Clark Wilson is one of the most prominent and recognized scorers of silent photoplays in America today. He works exclusively with the unit orchestra in developing accurate and historic musical accompaniments as they were performed in major motion picture palaces during the heyday of the silent film. Wilson began his scoring career in 1980 and has successfully toured with hundreds of film presentations at schools and universities, concert halls and performing arts centers, theatres, film festivals, and conventions. He is the organist of choice for many of the American Theatre Organ Society’s international convention silent-film presentations, has performed at American Guild of Organists and Organ Historical Society conventions and the East Texas Pipe Organ Festival, and has scored pictures for Kino International for public DVD release. He currently enjoys creating scores for (and working with Suzanne Lloyd on the presentation of) classic Harold Lloyd comedies. His work has encompassed North America, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Wilson was presented with the American Theatre Organ Society’s Organist of the Year award in 1998. A successful organ technician, tonal finisher, and consultant, he runs his own organ shop and has been professionally involved with over 200 pipe organ installations to date. Most recently, he has headed projects to save and transplant a late Aeolian-Skinner instrument from Ohio State University, and to relocate a large Wurlitzer organ to Ohio Dominican University in Columbus. He has earned the ATOS Technician of Merit award, the first of only two persons ever to receive both ATOS distinctions. My Best Girl , released in 1924, is a classic romantic comedy in every aspect. The shopgirl (played by Mary Pickford) falls in love with the shop owner's son (played by Charles Buddy Rogers). Their journey will bring both a smile to your face and a tear to your eye. Clark will cue the film using his original score at the Graif's Allen GW-4Q digital unit orchestra. If you have never experienced viewing a silent film cued by a consummate musician, you must not miss this event! You can also enjoy Clark interpreting the music of Burton Lane here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PboRVTTO3bc Information Source: The Susan A. & Joseph N. Graif Foundation Inc. | eventbrite

Wenzel Hablik was a Czech-born painter and designer who worked in Germany, during and after the Great War. When he was 6, Wenzel Hablik stared deep into a crystal he’d discovered in his hometown of Brüx. Inside, he saw “magical castles and mountains” that would haunt the artwork, architecture, and design of this polymath Czech artist for the rest of his life, and in those natural crystalline forms, he saw the power of creative forces. Concomitantly, Pierre Chareau was a French architect and designer, whose most prominent work is a single-family house with a translucent facade composed of glass bricks that was completed in the Interwar Period. Chareau's belief that architecture should transcend mere functionality and become an expression of the human spirit is clearly illustrated by his quote A house is not a machine to live in. It is the shell of man, his extension, his release, his spiritual emanation. Unsurprisingly, the social context of the time in which both of these artists worked and the instability created by the war in Europe had a tremendous impact on the work created. The Modernist movement was sweeping across various disciplines, casting aside traditional constraints and offering a fresh perspective that emphasized function, simplicity, and a harmonious relationship between form and purpose. Both Hablik and Chareau share an interest in utopian architecture, or better said, in understanding the relationship between social issues and architecture. Both artists are idealists, believing that humanity’s greatest achievements will arise from careful consideration of how architecture could embody the aspirations of an industrial age while promoting societal well-being.

We will be doing a fun Spring Time theme set that tastes amazing and will look even better once you’ve completed your decorating! We provide everything you will need from cookies, icing, sprinkles, and a box to take your awesome creations home in - we just need YOU! This class is on April 19th from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm so we can have enough time to decorate and ask questions along the way. Come by yourself, bring your best friend, or bring the family - we have seating up to 20 people! It's a blast whether you're coming with a friend, family member, or solo! This class is good for ages 8+, but if you'd like to leave the kiddos at home, purchase an add-on kit! The kits are great for kids and you'll be able to re-create what you did in class with them! The class will be held at the amazing Local Lex Market in Lexington, Kentucky located at 439 Southland Drive, Lexington, KY 40503 . Parking is free and easy! FAQ What will I be doing in the class? Besides having the most fun ever? We will be going over some cookie facts, decorating techniques and you will be decorating your very own set of cookies that you will take home with you that day. Do you offer a virtual class? At this time, we do not offer virtual classes - but if you're interested, please email us for information on private in-person classes! Can I purchase an additional take-home kit? Yes! Many parents or practicing cookiers purchase additional class kits to take home and re-do the classes. You can purchase an add-on kit during check-out. Your kit will be available at the end of your class - so don't forget it! BONUS - if you purchase the add on kit you will receive the class instructional information as well to help you walk through decorating the cookies. Do I need to know how to bake? Nope!

You’ll learn what goes into preparing royal icing, the value of different icing consistencies, how to color icing, and tricks to fill piping bags (believe me, it’s harder than it looks). You’ll also learn different decorating techniques such as marbling, outlining, wet-on-wet, brush embroidery, and painting. Techniques will vary depending on the class and can be customized to your needs. What do I need to bring? Nothing! Everything will be provided for you including our rather tasty sugar cookies. All you need to do is join us and have fun! Messy decorator? You can bring your own apron or just wear easy-to-wash clothing. There is a PowerPoint, so if you wear glasses, we'd encourage you to bring them as well. What age is best for cookie classes? Our classes are for almost any age! From youngsters to grandparents - come on in and have some cookie fun with us! Our in-person classes are great for any age; however, kiddos under 12 will need a parent taking the class as well. If you think your child may be too young to enjoy the in-person class, purchase an additional take-home kit! A great way you can teach your kids in the comfort of your own home. Can just my child take the class? We ask that all parents also attend the classes with their children under 12. For children over 12, you can drop off your child to take the class and return to pick-up in 1.5 hours. Due to COVID space restrictions, we do not have room for parents to stand by and watch their children in class. So unfortunately, no - your child cannot take the class alone, a parent must also purchase a ticket and take the class as well - but we can promise you this - it's super fun for all involved! What will I bring home? By the end of the class, you will have created a set of gorgeous cookies ready to dry for 24-48 hours in their own box. And of course, you’ll have new skills, memories, and fun! Can I sign up as an individual or as a group? You can sign up either as an individual, with a friend, or with a whole group.

This class will be held at the Local Lex Market in Lexington, Kentucky, the address is - 439 Southland Drive, Lexington, KY 40503 I signed up for a class but can't make it? :( We understand that life happens so that’s why we allow you to cancel up to 7 days before the class.

Please read below for our COVID-19 Cancellation Policies. About Sugar Cookie Classes! Who doesn't love getting out and doing something fun while also eating delicious cookies!? That’s what Sugar Cookie Classes is all about! Our classes are based in Central Kentucky and cater to the beginner cookier or people just looking to have fun learning a new skill. Whether you just want a fun date, a girls-night-out or just want to explore what cookie decorating is on your own- we have a seat for you. For our classes, all you will need to bring is yourself (and an apron if you are a messy decorator), and we take care of the rest. If you'd like, grab an apron, and bring eyeglasses so you can see the instructional PowerPoint. You will get a set of pre-baked cookies (pretty tasty if I do say so myself) as well as all the supplies you will need to decorate them. Our classes are an hour and a half, and that will give us enough time to decorate the cookies and answer any questions along the way. You will leave the class with your very own box of your very own newly decorated cookies! We have classes throughout the year which highlight different themes so make sure to follow our Facebook page so you can get in on the cookie action! Covid / General Cancellation Policy for In-Person Classes: While Kentucky is dealing with an up-tick in Covid cases, we have implemented a Covid-cancellation policy. Note - our classes no longer require masks for vaccinated individuals. Our classes follow the current recommendation by the Kentucky government and health organizations. You will not be required to wear a mask throughout the class; however, you can choose to wear a mask if you'd like! We provide masks, hand sanitizer, disinfectant, and wipes for attendees. Each station is disinfected along with the venue. Showing Symptoms Before 7 Days Out: If you’re sick prior to the 7-day refund cutoff, you can cancel for a full refund!

You Don't Show Up Or Email Prior To Class: If we do not hear from you before your class’s start time, and you do not show up for class, we won’t be able to offer you a refund or a credit regardless if you're sick. So please reach out to us if you’re feeling sick before class starts! Add a Sugar Cookie Class Kit to your Order! Order your sugar cookie class kit and take the class home with you to teach a child or friend! Our class kits come with everything you'll use in class! Sugar Cookie Kits are created before your class and you'll pick them up and take them with you after class. How long can a kit last? Depending on how you store your icing, your kits can last for a week or longer. Freezing cookies keep them fresh for a long time, but we recommend using your kit as soon as possible - ideally in the first week after you've taken it home. Allergens : Eggs, gluten, and nuts are present in the kitchen used to bake these cookies and icing. Please consider your allergies before registering. Eventbrite Fees : Your ticket price includes your Eventbrite fees; however, Eventbrite does not refund its fees. If you cancel your ticket for a refund, we'll give you a refund less the Eventbrite fee - since we don't get this back either. Eventbrite keeps it regardless of whether you show up or cancel. :( Information Source: A Traveling Cupcake | eventbrite
