Class: Watercolors
Apr 6 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
 In this 2-hour, beginner-friendly Contracommon art class, learn about the supplies and techniques used for painting in watercolors! Contrary to a typical “paint and sip” style class, this lesson will be focused on individual experimentation rather than a prescriptive “how to make this picture”. During the first half of class time the instructor will introduce the class to the different materials and why some will suit your artistic needs better then others. In the second hour, attendees are encouraged to play with the different papers and get a feel for how they change the painting experience. A variety of paper types will be available for your use in a postcard size so that you can experience different thicknesses and textures. After the initial introduction, free-spirit students are welcome to freestyle and paint what they want while asking questions when they get stuck. Students who need more structure will be provided step by step exercises to practice.

Total Solar Eclipse 1:35pm
1:35 pm
Total Solar Eclipse 1:35pm
Apr 8 @ 1:35 pm – 1:38 pm
 While many people struggle to make plans even just a few months in advance, space enthusiasts in Central Texas are already marking their calendars for the year 2024. On April 8, 2024, a total eclipse will be viewable for the heart of Texas. If you need a quick astronomy refresher, don’t worry. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth. When the moon blocks the entire sun, a total solar eclipse occurs. This is different from a partial solar eclipse where the moon does not entirely block the sun. Many residents throughout Central Texas will be able to view the solar eclipse, but the best viewing spots within the Central Texas area will be west of Interstate 35. Residents in Lakeway will experience about 3 minutes and 16 seconds of the total solar eclipse at 1:35 p.m. According to the American Astronomical Society, the brightness from a total solar eclipse is comparable to that of a full moon and is safe to look at. However, it is unsafe to stare directly at the sun leading up to and after the total eclipse has occurred. Therefore, it is important to use a filter, such as special eclipse glasses. Make sure you buy some well in advance! While it is exciting to know Central Texans will get a front-row seat for this event, it’s important to note that the forecast for that day will play a crucial role in whether the eclipse will be viewable. Naturally, a cloudy day would make it difficult to observe the phenomenon.

Apr 25 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am
 Join us for a relaxing Sound Bath meditative experience in which musical instruments like singing bowls are used to relax, realign and re-energize the body and mind. Participants gather around these musical instruments while the instructor guides her students into a deep, calming state. The term “bath” is used because participants are bathing in the sound as well as the vibrations the sound waves put off. These vibrations are incredibly calming as well, with the goal being to help stimulate your body into restoration as well as clearing out any negative emotions or energies that serve you no purpose. Please bring a mat and any other items you might need to feel comfortable such as a pillow, blanket, or eye mask.
