The Complete History of Comedy (Abridged)

Wednesday, April 19th 7PM

Tickets to The Complete History of Comedy (abridged) are far more affordable than tickets to an amusement park, but you’ll come away with the same feeling of nausea and motion sickness. From cavemen telling “Rock Rock” jokes to Will Smith upset at Chris Rock’s jokes and everything in-between, the bad boys of abridgement leave no joke untold as they deconstruct the entire history of comedy in 90 rollicking minutes.

Instructor: Nell Trask

This class is for all levels, no experience working with glass required. Students will complete a glass mosaic artwork which is perfect for indoor display! This design will utilize a repurposed picture frame as the base for building and grouting your very own glass mosaic. Projects are intended to be finished in-class and be able to be taken home at the end of class. For students who may need extra time, a make-up grouting session will be held on June 17th at 10:00am.

You are invited to the second annual Blooms at the Buell event! Celebrate a special lady in your life by painting a flower pot in Artrageous and choosing a flower from our pop-up Flower Shop. Not only is this event celebrating the special women in our lives, but it will also be the final hurrah for our spring exhibit, “What’s the Buzz? The Life of the Honey Bee”.

We will also feature a garden talk by local beekeepers at Boley’s Bee Haven. Come Celebrate the beauty of spring at the Buell Children’s Museum!

Returning to the Magic Carpet Theater stage is Logan Thielbar, local 4-H student, to give his second presentation about honey bees. This half-hour lecture will provide our guests with lots of fun facts about the honey bee that are also present throughout our spring exhibit. 

You would be surprised how many wines are blends of different grapes! We will explore 3 wonderful gems that might be good choices for the holidays. This type of class has been very popular.

This class will explore three great wine regions within the Loire Valley of central France. Grapes like Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and others are widely grown in the region. What will be the selections? You will have to attend to find out!

Many consider the white wines of Italy to be lackluster or without much character. From Sicily to Campania there some amazing white wines being produced that are overshadowed by the reds. Expect to be pleasantly surprised at the flavor and quality of these white wines.

This class will be about an often overlooked region of Italy that lies on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Due to its lack of popularity, the wines from here are great values to consumers. You might discover a hidden gem in the wines of this class.

This class will compare the Cabernet grape from three different areas in California. One will be from California, one from a specific area within California (i.e. Napa or Sonoma), and one from a sub-region within the specific area (i.e. Oakville). We will narrow the focus of region and how it affects the quality of wine. This will be all red wines, and start as a blind tasting. Will you be able to tell which wine is which? And does the less-costly wine taste better than the most expensive of the group?
