Lifelong Learning

The pandemic may have sparked a wave of hobbying, but the desire to create, connect, and unplug has only grown stronger. In a world dominated by screens, hands-on crafts and traditional skills offer a much-needed retreat. Lifelong Learning at the University of Utah is meeting this need with a rich selection of courses that embrace slow living, creativity, and self-sufficiency. From knitting and embroidery to botanical dyeing, soapmaking, and heirloom baking, these classes invite participants to step away from their devices and immerse themselves in the joy of making. Whether you're weaving, fermenting, or crafting jewelry, there's something deeply fulfilling about working with your hands—and Lifelong Learning has the perfect class to help you do just that.
