Cooking classes - Are you just learning how to boil water or are you an experienced foodie? Upper Cape Technical School (UCT) offers adults cooking classes. We will be learning to cook Italian, Asian, Middle Eastern/Mediterranean, seafood and comfort food. Classes are held all season long!
Writer's group - Whether you are writing the great American novel, a spy thriller, your life story or putting your pen to poetry. Share ideas about writing, publishing, and discuss your favorite writers.
Hand Crafted Paper Cards - Did you know that the first greeting cards were New Year’s cards and Valentines? We'll make three beautifully handcrafted and decorated seasonal cards. We use paper, rubber stamps, colored markers, ink pad, and ribbons to create these gems. Workshops are held once per month.
