and painting! You will be working from observation
to make drawings or paintings of things you choose
yourself, with as much guidance as you would like.

shapes and using light and shadow to create pictures that really look three-dimensional. Painters
will use either acrylic paint or oil paint, which are
both very forgiving materials that allow you to
make as many changes as you need to. Come enjoy

Design Your Own Jewelry Workshop
for Beginners
Fused Fine Silver “Going In Circles”
Pendant
AC08. Design beautiful jewelry out of semi-precious stones and fresh water pearls. Learn how to
make a pair of earrings, a necklace and a pendant
using three essential tools. Afternoon tea and delicious vanilla and chocolate cupcakes will be
served. And you’ll be dressed for the occasion.
AC10. Use a small butane torch (aka a micro torch
or a créme brulee torch) to fuse fine silver for an
eye-catching, circular pendant. Unlike sterling silver, there are no alloys in fine silver which allow it
to fuse without the traditional metalworking chemicals of flux, solder and pickle. We’ll cover torch
use, safety, and introduce the materials used. The
beauty of this pendant is its simplicity - both in
the design and materials needed. The largest outside circle on this pendant is about one inch. You’ll
go home with new skills and a cool pendant.
Yvonne Page-Magnus has many years of experience in this field. She has a BA in Fine Arts from
the Inter-Continental University in London where

Jewelry Making Basics: Creating
Jewelry With a Purpose
AC30. Back in ancient times, jewelry was not merrily worn for adornment. Instead, the colors and
stones were chosen for specific reasons. For example, the color red has a stimulating action on our
heart and circulation, while blue is linked to the
throat and thyroid gland and is very soothing.
Each of us responds differently to various colors,
minerals, and stones. During this basic jewelry
making class, learn how to create earrings and a
bracelet with a professional look using wire,
clasps, and crimp bead covers. You will also have
access to a wide selection of colors and shapes of
gemstones, including unique glass and wood
beads.
Shannon Johnson is a certified educator in business and math. She learned jewelry design through
classes and her own experimentation. Her knowledge of gemstones comes from years of research
and personal relationships with those who have
studied in this arena for years.

NEW! Know Your Rights:
Dealing With the Police
Seeds to Live By: Spring Gardening
FH10. Police encounters are scary for civilians and
police alike - and can turn tragic. Part of the problem is that citizens don’t know their rights. Learn
how to “deal professionally” with police if they
stop you; when, if ever, to consent to a search or
answer police questions; help you “arrest proof”
yourself; and maintain your most important freedoms. This isn’t intended to help people commit
and get away with crimes; it’s to help all of us
achieve better relations with police in the critical
moments when it matters most.

Intro to Pony Power Ages 7 and up
KD09. This workshop is for all horse-loving kids,
ages 7 to 14. The ability to handle a horse is a
great confidence-builder for young people.
Working in teams with the horses helps the participants learn to partner with one another.
Horses also help young people develop patience,
which kids must employ as they perform riding
and handling skills with the horses. Horses require
a great deal of care and attention. Kids find
themselves bonding with the horses and forming a
relationship based on kindness and respect, wonderful qualities to learn as a youngster!

Celebrating 35 Years!
Spotlight on Barbara Bloom
Photo: J. L. Steinberg
Barbara Bloom had a dream: to create an affordable community
education program that would bring diverse residents together to get to
know each other. Based on the concept of neighbors teaching neighbors
in a community setting, that dream became the Mt. Airy Learning Tree,
affectionately known as MALT. Starting in 1981 with 17 classes and 125
registrants, today we average 750 classes and 5,000 students per year.
An Interview with Barbara Bloom by Karl Biemuller
Q You were the moving spirit behind creating the Mt. Airy Learning Tree.
Tell us more.
A Yes, I was. What I realize when I look over MALT’s history is how incredibly
lucky I was to draw many talented people to MALT from the beginning.
Before we started to gather classes, I asked East and West Mt. Airy Neighbors
to jointly co-sponsor us, and that’s how Bill Ewing and Susan Beetle, Eversley
Vaughn, Dianne Reed, Pat Henning, Gayle Koster and others got involved.
I think my gift probably was in asking for help. I was never afraid to say, “Would
you like to do this?”
Q What was MALT like in the beginning?
A It wasn’t always easy. People we asked to teach didn’t seem to understand
what we were doing, which seems odd today. At first they didn’t have any idea
of what we were talking about. “Huh? Why would people want to study bird
watching with me?” or “Why would people want to learn how to repair bikes?”
After several sessions we could just show them the brochure and it got easier
to recruit teachers.

In those early years, our policy was, “If you can’t afford the fee, pay what
you can and come anyhow.” One of our first courses was on women’s
assertiveness. The first three registrations didn’t pay anything. I thought, “Oh,
we’re cooked.” Fortunately enough, the later registrants all paid, but it made
for an anxious beginning.
Q There was a lot of talent in Mt. Airy, wasn’t there?
A Actually I think that’s still true. People are eager to be helpful and just need
to be asked.
Q Where did the name Mt. Airy Learning Tree come from?
A Eversley Vaughn, one of our first organizers, quoted the famed photographer,
musician, writer and film director, Gordon Parks. In Parks’ book The Learning
Tree, it says “Everything you need to know you can learn under this tree.”
It seemed appropriate for what we were setting out to achieve. You will see
those words in the mosaic MALT commissioned to celebrate our 25th
anniversary, outside Lovett Library on Germantown Avenue.
Q How do you feel about MALT today?
A I’m just very pleased with what it has become and what people have made of
it. I’m delighted that the people who have followed me have done so well and
made it their own.

flexibility or improve balance, learning yoga
basics is of tremendous benefit for the entire

dwells in each of us. This is a great way to increase
your flexibility and strength while calming your
mind.

what’s already whole in your self? Gratitude practice is one of the highest protections against negativity and can move us away from that sense of
not being enough or scarcity. This is a very simple
technique and shifts one’s orientation away from
judgment and the “to do” list to a sense of inner
peace. Each participant will develop a unique
approach to setting our intention on gratitude in
recognition that this orientation determines if we
experience well being or not. Very simple loving
kindness and gratitude practices will be presented
in a way for each participant to incorporate into
their daily life. We will sit comfortably in chairs or
on the floor.

and retirement all have in common? Each one of
these major life events shakes the foundation we
are standing on and leaves us feeling vulnerable
and unsure. We cannot change the fact that life
ebbs and flows and confronts us with challenging
situations, but we can cultivate the strength and
resilience to navigate all types of transitions with
more confidence and grace and ultimately experience more fulfillment and happiness than we ever
imagined possible. Learn the key principles of a
resilient life and how to begin implementing them.

We can’t control or escape that inexorable reality,

we can transform mourning into meaning and longing into legacy. In this experientially-oriented
workshop we will explore the multi-fold nature of
grief and bereavement. Through discussion, interpersonal sharing, reflection, meditation, and group
processes, we will embark on a journey of healing
of grief and loss. Both those in mourning and those
working with the dying and bereaved are welcome
to attend.

From Worrier to Warrior
MB43. When it comes to taking the next steps
needed towards the goals we have, often times we
get stuck in our thoughts: What is it I’m supposed
to do next? What do I need and what if I can’t get
it? These thoughts can be paralyzing and can lead
to inaction. We’ll discuss what you want (and how
it feels), identify what can help move you forward,
and dive into how you want to show up for your
goal(s) and yourself. This will be an exploratory
and experiential opportunity to shift from being
passive in what we want, to taking charge and
owning the process in how we can achieve it.
You’ll leave with some renewed energy behind your
intentions, a clearer vision for your immediate
future, and tools so you can stay energized.

A Dubliners Epiphany

They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle

in Ireland at the turn of the last century, and by
rejecting euphemism, reveals to the Irish their
unromantic reality. Each of the 15 stories offers
glimpses into the lives of ordinary Dubliners, and
collectively they paint a portrait of a nation.
Through readings, films and discussion, we will
delve into these wonderful stories.

ouch, my aching shoulder! Do you experience soreness aer activities such as
painting, liing or playing a sport, which require you to raise your arms? as we age
the so tissues surrounding the shoulder tend to degenerate. shoulders get their
range of motion from the rotator cuff, which is made up of four tendons. if the
tendons or bones around the rotator cuff suffer damage or swelling, you may find it
painful and difficult to li your arm up over your head. sometimes an injury that
lasts a long time will cause the tendon to tear. is type of injury may need surgery.
Join leslie Barnes, MD, assistant professor of orthopedic surgery and sports
Medicine, and surgeon at temple. Dr. Barnes specializes in shoulder and elbow
disorders including rotator cuff tears and tennis elbow.

until the last minute to register. Your timely call may make the difference as to whether
or not a class runs. We make every effort to notify you of cancellations. Please check your
voice mail and e-mail.
• Your current address, e-mail and phone numbers are important. If your class is postponed or moved, we want you to know. If you provide your e-mail address, we will use it—so
please check it.
