Halloween in Kansas City

Can you believe Halloween is just around the corner?! I have lived all over the country and I've never seen a city get more into Halloween than Kansas City. Communiversity is no exception to the rule either! Here are some of the Halloween classes we are offering this fall:

#1020A Lampwork--Glass Bead Making Halloween Sculptural Beads

Learn to make sculptural beads for Halloween, i.e. ghosts, witches hats, pumpkins, candy corns. This is an advanced beginner’s class, so some previous glass and torch experience is needed. Bring $80 for materials. Denise has been a bead maker for over 7 years; she has taken many lampwork classes over the years from many of the best artists giving classes. She is a member of "GABS" the Glass Artisan Bead Society of Greater Kansas City. Age limit, 14 and older. 2nd class is Basic Stringing.

#1027A The Art of Hardcore Halloween Decorating

Admit it you love Halloween, you dress up for the Trick-or-Treaters, you comb every store in cool Halloween décor, and your friends think your obsession is a little weird. You, my friend, have the heart of a "home haunter" and this class is for you! Learn how to build (and animate) your own life-size Halloween props. Discover many resources for a great Halloween display that you didn’t even knew existed. Walk through a "yard haunt" that last year drew more than 400 neighbors to a single home!

Communiversity Catalog Drive '07

I came in this morning all ready to do the normal things that I do such as, checking emails, calling conveners and most importantly BLOGGING! To my surprise, though, upon walking in Rick (our fearless leader) informed me that I needed to go home, change out of my flip flops and aid him in his delivery of over 8000 Communiversity Catalogs!

I'm going on a field trip! For fun things to do in Kansas City, pick up our new Fall Catalog at most public libraries and lots of random places around town!

Fall Semester '07 at UMKC

Well folks, it's that time of year again... the birds are chirping, its as hot as a sun-of-a-gun outside and the Fall Semester at UMKC is nipping at our heels. As a student and a work study of UMKC, I would be remiss if I said that I wasn't "excited" for this new semester, right?

One thing I can honestly say that I'm excited about is all of the new and exciting classes we are offering this fall at Communiversity! We have great new art classes that range from "The Business of Art" to "The Art of Photoshop" and everything in between.

Are you interested in The Kansas City Roller Derby? Well, the the KC Roller Warriors, KC's own female roller derby team, has been gracious enough to offer a Communiversity Class.

Are you a Halloween fanatic? We have two great new classes that deal with building your own haunted house as well as touring haunted buildings in Independence.

Our new fall catalog (full of our own blood, sweat and tears!) should be out in the next couple of weeks.
