CHARLOTTE — Charlotte-based education startup SkillPop is going back to what it knows best. Starting June 4, SkillPop will offer 10 in-person classes as part of a summer series. The classes, which run through July 20, will be SkillPop’s first traditional ones in person since the pandemic forced it to go virtual in March 2020.

Classes at the Metropolitan, including hand lettering and abstract art, are already available for signups, with prices ranging from $38 to $48. Others will be held at familiar local venues, such as Resident Culture Brewing Co., Devil’s Logic Brewing and Optimist Hall. Online options are still available.
SkillPop founder Haley Bohon described the last two years with three words — frustrating, invigorating and exciting.
“When people asked me, ‘How are things going? How has SkillPop been?’ for a long time my answer was just I was so thrilled that we were still in business,” Bohon recalled.
