Join us at Garibaldi to learn the art of cyanotype, a 170 year old photographic printing process that uses sunlight to produce prints in a distinctive dark greenish-blue, and enjoy delicious sustainable seafood dishes all while supporting ocean conservation. Oriana Poindexter will guide guests as they create their own frame worthy cyanotype, or sun print, to take home using native kelp, seaweed and natural materials harvested responsibly from San Diego's ocean and shoreline. During the interactive workshop, guests will enjoy tray-passed bites including Culurgiones Friti with local rock crab, potato, telligio and brown butter emulsion; Local Opah Meatballs served with a spicy ‘nduja tomato sauce, sheep milk yogurt, and mint; and Sogliole Alla Parmigiana made with San Diego sand dabs, mirto fume, pecorino sardo, frisée, sea grass, and parsley. A full bar featuring Garibaldi’s signature cocktails will also be available for purchase. Following the workshop, guests will enjoy local oysters, shellfish and Baja yellowtail crudo station, along with interaction and kelp forest education by Reef Check. 25% of all ticket sales will be donated to Reef Check, a non-profit organization leading citizen scientists to promote stewardship of sustainable reef communities worldwide, including San Diego's local kelp forests. This event is in alignment with Garibaldi’s commitment to protecting the waters right here in San Diego, having recently received recognition from the James Beard Foundation as Smart Catch Committed restaurant for their seafood sustainability efforts.
