Brooklyn Brainery
A Prospect Heights storefront running cheap single-evening classes on more or less everything — cheese, cyanotypes, local history, knitting. Most cost less than a cinema ticket.

SEP 28Nonfiction Book Proposals and the Publishing Process

SEP 29A Month of Watercolor
Tue, Sep 29 · 6:00 PM
Four consecutive Tuesday evenings of watercolour rather than the usual single night — enough time to get past the first flush of beginner's luck. $135 for the month at the Brainery, the longest course they run and still cheaper than one session at most Manhattan studios.
