This program, which is offered through the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department, offers courses that vary from ceramics to painting to weaving and everything in between. In order to register for classes at the CAC, the first step is creating an account with the Recreation and Parks Department.
After that, you can explore the full class list on the CAC’s website. In-person programming is scheduled to begin soon.
Sew to Speak

Quilting, knitting, and crocheting are just a few of the classes offered at Sew to Speak in Worthington. If you’ve never touched a sewing machine in your life, don’t fret, you can start out with Sewing 101. If you crave something a little more challenging, you can look into higher-level classes or even private lessons.
At Sew To Speak, people of all talent levels are welcome. The classes offer a unique way to add creativity to your life, as well as learn a life skill that most people don’t possess! For more info, please click here.
The Recipe Cooking + Company

Not everyone learns how to cook growing up, which can make for a rough transition to life on your own. If you’re looking to expand on your skills in the kitchen, a cooking class at The Recipe may be just the ticket.
Classes range from taco nights to a Louisiana Creole Workshop and prices for classes vary, depending on the class. You can view the full class schedule on their website here.
