Dungeons & Dragons Club for Teens
About
The Carrollwood Cultural Center will start a Dungeons & Dragons club for teens, ages 14 to 17, in January 2019.
Interested teens, including beginners, are invited to drop in for a game. The cost to participate is $4 per person per game. The Center’s goal is to schedule the club to meet once or twice a week. A final schedule will be published in January. The group will be led by brothers Matthew and Jamie Jones.
The club is in response to a theatre roll-playing class that the Center offered in 2018. The instructor, Matthew Jones, used the popular game to teach students about character development and storytelling. At the conclusion of the class, Jones and his students continued to meet at the Center and a club started to form. After meeting three times in late 2018, they are looking to expand by inviting other teens to join the group.

WHEEL THROWING
Students will learn the basics of wheel throwing by forming and throwing simple shapes on the potter’s wheel. More advanced students will build upon the basics to create larger, more advanced projects. Please Note: Working with the wheel requires moderate upper body strength, using shoulders, arms, and hands to mold and shape clay.
Weeks 1-4 are for creating, and weeks 5-6 are for glazing. Break week is for firing. Finalized pieces can be picked up the first week of the next session at your last class time, even if you are not registered for the next session. Notice will be sent out to all students once the firings are complete.

Ballet classes, especially for older women, are booming in other areas of the world. Below is a video of a program called My Ballet filmed at The Bull Hotel in Dorset, England. It showcases what the Center’s “Ballet for Joy & Vitality” is all about.
