Jewelry, small figure making. They used to offer this at our HS but not now, the equipment is still there though. The art teacher my DH and I were talking about it at conferences all three of us were rather forlorn at the thought of it all just sitting unused.
Metal and glass work are both fascinating. Also, glass blowing! There is a place to take a workshop in that here, but lack of funds have kept me from it.
My fantasy? A class in the earliest of photographic techniques: albumen print, carbon print, ambrotype, calotype, collodion, collodion negative, etc.

though it is a rare or an actual academic class....drawing should be the class for everyone...master drawing and all other art is available as desired. My undergraduate degree was in printmaking though i wanted to major in drawing - but alas, was not available.

I've taken workshops on stained glass, and made a few projects. My husband does woodworking, and so made custom frames for a few of the pieces I did. They turned out nice but I wouldn't classify them as art. :)
I would like classes on design, actual staining of glass, and lampwork. Glass blowing requires more/bigger/larger equipment and muscle than I possess.

Jewelry making. I took it in high school and it was awesome.

Culinary Arts, no question...I love cooking and feel like its one of the few places I am actually successfully creative...I would also love to be able to write but I'm not sure if that is a talent that can actually be taught.

Basic techniques. Nothing will help you more than a good background in how to mix paints, what brushes to use and how to choose the best medium that fits your style. What you choose to paint is your very own option.
I've always loved this Picasso quote: “When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.”
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.
