Classes for Two

Community Education Programs and the Fab Lab are joining forces to offer customized classes for two who want to learn and create together.

In Wine Appreciation and Glass Etching, one person will take a class in the Fab Lab, etching custom wineglasses, while the other person is in NCC’s kitchen, learning about wine and food from Blue Ridge Wineries sommelier Michel Emerick.

The classes will be held simultaneously on Feb. 12, 6:30-9:30 p.m., at the Fowler Family Southside Center, 511 E. Third St., Bethlehem.

After the two courses conclude, everyone will regroup in the Beverage Training Center on the fifth floor to share new knowledge and creations and enjoy wine in new glasses.

Each person must register separately to attend. Students must be 21 years or older to enroll. The fee is $99 per person.
