"Kemp Connection" classes are a new offering of the Kemp Center for the Arts. Linking interested persons to artisans in our community, these classes are most often subjects that cannot easily be taught at the Kemp Center due to time, space, or equipment limitations. All instructors are known to the Kemp; many have taught classes at the Kemp at some point in the past. Generally speaking, Kemp Connection classes are introductory in nature, with the intention that future instruction will be arranged directly between the student and the teacher.
