Welcome to the Pawleys Island/Litchfield SC CLASS website!

CLASS (Community Learning About Special Subjects) is in its 14th year of providing adults with courses taught by talented instructors in a casual environment for the pure joy of learning. The CLASS office, along with Art Works and the Moveable Feast, is located inside the Chocolate & Coffee House at the Litchfield Exchange, two miles south of Brookgreen Gardens, just behind Applewood's.

The courses offered this spring include Gloria Perkins' Oil Painting Workshop in January, Sammye Souder's How to Forgive without Hurting Yourself in February, Lee Brockington's Girls Island Getaway at the Sea View Inn in March, and Fridays' Moveable Feasts, literary luncheons featuring exciting authors at area restaurants.

If you are looking for Tai Chi or yoga, they have been relocated to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Coastal Carolina University.

The Next Feast...

Wiley Cash

author of "A Land More Kind than Home" at Kimbel's, Wachesaw.

"Deep in the heart of the rural South is a quiet and unassuming small town with secrets that threaten to destroy the residents’ firm belief in the way things always have been and always will be. Jess Hall, an adventurous, precocious boy, has grown up there and feels enormously protective of his older sibling, whom everyone calls Stump, an autistic child who has never uttered a word in his life. One day the boys climb up on the rickety rain barrel beside their house and spy something through the window that they shouldn't. Stump is taken away, and with the brother's separation comes catastrophe, shattering the world as they know it. If Jess has suspected that there is much about the world of adults he doesn't understand, he now knows that that knowledge is also much more dangerous and close to him than ever before."
