From the Center,

It’s that time of year again when we think about new beginnings-and all the things we can do to make our lives happier, healthier, and more rewarding. January is a great time to sit down and prioritize your life and decide what is important to you. I’ve discovered with age that simplifying and down sizing has helped to make me a happier and more productive mom, wife and person. I have also committed myself to do the little things that I enjoy such as yoga, walking and pottery. This simple time that I slow down each week is reflected in my household and general attitude toward life. I feel so grateful to be in a profession that allows me to create and share with others. Because of my own personal experience, I encourage you to choose one or more classes we have offered to enrich your life. It’s surprising how contagious being happy and content can be. Look into your future this 2009 and carve out some special time for yourself. Next time you stop by the center introduce yourself to Melanie Williams, our new intern.Melanie joined our staff in late September; however she is no stranger to the craft center, Melanie has taken pottery classes with us for years. She is a very talented and creative person who I’m sure you will enjoy getting to know. City employees remember the Knoxville Arts and Fine Crafts Center has a special rate for you. Show us your city I.D. and receive $10.00 off your next fitness class. Hope to See You!
