, learning the methods of jewelry design during the process. This is a truly inspirational learning experience taught in a casual, creative atmosphere at glass artist Kelly Collins-Davidson's studio @ ARTworks.

Meisner Technique 1 is an introduction to the acting technique of Sanford Meisner. The work is based in improvisation, and through a series of exercises, both expereinced and inexperienced actors will learn how to be "in the moment" and to live truthfully in imaginary circumstances. Classwork will focus on relaxation and preparation, as well as creating character and building relationship with a scene partner. No previous training is required. The instructor, Gail Westerfield, has acted and directed for more than 30 years and trained in Meisner as an intern at Actors Express in Atlanta as well as extensively on her own since.
A free showcase on October 22nd will provide an opportunity for friends, family, and fans of great acting to see the students perform the monologues and scenes they have worked on in class.
