Through stunning photography, heartfelt stories, and recipes for cocktails, mocktails, and small bites, Italy in a Glass invites you to bring that Italian spirit home. Italy in a Glass celebrates the Italian art of elevating the everyday. From hand-selecting fresh ingredients at the market to serving cocktails in heirloom glassware and setting a table aglow with candlelight, author Susan Gravely shares how the small, thoughtful details she discovered in Italy transform simple moments into beautiful celebrations. This book is an invitation to slow down, savor, and bring a bit of Italian magic into your own home.
The evening will feature:

Apertivi tastings and snacks from each chapter of the book.
A short talk by Susan Gravely on her inspiration and Italian adventures.
Personalized signed copies of Italy in a Glass.

BOOK SUMMARY

Fifteen of North Carolina’s finest writers reimagine and reclaim the stories of the ghosts who have haunted all corners of the state.
North Carolina ain’t what it once was: forests and fields have given way to suburbs and vacation homes, textile mills to high tech, tobacco farms to tourism. That doesn’t mean, though, that the ghosts of the Old North State have gone away.
In this anthology, readers might glimpse some of the ghostly apparitions, headless fiends, and creepy hollers they heard about around their childhood campfires. Now, fifteen of the state’s finest contemporary prose writers and poets have reimagined these stories—bringing us fresh tales that are bound to scare the living daylights out of us all over again.
The Devil’s Done Come Back reclaims these old ghost tales as living stories, told and retold to frighten and delight.

Rapidly improve your drawing skills with quick, mind-expanding drawing exercises. The Drawing 2 Workshop (Intermediate) continues where Drawing 1 left off: covering the remaining “seeing skills” necessary to draw confidently. You’ll start with loose and messy work, progressing to more finished pieces. You’ll receive demos, individual guidance, and lots of practice. Instructed by Stacye Leanza. This two-class session takes place Sat, Oct 11, and Sun, Oct 12, 2pm-5pm. Registration opens Mon, Aug 25, and closes Mon, Oct 6. Drawing 1 is a prerequisite.
