Bird Houses Class
Make two houses for your fine, feathered friends. The first will be a traditional style made of cedar. Then, make one with a little more personality - use a vintage license plate for the roof and a manipulated fork for a landing spot. Both will be functional homes for the wildlife in your backyard.

Paint Your Own Pottery: Bubble Painting
"Painting" bisque is a fun and relaxing activity that can be done solo or with a group of friends. This process is sort of like blowing bubbles when you were a kid, but we do it with a straw and paint. The popped bubbles show up and make interesting patterns on the finished pieces. Studio fee is $4 for ISU and $5 for public to attend plus the cost of the bisque you select.
Photography Class
Long shots and short shots: everyone wants to take a good photograph. Learn the basics of using your Digital SLR camera including settings, speeds, lighting and composition. Students will explore campus to use their new skills shooting photographs of their favorite sites and share those photographs to discuss technique, composition and design.
