ST.

Classes consist of three two-hour sessions once a week. Two experienced class leaders conduct the series. There is no charge to attend, though donations for materials are accepted.
Classes will be held at The Whitcomb, 509 Ship St., St. Joseph, from 2 to 4 p.m. Tuesdays for three weeks beginning Jan. 17.
