Exciting fall semester awaits at South Orange–Maplewood Adult School

MAPLEWOOD / SOUTH ORANGE, NJ — The South Orange–Maplewood Adult School has just launched its fall 2022 catalog of more than 100 courses at somadultschool.org

The fall catalog features a trove of stimulating lectures and entertaining events, such as Ralph Buultjens discussing world politics leading up to the midterm elections in America; a four-course wine-pairing dinner at Luna Stella; Stephen Whitty presenting “The Hitchcock Blondes”; three lectures from award-winning art history educator Janet Mandel; Carol Levin portraying Lillian Feickert, president of the NJ Woman Suffrage Association from 1912-1920; and vintage shopping in New York City with a fashion pro. 

Students can spark their creative juices with classes such as “Pinot & Pottery,” “Adventures in Watercolors,” “House Portraits in Collage,” a chalk paint workshop, photography, calligraphy, knitting and landscape painting. 

A 20-week gardening class will be offered, as will classes to demystify and de-stress college planning.
