CANBERRA Glassworks has quick, easy classes as well as more in-depth three-hour classes for anyone over the age of eight.
Participants can create a glass tile in 20 minutes using “Summer Fun” as the theme. It’s a good way to explore the medium of glass and these classes are held on various dates from January 4 to 27.

“GLASSICLES: Ice that Never Melts” is a three-hour children’s class with an in-depth, educational (yet fun) focus learning from Canberra glass artist, Luna Ryan, running January 18-20 and 25 to 27.

SEVERAL years ago Ausdance ACT successfully changed its summer school to the more advanced Master School. Running from January 16-20 at Gorman House Arts Centre, we are told it’s “a dancer’s dream to spend a week dancing and learning from some of the industry’s most inspirational mentors.”
The Australian Ballet’s Tim Harbour will head the classical division, while James Taylor, a former dancer with the Royal Ballet, will take classes in contemporary dance. Producer, choreographer and dance teacher Katie Kermond will take this year’s theatre jazz classes, Jesse Rasmussen the hip hop classes and Adelina Larsson will be taking the contact impro classes. Esther Mooney will hold the Pilates classes.

THE Artists’ Society of Canberra’s Summer Art Experience runs from January 9 to 13. It’s always a lot of fun and you get to study under tutors keen to share their artistic skills. On top of that, social activities like a Monday morning tea and a Friday barbecue lunch are also being planned. The 2012 SAE will be in the new buildings of Kingsford Smith School in Holt.
