The South County Center of Berkshire Community College is offering the following workshops this spring.

“Writer’s Workout” (WKS-937) offers an intense regimen for both experienced and emerging writers. A highly effective method of working is introduced with weekly exercises to help get writing ideas down on paper. Participants receive critiques, and are urged to the next challenge focusing on technical and craft aspects of fiction, such as dialogue, character development, and narrative structure. Students explore possible genres and voices that may be the key to opening up the writing and release/unleash of their writing selves. Classes meet Thursday evening, Feb. 5 through April 23, from 6:30 to 9. Cost is $180.

“Introduction to Wine” (WKS-403) gives students a little history of winemaking, and teaches to identify wine’s aromas and flavors. Participants experience that buying wine can be as much fun as drinking it. The one-session class meets Thursday evening, Jan. 22, from 6 to 8 at Grape Finds. Participants must be 21 years or older. A photo ID is required. Cost is $20.

“Simply Red!” (WKS-481) explores the gamut from light and juicy to bold and ostentatious reds. Learn why, when it comes to red wines, bad soil makes good wine. The one-session class meets Thursday evening, Feb. 19, from 6 to 8 at Grape Finds. Participants must be 21 years or older. A photo ID is required. Cost is $20.

“ServSafe Food Safety Certification” (WKS-396) a nationally-recognized course, meets specifications set by the Massachusetts Food Code, and certifies students in food safety and sanitation. The class includes course book, instruction, certification exam, and diploma. Classes meet Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 24 through March 3, from 1 to 4:30.
