Charlotte Mason Group Forming
Charlotte Mason Homeschooling
Charlotte Mason was a 19th century educator who has a distinct understanding of children and how to give them a love for God, life and learning. She believed in giving children a lively and varied education using “living books”, including the Bible, in her own style of Classical Education.
If you use any of Charlotte Mason’s teaching philosophy in your homeschool or are interested in learning more about her, let’s get together and chat! My heart is to create a Charlotte Mason/Classical Education community for parents and children. Ideally, this would involve book studies, get togethers and, possibly, classes.
Please email me if you are interested! legalsiclan@gmail.com
I am Nicole Legalsi and I have 6 children, 2 of whom have graduated and 4 of whom I am currently homeschooling. I have been homeschooling off and on for about 16 years and have recently found great success in my own home using a combination of Charlotte Mason methodology and classical education.

Sac,Pottery classes,$140,Tuesdays 5:30 to 7:30
POTTERY CLASSES:
Throwing Basics- Beginning Wheel Throwing
Tuesday Nights
Day: Tuesdays
Time: 5:30-7:30 PM
Instructor: Chuck Owens
Introducing a new Tuesday Night clay class at Alpha Fired Arts. Throwing Basics-Begining Wheel Throwing with CSUS Ceramics professor Chuck Owens.
Monthly class sessions. Classes begin and are billed at the first of the month.
Four week open studio course fee is $140 which includes: 50 pounds of firing and free use of the potter’s studio during store hours when classes are not in session.
About the class: In the wheel throwing class at Alpha Fired Arts, Chuck will guide students to explore the throwing process and its potential to create a variety of forms, both functional and sculptural. He has been working closely with students at SacState to develop a thorough understanding of pottery techniques and aesthetics where he has gained tremendous respect for pottery, its history and purpose in contemporary culture. But his passion remains in the sculptural realm, using wheel thrown and altered shapes to build with; creating complex and expressive volumes. At Alpha Fired Arts, he is most enthusiastic about teaching without specific assignments where he can offer individuals the freedom and support to follow their own interests and make rapid progress in their ability to use the wheel.
About the instructor: Born and raised in Sacramento, Chuck began throwing pots at Del Campo high school in 1991. Since then he has been developing his artistic practice in ceramic art through educational experiences at Northern Arizona University (BFA, 2002) and Bowling Green State University (MFA, 2005). He has taught classes and given workshops at various art centers around the country. After returning home to the Sacramento area, he continued to develop as a practicing artist while teaching ceramic arts at the Southside Art Center (2007-2013), Panama Pottery(2008-2009), and University of the Pacific(2013). Chuck Owens currently teaches beginning wheel throwing and beginning hand building, at California State University, Sacramento’s Art Department in the ceramics area(2013-present).
Cost: $140.00
Loomis, MTC's 13 The Musical!,March 10-19
|
Geek. Poser. Jock. Beauty Queen. Wannabe. These are the labels that can last a lifetime. With an unforgettable rock score from Tony Award-winning composer, Jason Robert Brown, (Parade, The Last Five Years,Bridges of Madison County) 13 is a musical about fitting in and standing out!
Evan Goldman is plucked from his fast-paced, preteen New York City life and plopped into a sleepy Indiana town following his parents divorce. Surrounded by an array of simpleminded middle school students, he needs to establish his place in the popularity pecking order. Can he situate himself on a comfortable link of the food chain... or will he dangle at the end with the outcasts?!?
