Learn Plain Weave, Clasped Weft & Hemstitching! Have you wanted to dive into the mindful, rhythmic, magic of weaving? In this rigid heddle loom workshop, students will learn to weave their own unique handwoven fabric in both plain weave (a classic, simple pattern) and clasped weft (where two wefts interconnect, creating unique patterns). Each student will learn the basics of how the loom works, a variety of simple weaving techniques, plain weave, clasped weft weaving, and finally, hemstitching for a finished piece. Students will weave a length of handwoven fabric of their choosing using the techniques in-class. Looms will be pre-warped in this class and students will weave together on Ashford Looms with 100% cotton fiber for a fiber-friendly afternoon. Beginners, as well as those with weaving experience are welcome. No experience necessary. Ages 14+ welcome! • Military and sibling discounts. • Scholarships available. • Homeschool vendor funds accepted. • If this class is full, join our Interest List. • If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria gave his annual State of the City address earlier this week and said he's ordered city staff to permit new apartment buildings within 30 days — if they use an affordable housing incentive program. In other news, federal officials could soon be the target of another lawsuit linked to the region’s persistent cross-border sewage problem. Plus, our KPBS arts editor and producer has the 411 on arts events happening in San Diego County this weekend.

Mixed media art exhibition featuring award winning San Diego artist Denise Cerro. Denise Cerro's art is characterized by its vibrant, expressive use of color and a playful yet sophisticated blending of elements. Her works often display a whimsical quality, combining elements of the fantastical with the everyday in a way that invites viewers into a unique and imaginative world. Cerro tends to utilize mixed media, which allows for a rich textural experience, incorporating various materials that add depth and interest to her pieces. Her compositions are known for their dynamic, often joyful energy, and a sense of narrative that engages the viewer's curiosity. While each piece is distinct, her overall style maintains a consistent aesthetic that is both approachable and enchantingly complex in her favorite color palette…that feels like home.
