Western Nevada College Foundation notecards highlight four offerings from WNC’s Continuing Education program: book sculptures, international travel, astrophotography and the Swiss Alphorn.
Each of the five notecards features images that capture the spirit of these courses.
Here’s a glimpse of the stories behind the cards:
• Book sculptures: A doll and yellow birds, crafted entirely from the pages of a book, are part of Debbie Lambin's My Thousand Words artistic journey. With intricate folds and delicate details, Lambin brings characters to life, turning stories into unique sculptures that inspire wonder and creativity. As an educator at WNC, she shares her passion for book sculpture and paper art through WNCs Continuing Education program, helping others discover the magic within the pages.
• International travel: There are many things to consider when traveling internationally — passport and visa requirements, vaccinations, currency, safety and more. Introduction to International Travel will prepare you with a roadmap to navigate each of these considerations step by step for a rewarding international traveling experience.
• Astrophotography: Unlock the secrets of the night sky with our beginner-level astrophotography course. Learn the art and techniques behind capturing images of stars, planets and galaxies. Guided by experienced instructors, students will explore the fundamentals of photographing celestial wonders, turning the vastness of space into breathtaking visuals.
• The Swiss Alphorn: Trust us, whether you're brand new to playing music or a seasoned musician, you'll find this elongated instrument to be approachable and fun. This course teaches students to play in a stress-free group environment. No music reading skills are necessary.
