Jewelry Making: It’s a Wrap!
Fine Arts & Crafts
Create a contemporary bracelet you’ll get all wrapped up in! If you’ve seen the high fashion “Chan Luu” bracelets selling for $190 or more, you’ll be excited to learn that you can make your own—with your own designer touch. Learn basic laddering techniques to combine leather cording, glass beads, crystals, or semi-precious stones. Add a button closure to make a stunning statement piece. We will discuss bead selection, material sizing, and thread extension methods. No experience required.

Linocut: Spirit Animal
Fine Arts & Crafts
Make the bold and striking art of linocut your new expressive tool. Let the power of intuition connect you to your spirit animal. Then learn how to sketch or transfer your vision onto linoleum, use a tool to cut out the pattern, mix ink for printing, and print on fine paper and wood. You will gain the confidence to continue experimenting with linocut to create original works of art inspired by your imagination in this intense yet meditative class. New and returning students are welcome. Includes all materials. Please note the early class start time.

Make a Fabric Cuff Bracelet
Fine Arts & Crafts
Transform upcycled fabric scraps and cuffs from old shirts into a one-of-a-kind fabric bracelet. Embellish with pretty ribbons, add an embroidered design, and finish your creation with a button or other closure. You can design your cuff bracelet to be casual, sporty, boho chic, elegant, understated, or to match a special outfit. Using hand stitching and basic embroidery stitches, show off a favorite fabric print, and elevate your summer look with a lightweight, flexible piece of custom jewelry that you made yourself. Beginners and more experienced stitchers are welcome.

Self-Portrait Painting: Being Frida
Fine Arts & Crafts
Use the art of Frida Kahlo and her spirit of fiercely-authentic self-reflection to invoke your own inner strength and resilience. She transformed her trauma into powerful portraits of healing, beauty, and creativity. We will take a selfie within a female circle, convert it into a black-and-white image, and learn to transfer it in ink onto canvas, then paint the headpiece and background in vivid colors. Embellish the face with empowering attributes as we dive into the unconscious and explore our roots in this collective meditative process. Includes all materials.
