URBAN BEEKEEPING

GLUTEN-FREE GOURMET

MAKE & PLAY THE SHEKERE

Noah Wilson-Rich Ph. D. Founder & Chief Scientific Officer

Edgar Ievins Private Chef; chefedgar.com

Bill Mitkoff Musician & Instrument Maker

Get on board with a do-it-yourself trend that’s so hot the New York Times is abuzz with excitement about it! You will learn how to pick a location for a hive, set-up techniques, the best way to manage your new army, how to extract honey, and creative ideas for your harvest.

Every student will make and take home a beehive frame (the structure that holds the comb within the hive) and a jar of all-natural beeswax lip balm, along with a jar of honey when it’s in season!

We will suggest alternatives to meals customarily containing wheat, such as sauces, pie crusts and breads, identify hidden sources of gluten commonly found in commercially available products, and make suggestions for restaurant ordering.

Learn to make and play the shekere, a beautiful and ancient percussion instrument made out of a hollow gourd covered by a woven net of colorful beads. We’ll discuss the cultural importance and history of the shekere, listen to shekere musicians from around the world, and, in our final class, learn how to play our new instrument. A $40 materials fee is payable to the instructor at the first class.

CLASSIC SPANISH TAPAS

VEGETARIAN MALAY COOKING

Rafael Pereira Chef

Malaysian food is a delectable fusion of diverse cultures: Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Baba. As you learn to prepare its fantastically varied dishes, which appeal to a wide range of palates, you will also gain insight into the country’s culture and social structure. Dishes will include popiah (steamed spring rolls), rojak (fruit and vegetable salad in a special sauce), sayur lodeh (coconut vegetable stew), and pulut hitam (sticky black glutinous rice pudding).

Tapas were originally served in the roadhouses of southern Spain as inducements to hot, thirsty travelers. These tantalizing little dishes of olives, meats, vegetables, and shellfish concoctions must be accompanied by glasses of wine or sherry and lively conversation among friends. Together, we will recreate the convivial atmosphere (complete with glasses of sangria) while we enjoy mussels in a sherry vinaigrette with capers, sausage with sweet and sour pears, shrimp with roasted garlic, bacalao (salt cod) fritters with apple aioli, chicken in escabeche sauce, olive and manchego cheese empanadas (turnovers), cuminflavored baby carrot salad, Spanish tortilla, and more!

EXPERIENCE PARIS THROUGH GREAT WRITING NEW Jamie Cox Robertson Author & Editor, A Literary Paris “You start at a café table, because everything in Paris starts at a café table.” With these words, Irwin Shaw captured the Paris he knew.

But Hemingway, Colette, Kerouac, and Zola had their own distinct observations and peculiar opinions of this great city, which they captured in carefully chosen words and evocative imagery. Using the anthology A Literary Paris, we will read and discuss excerpts of works by these writers as well as Baldwin, White, Maupassant, Sedaris, and Twain. We will look at each author’s ability to provide the reader with an authentic sense of the City of Light. We will also discuss Paris as it was during the time each piece was written.

BACK BAY DECONSTRUCTED CAMBRIDGE IN 1775: A WALKING TOUR

Jake Sconyers

Charles Bahne Boston Historian

Looking around at the cultural institutions located in Copley Square or the public art along the Commonwealth Avenue Promenade, it is hard to imagine that the Back Bay was once a trash and sewage filled lagoon.

The story of the Back Bay is a comprehensive look at Boston’s history, exploring geography, immigration, and technology. By examining this Victorian era transformation, we will link Winthrop’s Puritans and the effects of the American Revolution to Boston’s iconic twentieth century skyscrapers.

Cambridge was the focus of both military and political activity at the dawn of the American Revolution. Redcoats marched through the town on their way to Lexington and Concord; two months later, generals met in Harvard Square to plan for the Battle of Bunker Hill. Here George Washington formed the Continental Army, won his first victory, and dealt with his first traitor. This tour will view surviving sites of the Revolutionary War in Harvard Square, Harvard Yard, and Brattle Street, and will discuss events that occurred elsewhere in Cambridge between 1774 and 1778. In case of extreme weather, call the Cambridge Center at 617-547-6789 for information and rain date.

CELEBRATING WOMEN’S SEXUALITY LATER IN LIFE: A WORKSHOP FOR WOMEN Anita Hoffer PhD, Ed.D. A common misconception in our youth-obsessed culture is that when women reach 50 they lose interest in or cannot enjoy intimate physical relationships. In addition, the cultural taboo on talking openly about sex in our society leaves women ignorant of the sexual behaviors of their peers and self-conscious of their own sexual concerns. We will explore the themes of sexuality and new opportunities for celebrating it as we age, as well as the many lifelong benefits of remaining sexually active.

This can deprive us of rich, ongoing opportunities for personal growth by interfering with conscious reframing of the lifelong meaning of “good sex.” In this workshop, we will explore the phenomenon of medicalization of female sexuality using video clips from the provocative and hilarious documentary “Orgasm, Inc.” as a jumping off point for lively group discussion.

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, THE FOUNDING FATHERS, AND AFRICAN AMERICANS Rafael Pereira M.A., SUNY Binghamton The 1776 Declaration of Independence states that “all men are created equal,” yet the author of that lofty phrase, Thomas Jefferson, was himself a slave owner. Given that slavery and freedom are antithetical, how can one explain the contradiction between the stated creed and actual reality? Was this contradiction the reason why most blacks who fought during the Revolutionary War were on the side of the British?

What did the founding fathers really think about slavery? Were any of them anti-slavery? How, in turn, did African Americans help shape the “contagion of liberty”? Did the slave insurrections of the early 19th century highlight the failure of the Revolution? Ultimately, in trying to answer these questions, we will explore themes at the core of American nationality and life.

WALKING TOURS CAMBRIDGE IN 1775: A WALKING TOUR Charles Bahne Boston Historian Cambridge was the focus of both military and political activity at the dawn of the American Revolution. Redcoats marched through the town on their way to Lexington and Concord; two months later, generals met in Harvard Square to plan for the Battle of Bunker Hill. Here George Washington formed the Continental Army, won his first victory, and dealt with his first traitor. This tour will view surviving sites of the Revolutionary War in Harvard Square, Harvard Yard, and Brattle Street, and will discuss events that occurred elsewhere in Cambridge between 1774 and 1778.

LIFE, TIMES, AND IDEAS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN Rafael Pereira M.A., SUNY Binghamton Abraham Lincoln is by far the most revered American president, and indeed more has been written about him in the US than anyone else, with the exception of Jesus. On the basis of recent historical research, we can finally present a comprehensive portrait of his personal life, political ideas, and historical context. By tracing the arc of his life, from a gifted, poor child to a lawyer on the prairie to a national politician, we will try to understand the development of his inner world, public persona, and family life.

A vast and deepening instability threatens contemporary civilization — stretching like a sword against the throat of the world. It pits Muslim against Christian, secular against religious, Sunni against Shia, Arab against Persian, globalization against Islam, Russia against the West, and multiculturalism against tradition. Join us to examine each of these nations, why they are in upheaval, the threat posed to the contemporary world, and what might be done to avert catastrophe.

EXTRAORDINARY POETRY

Claudia Stumpf Ph.D. Candidate, Tufts University

Michael Koran Author of Verse to Better; M.A., University of Chicago

Jane Austen is endlessly popular — from 19th-century “Janites” to 20th century BBC adaptations and Hollywood blockbusters. This class will consider four of Jane Austen’s novels and what we can learn from them when we look beyond the romance. We will read the four novels that were published in Austen’s lifetime and discuss the role of such controversial topics as sex, money, colonialism, marriage, and social class — as well as asking how convincing the love stories are!

Let’s read aloud some of the greatest poems ever written ― including those by Whitman, Dickinson, Shakespeare, Rilke, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Keats, Yeats, Frost, Stevens, and Bishop. We’ll explore how words, sounds, pauses, rhymes, lines, humor, and meaning contribute to a poem’s beauty and truth. Join us on a poetic journey that will move us to sense, understand, and live poetic moments that help create poetic lives.

THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV NEW Judith Wynn Freelance Newspaper & Magazine Writer Fyodor Dostoevsky was one of the most profound and subtle psychologists in the field of the novel. His passionate work combines keen realism with an uncanny insight into the nightmarish side of human nature. Dostoevsky’s crowning achievement, The Brothers Karamazov, was intended to be the first half of a Russian moral epic he did not live to complete. Dostoevsky throws all of his experience — as philosophical thinker, political commentator, devout Christian, compulsive gambler, literary showman, loyal husband, and loving father — into this largerthan-life murder mystery. Join us as we read this spell-binding novel which inspired writers as varied as Freud, D.H. Lawrence, Joyce Carol Oates, and George Saunders.

But Hemingway, Colette, Kerouac, and Zola had their own distinct observations and peculiar opinions of this great city, which they captured in carefully chosen words and evocative imagery.

Using the anthology A Literary Paris, we will read and discuss excerpts of works by these writers as well as Baldwin, White, Maupassant, Sedaris, and Twain. We will look at each author’s ability to provide the reader with an authentic sense of the City of Light. We will also discuss Paris as it was during the time each piece was written.

JUMPSTARTING YOUR SUMMER WRITING PROJECTS

WRITING FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE: WEEKEND WORKSHOP

Kendall Dudley Lifeworks Career & Life Design, lifeworkscareers.com

Mopsy Strange Kennedy Book Reviewer for The Improper Bostonian & Therapist

As writers, we are faced with getting started on the big idea whether it is from our own life story, a story someone has told us, or an idea that has flown in through the transom. Poised with the whole summer before us, it’s time to dive in lest momentum be lost. In this splash course, you’ll choose from an array of story ideas generated by yourself and others, and using free writing and other tools, begin writing. We’ll also set strategies for keeping the writing going over the rest of the summer.

This boot camp will explore the instructor’s approach to memoir in an intensive format over a weekend. Join us to concentrate on two genres using the first person. The “Lives” column in The New York Times and “My Turn” in Newsweek both make use of the writer’s own self, though the topic may be an external one. Books such as Intoxicated by My Illness by Anatole Broyard and Lit by Mary Karr use fiction techniques to tell a story that is nevertheless the writer’s own. The shaping of scenes, the writing of dialogue, and the use of pungent, telling detail will be emphasized so that the story is cinematically vivid, and the writer is interestingly revealed. We will write in class, and then discuss.

JOURNEY INTO THE MIND: CREATIVE FICTION WORKSHOP Katia Kapovich Writer, Editor & Professor of Slavic Studies Vladimir Nabokov once said: “There are three points of view from which a writer can be considered: He may be considered as a storyteller, as a teacher, and as an enchanter.” Writers often overemphasize the narrative and teaching aspects of our craft. For as different as it may be to write a short story versus a novel or memoir, when successful, all three writing forms share one thing in common: a spellbinding tale.

DRAWING WITH COLOR

PORTRAIT PAINTING (STUDIO SCHOOL)

Ellen Stutman Artist, ellenstutman.com

Brett Gamache Artist & Art Instructor, brettgamache.com

Usually we think of drawing as using line to express the forms we see.

This course will focus on using color shapes to help us understand and draw the forms we see. We will focus on color mixing, using warm and cool colors to create volume, separating objects by showing differences in value, and issues of composition. We will use oil pastels, pastels, or colored pencils―concentrating on the strengths that color itself gives to our drawing. Some drawing experience is useful but not necessary.

We will study the structure of the head by doing studies of a skull and using the information from that structure to better understand the head’s complexities. With the use of models, we will do various exercises — both quick and longer-term — to analyze the face and its relationship to the entire head. We will discuss color as it relates to skin tones and begin to find out where “likeness” comes from. Drawing and painting experience is required.

This spring, The Cambridge Center proudly presents the return of Raise the Roof, an exhibition of work by CCAE teachers and students, current and past. We will exhibit more than 250 works of art by more than 100 artists at all stages in their careers — from the most accomplished to the complete beginner. All work is on display in our two historic buildings at 42 and 56 Brattle Street, and is offered for sale to the public; proceeds are split between the artist and the Center. We will use our share to underwrite our exhibition program. For more information, visit ccae.org/raisetheroof.

Meet the Artists Thursday, July 17, 6-7:30pm

Don’t miss this year’s “crop” of artists, who will be featured in Community Supported Art (CSArt). Each year, nine artists are selected to create original works of art in limited editions of 50, which are then sold to lucky shareholders. Much like you can purchase shares to receive vegetables, fish, or other local products over the growing season, CSArt shareholders pay $300 to receive nine works of art in three installments. Come see the stunning work of this year’s participating artists. Shares will be on sale until they sell out.

Upcoming this Fall!

OUR TEACHING ARTISTS: A CCAE FACULTY EXHIBITION September – December, 2014

All exhibitions are located at 42 Brattle Street; they are free and open to the public during the office hours.

Teacher Close-up Name: Laurie Savage What do you teach at CCAE? I’m going on my 15th year teaching jewelry making at CCAE. From Beginning Jewelry Weekend Workshops to Advanced Studio weekly classes, I’ve built a cohesive program where many of my students have been taking my classes regularly since I began my tenure, which makes me very proud.

What path brought you here?

I always wanted to be a teacher, both of my parents were teachers and it seemed like the natural path for me to follow. As an artist, it wasn’t an easy path to say the least, but I’m happy with the choices I’ve made. What brought me to CCAE specifically was a recommendation from a friend who said CCAE was an amazing place, and I agreed!

What excites you most about your work and the contribution you can make?

What excites me most about my work... as an artist… is transforming metal and numerous alternative materials to create unique wearable art, for individuals and corporations alike. It’s about the struggle of formalizing a design, wrestling with the process, changing it up when necessary, then relishing in the victorious outcome. That happens almost every time I create a piece, since I rarely make the same piece twice. What excites me most about my work, as a jewelry teacher... is the feeling I get when I have an unconfident student who has never done any metal working before. As soon as I show them how to do something they could never have dreamed of being able to do, and they create something beautiful... it’s the first little smile that comes across their face when they finish a piece... that makes me feel so proud that I’ve helped them feel so good about themselves. And when I have an advanced student pull off a complicated piece all by themselves, that’s when I think that I’ve successfully been a good mentor. The passion I have for what I do is infectious, and to be able to pass along my knowledge to others is like a special kind of therapy.

Where did you grow up and why aren’t you there now?

I grew up in New Jersey and moved to Boston in 1994 for college (MassArt). After receiving my BFA in 1998, I was hired in the Alumni / Development Office at MassArt where I worked for 12 years producing special events, most notably, the annual benefit art auction. All along, I was also teaching at CCAE and maintaining my private studio business.

What would be impossible for you to give up?

My art, which includes my jewelry making and my teaching as well.

What is your favorite hangout in Harvard Square?

Grendel’s Den!!!

What class would you like to take at the Center?

If I had ANY spare time, I would take Michel L’Huillier’s Fused & Stained Glass classes, Figurative Sculpture with Sholeh Regna, Foreign Language classes, and Dance.

“Stan Edelson’s classes are a lifeline for me. Once I get into the classroom I get this refreshed feeling. It feels like I’m going to see a play, but I’m actually in it!”

— Brian Taylor

YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN CCAE cannot charge every student the real cost of his or her class. If we did, we would lose both the diversity of our participants and the range of our coursework, not to mention the special intimate experience that brings the wonder of lifelong learning.

The CCAE experience can’t be gleaned from books and the Internet. We offer the warmth of community and measure success in individuals encouraged, friendships forged, connections made.

To make a donation, please visit CCAE.org/donate or call 617.547.6789.

Brian Taylor has been taking classes in acting, directing and playwriting at CCAE since 1999.

Community Supported Art 2014 Buy fresh, local art with Community Supported Art 2014

VASES BY HOLLY HERRING

CSArt, the award-winning program that connects local artists to local buyers at an affordable price, is back in 2014!

CSArt is modeled on the community supported agriculture programs that have flourished across the country for the past 20 years. Like community supported agriculture, CSArt links producers – in this case, artists – with consumers who buy shares and receive deliveries of art this fall.

Rather than vegetables or other edibles, CSArt shareholders receive nine original works of art. Nine artists from the Greater Boston area have been selected by a jury that includes representatives from the Cambridge Arts Council, the Somerville Arts Council, former CSArtists and CCAE. Each one has created original artwork for this program.

Over the past three years CSArt has sold 1,350 original works of art by 27 local artists!

3POT CUBE DAN PARET

How to Get Your Share Each CSArt share costs $300.

Shareholders receive all nine works of art — at a fantastic value — from emerging and mid-career artists; develop relationships with local artists; discover new artists; meet their fellow shareholders; and explore a variety of disciplines.

No more than 50 shares will be sold to keep the series special. Past works have included small sculptures, prints, lithographs, acrylic paintings, drawings, jewelry and fused glass. CSArt features unique art, not commercial, massproduced articles. That’s what makes it special.

Artwork will be delivered at “harvest” parties, to give shareholders and the general public the opportunity to meet the artists and each other.

To buy your share, go to www.ccae.org/csart/shares/ Only 50 shares will be sold. Don’t wait!
