Stained glass is unusual among the arts because of its direct relationship with light. When light passes through colored glass, different values, textures, and densities combine to form an extraordinary palette. Explore this magic by creating your own unique leaded stained-glass panel. In this 7-week course, you will learn from stained glass professional Lisa Maywood as you complete one or more 2-dimensional panels that will transform any room or space. The enrollment fee covers the cost of basic drawing materials, lead, solder, cement, and the use of the tools and machinery. Glass will be procured by each student on their own outside of class.

The Haunted Amusement Park is a HAUNTED Scare Trail set on the desolate grounds of the iconic San Diego Amusement park Marshal Scotty's Playland. The once joyful sounds of fun and laughter are now replaced with screams of terror as visitors make their way through the remnants of the carnival rides from the 1960's. The haunted scare trail takes you under the old Roller Coaster, around the Ferris Wheel and in to the Bumper Cars where you will put on 3D glasses to experience out-of-this-world visuals. You will then have to find your way through the Circus maze before the side show freaks find you. But don't rest yet, you will still have to zig zag your way out of the sleep away camp cabin. See the original haunted ride repair shop, and make your way through the old attraction Graveyard where you will see the broken down cars from the roller coaster, a race car, a ferris wheel gondola still waiting for repair from the undead fix-it crew. The haunted Amusement Park also features a house of curiosities, a truly Haunted House of Horrors, a cemetery, a slaughterhouse, and much more on your nearly 1 mile walk through the spooky grounds of The Haunted Amusement Park. The History of the Amusement Park Many of our visitors remember visiting Marshal Scotty's as children. At the time it was San Diego's most popular spot to celebrate Children's birthdays. Many visitors recall having birthday parties inside of the old covered wagons or in the picnic area near the pool. Marshal Scotty's Original attractions included: a Train, Carousel, Ferris Wheel, Little Dipper Roller Coaster, Bumper cars, Go-Karts, Waterslide, Pool, Playground, Wild West Shows, Pony rides, 9 Kiddie rides and lots of fun activities. The days of playing on the Bumper Cars or going for a ride on the Ferris Wheel are long gone now and the attractions and Buildings have been left in disrepair. The Haunting look of broken down rides and the History of the park make for a great setting for our Scare trail and Haunted Houses. Screams of excitement have turned into screams of Terror at The Haunted Amusement Park! Visit: https://www.scaretrail.com/tickets The Haunted Amusement Park on Instagram and Facebook

UC San Diego Library’s 24th Annual Toy Piano Festival Hear new works for toy piano on Thursday, September 5, at noon, in the Seuss Room of UC San Diego’s Geisel Library. This date marks composer John Cage's birthday---Cage was the first composer to write a "serious" work for toy piano. Performance is free and open to the public. Performers on September 5th include: Kay Etheridge, Kenneth Herman, Christian Hertzog, Bridgette Hines, Bobby Ortiz, Sue Palmer, Scott Paulson, and Barbara Scheidker. Exciting new works for toy piano, traditional lullabies from many lands and various centuries of chiming clock tunes will be featured on the program. https://library.ucsd.edu/news-events/events/24th-annual-toy-piano-festival-geisel-library/ BONUS INFO FOR THE SEPT 5 SHOW: UC San Diego’s history with toy pianos dates back to 1966 when composer Robert Erickson, a founder of the university’s music department, wrote a piece for toy pianos and bells that premiered on California’s PBS television stations. The first composer to write a “serious” work for toy piano was John Cage, who visited the UC San Diego campus on several occasions, including a two-week stay as a Regents lecturer in the 1980s. Alumnus Scott Paulson, who was on campus for Cage’s lectures, cites the Cage influence as a major part of the impetus of this Toy Piano Festival, of which Paulson is the director. Fun facts: In 1999, a missing service bell at a Geisel Library help desk spawned a long streak of toy piano activity here at UC San Diego. The bell was replaced by a playful tiny keyboard and a sign: “Please play on toy piano for service.” And play they did! The resultant flurry of toy piano activity led to the establishment of The Toy Piano Collection at Geisel Library. The Toy Piano Collection consists of actual instruments, commissioned scores, and extant literature and recordings. Most of the commissioned scores in the collection are composed by UC San Diego alumni. In May 2001, the Library of Congress issued a subject heading and call number for toy piano scores because of the activities at Geisel Library. The collection can be viewed under the call number M 175 T69. For more info: spaulson@ucsd.edu Visit: UC San Diego Library UC San Diego Library on Instagram and Facebook
