MON

  • $90 for 2 wks

    Max 2 students

    This two-class session will give young participants a basic understanding of the components of a bicycle, how they function and how to properly maintain their bicycle as well as learning tool basics (there are tools we use they’ll find in almost any tool box as well as bicycle specific tools). 

    Each student will comes to class with a bicycle they use and does not need repairs so that we can focus on the basics of maintenance only. 

    Maintenance instruction includes: derailleur cable and limits adjusting, brake cable and brake pad adjustments (or hydraulic brake bleeding), proper chain lube, maintain proper tire pressure, wheel spoke tension and truing. 

    Class category: Life skills, shop etiquette/mechanical aptitude

  • $180 for 4 wks

    Journaling, observation, drawing, design and discussion as a creative practice.

    In this class students will be given a journal to keep for use in and outside of class.

    Students will engage in:  

    • drawing (objects from real life)

    • personal visual research of art/design (books, magazines, advertisements etc.)

    • discussion and sharing of ideas/process

    • word description exercises/games

    • contemplation/meditation personal silent time


    Students will create self portraits (representation) in the form of a poster, magazine cover, work of art etc… This is optional as the class purpose is to understanding and engage in the creative process and not a product. However, a strong emphasis will be made on the student being able to create, refine, & recreate a final object using the tools learned throughout the course.

    A place where each individual's unique formula as a living human being is recognized and honored. No two human beings are exactly the same. This is an amazing and beautiful fact that is not given enough weight in our modern consumer culture. 

    The purpose/mission of ART CHURCH is to provide/hold a space IRL for people to recognize one another and to encourage individuals to share any aspects of their lives that they feel called to share. This is a different process than posting to social media. In this process there is communication for the act of REAL TIME, REAL LIFE exchange. The goal IS the sharing and recognition of our inherent profundity as human beings, Yes you are an EXTREMELY PROFOUND BEING. 

    There is NO PRESSURE to share and this is not required.

    The acronym used for A.R.T. in this context is Angelic Remembrance Transmission. This invites us to question and embrace the deepest aesthetic desires that exist within us. Where do these come from? How do we recognize & engage with an unseen world that is unique to each individual?

    Writing/art materials will be provided. Personal note/sketchbooks/journals are encouraged.
