Louisville’s kids are about to head back to school — but why should they have all the fun? Derby City is full of opportunities for life-long learners to pick up new skills, explore a new hobby, or improve on what they already know.
We’ve rounded up a list of classes to fill your schedule this semester. Think of us as your LOU guidance counselor.
Art
This Anchorage studio offers drop-in painting sessions with weekly specials, including half-off canvases on Tuesdays and BOGO large canvases 6-8 p.m. on Thursdays. If you prefer a bit more guidance — and some refreshments — consider the Paint + Sip classes.
If you’re interested in taking your art to the next level, consider a multi-session class in oils, watercolors, or acrylics. You can also drop by for single-session workshops like abstract watercolors, calligraphy for beginners, or broom making.

Cooking at Millie’s
You’ll want to plan ahead for one of these date night cooking classes — they sell out fast. If you can land a spot, you’ll learn to make macarons, explore Japanese cuisine, or produce pasta from scratch.
Cooking at the Cottage
From baking, to kitchen basics, to international cuisines, there’s something for everyone at Kentucky’s only independent culinary retail store. Plus, two glasses of wine are included in the price for most classes.
Liquor Lab
Level up your home bartending skills with cocktail classes paired with small bites.
