Have Fun Watercolor Painting (and Sketching)

Whether you have never used watercolors before or have used them some, this class will help you to overcome any frustrations or anxieties you may feel about using watercolors, and will show you how fun and easy it can be! It also doesn’t matter if you believe you “can’t draw” because simple basic sketching will be covered so you can combine sketching and painting with watercolors. This class is about learning to enjoy doing artwork, not about becoming a master artist. We will cover the basics about watercolors with practice time for everyone, and there will be plenty of demos by the instructor. You will find out that watercolor painting is not as hard as some people think and that you can easily correct mistakes. We will also talk about the joy of taking simple art supplies with you everywhere you go so you can create a sketchbook full of memories. Students may bring whatever supplies they would like to for the first class but that is not required. The instructor will lend you everything you may need for that class. (Supplies will be discussed and suggested, and students will be expected to bring some supplies of their own for the other classes).

WordPress: Customization

Part of the appeal of WordPress is that there are so many free and premium themes available with which you can quickly get a new website up and running. But some people just weren’t made for “cookie cutters.” This class will show you how to adapt a theme to meet your (or your business’) unique needs. Included in this class will be advice on how to modify the visual styling of your WordPress site; how to create “custom post types,” which (among other uses) can help in the creation of a simple online store; and how to more effectively incorporate plugins to further extend the power of your WordPress website.

Math for Shooters

An excellent survey course of the mathematical foundations involved in the shooting sports. Whether we realize it or not, to shoot well, we depend on an understanding of physical laws and the equations they produce. Topics covered include: velocity, kinetic energy, trajectory, ballistic coefficient, angle of fire, mils, radians and others. Arithmetic and basic algebra are all that are needed to improve your shooting. If your math skills are a little rusty, you will be fine. There is no final exam! Emphasis will be placed on answering students’ questions. This is a discussion class more than a lecture class.

Whether you want to explore the “mystique” of fly-fishing or actually catch fish, this course is designed to get you started with confidence on your journey into the world of fly-fishing. You will learn about gear, what to buy and why, etc. On the first class date you will not be expected to bring fishing equipment. However, we will be practicing casting even on the first day. Therefore, if you have a rod, reel and line, plan to bring it. The instructor will have a few extra sets available for use throughout the course if needed.

Folk and Bluegrass Jam Class

Do you want to play folk or bluegrass music with others but are not sure if you are ready or how to go about it? Or maybe you have found the big bluegrass/folk jams to be intimidating or just too fast. This class will emphasize playing music in small and larger groups with gentle speeds and easy rhythms. You will learn to lead or follow along with familiar songs, and how to follow along on new or unfamiliar songs. The main emphasis of this class will be on playing as much music as we can and having fun. So bring your acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, bass, Dobro, fiddle, autoharp, dulcimer, etc. and join us! Students should have access to an instrument to use in class and for practice, a 3-ring binder for handouts and an electronic tuner. Guitar and banjo players should also bring a capo. A capo is optional on the mandolin, but it can be helpful there too. The only prerequisite skill is the ability to change chords smoothly – mostly G, C and D.

Wilderness Navigation Using a Map and Compass: Level 1

A fun and informative course that will teach you how to navigate the backcountry of western Colorado with just a map and compass. GPS is just fine, as long as the geographical and environmental conditions allow for satellite communication. A map and compass work in snow, fog, rain, deep valleys, slot canyons and dense forests and their batteries never die. Topics covered will include UTM grid system, compasses, maps, declination, establishing and following a bearing, coordinate position, and triangulation. This class can be useful to anyone who spends time navigating cross-country and especially useful for those engaged in Search and Rescue operations and those who do not want to be the object of such operations. The “final exam” is a field exercise on the last day of class.

Wilderness Navigation Using GPS

This course is designed for anyone who ventures off the beaten path and intends to rely on a GPS device as a navigational aid. This would include day hikers, single-track enthusiasts, hunters, fishermen, equestrians and even SAR personnel. It is intended as a companion course to Wilderness Navigation Using Map and Compass. In the instructor’s opinion, it’s not enough to follow the “do it this way because that’s the way it’s done” mentality. It is better to know not only the how, but also the WHY when using GPS technology. This is an in-depth course, not just a quick overview. Proficiency with GPS can add to your enjoyment of the backcountry. You will have more fun outdoors if you are not afraid of getting lost! The “final exam” is a field exercise on the last day of class.

The Basics for Digital SLR Cameras

This class is for cameras with interchangeable lenses. This four-hour class will help you learn about your camera, from changing the lens to how the program modes work. This class will also teach you about auto and program modes and why your camera shoots different file types and why you would use them. We will talk about some of the menu settings and how you might want to set yours. We will discuss the different auto focus settings your camera may have, and why one may be better for you than another. I will try to answer any and all questions you have as you are moving forward in the world of digital photography.

Seeing the Light: Learning the Light of Photography

Photography is all about light. Without light, we have no photographs. To be able to get the most out of photography, the artist needs to know and understand light. In this class we will discuss the basic physics of light, the characteristics of light, photographic lighting techniques and the various types of lighting equipment and modifiers on the market today. This class will include serious amateurs and those starting out as professional photographers. This class will includes lecture, demonstration and hands-on shooting. The class will meet at Blaze Studio for two of the three sessions. Students need to bring their digital SLR camera and lenses, as well as tripod flash or strobes, if owned.

TRAVEL

On Your Own in the UK and France

Take the risk, it’s worth it and it’s fun! “If we did it, so can you!” said the instructor. After retiring, she and her husband planned and took four trips to England, Scotland and France all on their own. They discovered places not filled with American tourists in London and Paris and found delightful uncrowded small towns and less visited regions of the UK and France, including quiet beaches and peaceful countryside spots to enjoy. They also discovered uncrowded museums (of all kinds — history, pencil-making, and more), art galleries, parks, shops, cafés and more. They will share some of their specific discoveries with you in this class (lots of lesser-known locations, but also such delights as taking a steam-train ride to an old fishing village in England or seeing beehives on the roof of a church in Paris). You will learn about how they arranged transportation and lodging and will learn how to handle mishaps and get brave enough to go into shops and small cafés in France even if you don’t speak a word of French. You will also be shown how you can plan a trip that matches your own personal interests. Slideshows, memorabilia, personal sketchbooks and handouts with practical suggestions will all be a part of this class.

Welding is a skill used in many trades. In this program students become proficient in stick welding (SMAW), TIG welding (GTAW), oxyacetylene cutting/welding (OFC/OAW), MIG (GMAW) and flux-core welding. Students study welding and cutting, robotics, properties of materials and basic electrical theory. In addition, training includes blueprint reading and fabrication and layout.

The Wildland Fire Management program is the only one of its kind in western Colorado. Taught by career firefighters and incident meteorologists, students will be participating in training components in the classroom, at on-site visits and at field training exercises. Upon completion of this course, students will receive a National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) Training Certificate. Wildland Fire Management (WFM) is any work associated with wildland fires in rural and urban areas. Jobs that include WFM are some of the most challenging and rewarding careers available. Firefighters cannot choose the date, time, location and type of weather to be outdoors, WFM personnel can respond to fires 24/7 in all types of conditions. Large fires are major incidents that often cross jurisdictional boundaries. Local, state, and federal fire agencies have adopted uniform standards, training and operational procedures to better facilitate interagency functionality during fires with multi-agency jurisdiction or response.
