proximity) from her book, “The Non-Designer’s Design
Book.” The use of these principles will create balance

take your documents and posts to the next level. The

Painted Wood Bench
Somewhere in your home or garden there is
a need for a three-foot bench custom painted
by you. The surface design, style and color will
be up to you. Will it be a red Nebraska Husker
bench by the front door? A blue-and-white folk
design at the foot of your bed? A floral themed
bench for your garden? Susan Schoenhofer will
help you transfer your vision onto the bench.
The students will prime the bench and discuss
design ideas on June 8. At the first class, students will then sign up for an additional four
hours of individual instruction in June with Susan to complete their bench (36” x 13” x 19”).

Crafting Calm
Spend the evening crafting your way into a zen state of mind. Research has shown that crafting can “lower your heart rate, blood
pressure and improve sleep” (Martha Steward Living, November 2012) and can “also ease stress, increase happiness and
protect the brain from damage caused by aging” (CNN Health,
January 5, 2015).
Participants will make a leather container, clay aromatherapy
necklace and painted stones (using Zentangle designs).
