Reminder, class is resuming in a few days at Harbourfront Centre

Linda from the Harbourfront Centre kindly contacted us to remind us (as we posted recently) that there are classes about to start next week.

A very interesting mix of classes: glass blowing, website design, sewing and circus!

Here's a list of the courses, plus a pitch from the Centre:

Harbourfront Centre is pleased to offer a diverse and exciting line-up of contemporary culture courses throughout the winter and spring months. Adults can learn to paint; create their own website; explore the world of circus arts; tour the city’s culinary neighbourhoods; go gallery hopping; make delicious candies and chocolates just in time for Valentine’s Day; attend tea socials; join a book club; take a glass blowing course; and much more! Harbourfront Centre’s Courses & Workshops are affordable and provide a perfect environment for adults to learn or improve skills, and expand their social circle with like-minded individuals at Toronto’s leading arts and cultural centre.

Courses & Workshops begin on January 18, 2009 at Harbourfront Centre, 235 Queens Quay West. Register early as class size is limited. To register or for more information, the public can call 416-973-4093, e-mail learning@harbourfrontcentre.com or visit harbourfrontcentre.com/learn.
