The Robin Henkel Band with Horns performs their own unique blend of jazz, blues, funk and swing. Firmly grounded in artistic expression Robin describes it this way, “Our performances honor the rich music traditions of blues, jazz, swing and funk. The usual line-up is trumpet with tenor and baritone saxophones, guitar, bass and drums. Sometimes clarinet and congas find their way into the mix. We love playing music that is modern as well as digging into the styles of great artists from the past such as Duke Ellington and Slim Gaillard.” Robin Henkel is a four time recipient of Best Blues at the San Diego Music Awards. This band has been performing and evolving with members coming and going for over thirty years. “In the 1980s we opened for John McLaughlin at the Bacchanal as well as performed the KSDS 88.3 Jazz Live show in the Saville Theatre.” Robin has appeared with the San Diego Symphony, Sha Na Na, Johnny Almond, Willie King, Lowell Fulson, Jimmy Witherspoon and Buddy Miles. Robin has opened shows for Dizzy Gillespie, Bonnie Raitt, Charles Brown, Bill Withers, Dr John, Arlo Guthie, John Mayall, Willie Nelson, Todd Rundgren, Steve Stills, Dave Mason, Jr Wells and Elvin Bishop. “Robin Henkel is a historian and a futurist”—LA Times.

Learn Plain Weave, Clasped Weft & Hemstitching on a Rigid Heddle Loom Select a date from the drop-down menu. 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 • Homeschoolers: contact us for enrollment details. Stay Connected with San Diego Craft Collective!
