Monday, February 17 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Ages 4-6 welcome! Taught by artist & designer Christine Gilpin, your preschool age child will explore collaging, color theory, sewing, weaving and fiber arts in our studio. We will explore through sensory activities, crafts and stories while developing fine motor skills. Littles learn best by doing and playing. We practice handwork and workplay. We “play” with natural objects and materials. Each project is planned so that children build skills while satisfying their need to explore. Projects are safe, non-toxic, and full of creativity. It’s important that your child bring water in a refillable bottle and a snack (no candy or peanut products please) in case they are hungry or thirsty during this time. In addition, if your child is enrolled in a nearby camp elsewhere in Liberty Station in the afternoon, and their camp begins as ours ends, we are happy to walk your child to their next camp. If you’d like your camper to stay during the lunch hour from 12 p.m. - 1 p.m., for a fun, supervised space to eat their lunch (not provided) and a craft afterward, visit Lunch Supervision. • Military and sibling discounts. • Scholarships available. • If this class is full, join the 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.

How do we soothe ourselves in the age of efficiency? How do we find time for care in the age of speed? How do we transform healing into daily acts of resistance and revolution? Join artist Maria Antonia Eguiarte in an object-making workshop that plants the seeds surrounding these questions through the creation of a self-soothing artifact. Using fiber, wire, and other materials, we will create a hand-held object informed by mindfulness and awareness of the needs of our bodies, souls, and beings. This program is intended for adult audiences. Capacity is limited to 25 participants. Program: 11AM: Learn about Eguiarte’s art practice and how she explores expressions of vulnerability and care through her performance and object-making. 11:30AM: After a guided mindfulness exercise, Eguiarte will lead participants in creating hand-held objects that provide calm and tranquility when held in our hands. About Maria Antonia Eguiarte: Maria Antonia Eguiarte is an interdisciplinary artist born in Lansing, Michigan and raised between Mexico City and California. She is currently based in San Diego, California. Eguiarte is engaged in gesture-based performance and object-making. Since the start of her artistic exploration, she has been drawn to vulnerability and care as radical political weapons for quiet, gestural revolution. This has been the main focus of her practice as an artist, caregiver, hybrid storyteller, student, and teacher, which centers on the possibilities of a transnational body that carries multigenerational knowledge of care. Using textiles, fibers, and threads, Eguiarte draws from personal narrative, family and nation myths, and non-linear and anti-hierarchical ways of knowledge to disrupt her relationship with care, community, and self.
