Bowdoin's own Craft Center will be offering three new courses for the first six weeks of the second semester. These courses are open to all members of the community and will offer an exciting hands-on opportunity for students to learn about pottery, photography, and stained glass.

If you'd like to sign up for any of these classes, simply go to the Smith Union information desk and reserve a spot today. It's important to save a slot as soon as possible because space will be limited for some of the courses.

The Introduction to Photography class will begin on Tuesday, February 5 at 7:00 p.m. The course will run for two hours and will cost students twenty dollars. Faculty and staff members will be charged forty-five dollars while non-faculty/staff members will be charged fifty.

The Wheel Throwing class will be divided into two sections with a cap of five people in each one. These courses will start on Tuesday, February 5. The first class will meet at 6:30 p.m. while the second one will be meeting at 7:30 p.m. The cost for this course will be five dollars for students, thirty dollars for faculty/staff members and thirty-five dollars for non-faculty/staff members.

The Introduction to Stained Glass class will be held on Mondays, starting February 4 at 6:30 p.m. This course will run for two hours and will cost students ten dollars while faculty/staff members will pay thirty-five dollars. Non-faculty/staff members will be charged forty dollars.
