ISD 279 - Osseo Area Schools Community Education

Oh no! Are all the holiday preparations getting you down?? Don’t fret, Nancy’s team will help you get your baking done in no time at all! You’ll go home with ten dozen cookies in all. In this hands-on class, you'll be working in pairs. You’ll be provided with cookie dough and everything you need to form, trim, and decorate the cookies. Your cookies will be baked for you by Nancy’s team in large commercial ovens. Hairnets and gloves will be provided, but bring your own apron if you like. And most important, don’t forget to bring containers to carry home your ten dozen treats. Please arrive on time and plan on staying the full three hours, which includes assisting with clean-up at the end of class. Due to safety restrictions, and out of respect for the adult attendees, no children are allowed in or near the class. If you cannot find child care, you may send someone in your place. Please be respectful to others; if you are ill, you may find someone to take your place. Cookies will not be provided for no-shows. There will be a $15 food supply fee payable to the instructor in class. We are sorry, we cannot accommodate nut allergies in this class. This is an adult class only please.

Learn how to serve as executor or trustee to wind up a decedent's affairs. Instructor Attorney Susan Peterson-Lerdahl, who practices in the areas of estate administration, estate planning, and elder law, will explain foundational concepts, job descriptions, and timelines; discuss what makes a valid Will or trust; delve into tax considerations, creditor issues, spousal rights, and fiduciary concerns; and share many tips and tricks gleaned from years of experience.

Discover the magical world of fluid acrylics and pouring medium. Take advantage of the classroom experience and don't worry about the mess! No experience required to learn how to create the same beautiful abstract canvases you see on Pinterest. Instead of paint brushes we will use gravity to move the paint and try techniques such as “dirty pour”, “flip cup”, and “swipe”. It's a lot of fun (and somewhat addicting!) and a great way to spark your creative energy. You will create two 8”x8” canvases and transport home in a provided box. Your final piece will change during transportation and when it is completely dry.
