Registration is open for Pellissippi State Community College’s Lifelong Learning classes this summer. Lifelong Learning classes are open to anyone 18 or older and offer the opportunity to stay active, get creative and learn something new.
Have fun with returning favorites such as:
- Beginner Pickleball Clinic: Pickleball brings people of all ages and skill levels to the court. Combining elements of tennis, badminton and pingpong, and played on a badminton-sized court with a paddle and plastic wiffle-style ball, players are close enough to socialize while playing, making it easy to learn and a great game for meeting others. This summer’s beginner clinic with Toe the Line Pickleball Clinics starts Thursday, June 9.
- Basic Digital Photography: Professional nature photographer and instructor Keith Bozeman will teach you how to effectively use the features of your digital camera to take sharper and more professional looking photos. Each week, you will learn various elements of photography including exposure, composition, lighting and color theory with weekly photo assignments for hands-on practice and immediate feedback. Basic Digital Photography begins Tuesday, June 14, and is offered on Zoom.
- Welding for the Hobbyist: Learn how to create your own decorative and functional pieces like tables, shelves, garden art and more in Grace Gish’s five-hour introductory welding class.
