Learn to Wet Felt with Wool! Sunday, June 15, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Join us for a creative time around wool and fellowship on Sunday for Fiber Fest! In this 3-hour workshop you will learn the ancient art of wet felting — the process of loose wool becoming a fabric (felt). This textile art technique has been used for millenniums in the making of rugs, clothing, and homes (yurts). Instructor Sylviane Collier will demonstrate the technique, taking you step-by-step through the project and providing guidance along the way so you may enjoy the creative process and let your inner artist take the lead. First you will create your own picture by layering wool fibers (you will have a wide selection of dyed merino wool to choose from) to finish with the binding of all the fibers using a wet felting technique. We will use bamboo mats, water and soap for the felting process. It is not a messy process, just a wet one. Towels will be provided. Each student will create a one-of-a-kind 8”x 8” “painting.” Images of flowers, landscapes and animals will be provided for inspiration. Students are also welcome to bring their own. A material fee of $10 (cash only) to be paid to the instructor at the start of the class. No experience necessary. Ages 14+ welcome! All materials included. This workshop is part of Craft Collective’s 2nd annual Fiber Fest! Join in the main day of festivities on Saturday, June 14, for a day filled with fiber fun! • Military, first responders & sibling discount • Scholarships available San Diego Craft Collective on Facebook / Instagram

Performances now run through Sept. 14, 2025, only! Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre Conrad Prebys Theatre Center West Coast premiere By Johnna Wright and Patty Jamieson Adapted from "Gaslight" by Patrick Hamilton Directed by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg "Deceived," based on the classic play "Gaslight," is a psychological thriller that will enthrall Globe audiences, as did 2022’s smash hit "Dial M The for Murder." Bella Manningham’s new husband seems the doting partner, but when she sees the gaslights dim and he claims they have not, she begins to suspect the strange occurrences aren’t just in her head. Johnna Wright and Patty Jamieson’s exhilarating new adaptation of the beloved mystery, directed by Globe Resident Artist Delicia Turner Sonnenberg (The Old Globe’s "Trouble in Mind," "Skeleton Crew"), blows the dust off a classic, and is “a very satisfying piece of theatrical reinvention” (Toronto Star). Post Show Forums: Tuesday, August 19; Tuesday, August 26; Wednesday, August 27 (evening performance) Open-Caption Performance: Saturday, August 30 at 2:00 p.m. Content warning: This production includes mild violence and the use of a prop gun.
