Lillington, NC—The arts enrich our lives. If
you like to enjoy the artistic skills of others or if
you’re interested in developing a new hobby, plan
to attend Central Carolina Community College’s “A
Taste of the Arts” at the Shawtown Center on January
10, 2004. At this unique event, artists will present
hands-on arts demonstrations.
Approximately 15 artisans will showcase their talents
and display their works during the event. The artists
are not only skilled in their crafts, but enthusiastic
and experienced instructors from the community service
classes at CCCC. Both the artists and college administrators
want people to come away from the event with a desire
to learn something new.
”I hope they see the old wood and beautiful carvings and want to learn
how to do this,” says woodcarver Ken Mahar. “I love teaching
others what I’ve learned.”
Basket making, cake decorating, crocheting, jewelry making, stamping, wreath
making, tatting, oil paining and picture frame matting are some of the arts
scheduled to be represented. In addition to the traditional arts, instructors
will demonstrate massage therapy and yoga. Several dance classes will
perform throughout the day.
”We want people to experience the variety of classes that CCCC offers,” says
Melody McGee, director of continuing education in Harnett County. “This
showcase is an excellent way for people searching for a new hobby to explore
the possibilities.”
The free community event lasts from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. at the CCCC
Shawtown Center, 695 Shawtown Road, in Lillington. CCCC staff will be
available to answer questions regarding classes and to take registrations. People
over the age of 65 may qualify for fee waivers.
