Art classes taught by Jo Ann Brown at Senior Center

Homewood Senior Center will offer a new art class beginning in January. Recently retired Edgewood Elementary teacher Jo Ann Brown will facilitate this class for adults age 55 and up.

Brown holds three different Alabama teacher certifications, one of which is art. In addition to her 27 years of teaching experience with children, Brown is also accustomed to working with the older population. She oversees the care of her 89-year-old mother and has taught classes for groups in which her mother has been involved.

Now retired, Brown is looking forward to applying her career skills as she shares her love of clay with members of the Senior Center.

Projects created in the class will be suitable for display and gift-giving. Participants will hand-build objects of clay and glaze them for firing in the kiln. Classes will be held on Mondays at 2:15 p.m. starting in mid-January and are free to Senior Center members. Space is limited, so those interested should call Center Director Aimee Thornton at 332-6502 to register for the class.
