Enroll in Family Papier Mache Piñata Workshop
In this sometimes-messy, always hands-on class you’ll learn the basic steps to creating a papier mache project. We’ll start small to introduce the planning, prep, and finish of a modest art piece, such as a simple mask or wall art. Next, we’ll put those skills to work on your family piñata that you will complete and take home by the end of our winter session. A couple of techniques will be introduced with time to practice. No experience is necessary and all supplies (except what, if anything, you choose to put inside your piñata) will be provided. We request that children younger than 11 bring an adult to assist.
New Session: Due to popular demand, we are adding a 10am session for the Family Papier Maché Piñata Workshop. If you are on the wait-list, currently enrolled, or otherwise interested, please arrive a few minutes early to the 10am or 11am class and talk to the front desk.

Philosophy ⇧
Instructor: PLATO Philosophy
Ages: 12 – 16
Minimum class size: 8
Maximum class size: 15
$185
Enroll in Philosophy
How do you know something? What is friendship? Children ask philosophical questions that explore the human condition all the time. Thinking about these questions in a community of inquiry bolsters students’ abilities to listen, reason deeply about their values and assumptions; construct sound and valid arguments; and evaluate the arguments of others while respecting perspectives different from their own – skills essential to becoming critical, creative, and analytic thinkers. Each class, I will present a prompt that encourages questioning, reflection, and discussion, allowing students to philosophize collaboratively.

Enroll in The Game of Go
Join the Seattle Go Center for a series of introduction lectures and play time aimed at teaching newer players the ancient game of Go and forming basic strategies. Go is an ancient Asian strategy game that is fun for both beginners and experts. We start out with small boards and simple instructions, and progress to the full territory-based game in a few classes. Since the game is easily handicapped, beginning players have an even chance of winning against more experienced and stronger players. This keeps the game fun for all.
