Welcome to the Pawleys Island/Litchfield SC CLASS website!

CLASS (Community Learning About Special Subjects) is in its 21st year of providing adults with unique opportunities! The CLASS/Moveable Feast office is located in Art Works in the Litchfield Exchange at 14363 Ocean Highway, Pawleys Island, two miles south of Brookgreen Gardens, just behind Applewood House of Pancakes on U.S. 17.

Our hours are Mondays through Saturdays, 10 AM to 2 PM. But our answer machine works when we aren't (843-235-9600), and we can always be reached through ClassAtPawleys.com.

Art Works features local artists including Larry Beasley, Terry Belanger, Kathi Bixler, Nancy Bracken, Roger Cleveland, Gwen Coley, Millie Doud, Lisa Elvington, Terry Graham, Zenobia Harper, Rachel Held, Barbara Kee, Sharon Knost, Barbara Linderman, Danny McLaughlin, Suz Mole, Paul Moyer, Barnie Slice, Sharon Sorrels, M.P.

Adventures with Birdie," the fourth in a series of children's books initiated by Ron Daise; and "Holidogs," a happy read for all ages by Gayle Agee and Millie Doud (now in hardcover). Click on CLASS Publishing above for details of these and other publications by this small press. To purchase, click on CLASS List and select the book(s) of your choice. We will call or email for your payment preference.

Fridays (and some weekdays!) CLASS presents Moveable Feasts, literary luncheons featuring exciting authors at area restaurants. Each Moveable Feast is $30 (however, if you purchase the featured book at the Feast, CLASS will give you a $5 cash rebate!). Occasionally, the Feast includes the book as a requirement of the publisher (these are typically "heavy-hitters" that we wouldn't get otherwise). To register or receive the schedule for the Moveable Feasts, send us your e-dress by calling 843-235-9600, stopping by our gallery in the Litchfield Exchange, or clicking on the topic of your choice at the top of this page.

CLASS (Community Learning About Special Subjects) offers special excursions and retreats. Click on CLASS List for details about twice monthly Paint-Ins at the Litchfield Exchange with Danny McLaughlin. Lee Brockington's Women's Retreat at the Sea View Inn will reward you in so many ways.

CLASS Productions offers intimate Saturday afternoon concerts with remarkable performers (e.g., Clay Brown, Donald Ceasar, Donna & Mark Groom, Drink Small, Dixieland Swampers, Unisoghn, Gracie Holliday, Mac Arnold, Lime and the Coconuts) inside Kimbel Lodge on the Hobcaw Barony property. Concerts will resume in the fall.

Art Works, CLASS, CLASS Publishing and The Moveable Feast are owned and managed by Linda Ketron (linda@classatpawleys.com).

The Next Feast...

Dorothea Benton Frank - FULL!

author of "Queen Bee" at 21 Main, North Myrtle Beach.

"Beekeeper Holly McNee Kensen quietly lives in a world of her own on Sullivan's Island, tending her hives and working at the local island library. Holly calls her mother The Queen Bee because she's a demanding hulk of a woman. Her mother, a devoted hypochondriac, might be unaware that she's quite ill but that doesn't stop her from tormenting Holly. To escape the drama, Holly's sister Leslie married and moved away, wanting little to do with island life. Holly's escape is to submerge herself in the lives of the two young boys next door and their widowed father, Archie. "Queen Bee" is a classic Lowcountry Tale—warm, wise and hilarious, it roars with humanity and a dropperful of whodunit added for good measure by an unseen hand. In her 20th novel, our "queen bee" brings us back to her beloved island with an unforgettable story where the Lowcountry magic of the natural world collides with the beat of the human heart. Fee includes book."
