Pour Painting August

Those pour painting videos are totally addictive! Come make your very own and we’ll clean up the mess! 2 canvas boards per person can be used. We’ll also provide a large variety of colors and finishes to make your painting stand out.

Try-It: Ceramics August

Want to experiment with clay? Join us for an introduction, discovery, and exploration to wheel and hand-building techniques. No take-home projects in this class. As it is purely an exploration workshop.

Games with Friends-Scrabble

Fridays are for FUN. Sign up to join a lovely group of friends for an afternoon of competition. Scrabble- two to four players score points by placing tiles, each bearing a single letter, onto a game board divided into a 15×15 grid of squares. The tiles must form words that, in crossword fashion, read left to right in rows or downward in columns and are included in a standard dictionary or lexicon.

Dole Bridge Club

Join us for an afternoon of party bridge. Bridge has been the favorite card game to many notable Oak Park residents including Elizabeth Cheney (of Cheney Mansion). Join your fellow Bridge enthusiasts for an afternoon of card etiquette and serious gameplay in a relaxing environment. No partner is needed. These are all one-day registrations.

The Children’s Train

Join us for a movie with friends at the Dole Center. Enjoy good company and a new feature film each week. Titles are listed on our registration software, Amilia (may be subject to change). Feel free to bring some snacks. After the film, stay for a friendly critique and discussion. These are all one-day registrations.
