Join instructor Suzanne Balestri to learn the basics of Fused Glass and create your own glass jewelry to keep for yourself or give as a gift. This fun workshop offers a perfect introduction to Kiln-Formed (fused) glass for beginners, and allows those who have worked with glass before to hone their abilities and finesse their skills. You will learn how fused glass differs from other forms of art glass, how to use the various tools involved in creating glass art, and how to cut and grind the glass you will be using in your wearable art project. Using a colorful array of glass and pre-fired adornments, you’ll construct abstract or representational designs to be fashioned into earrings, pendants, rings, cuff links, even belt buckles! Each student will have plenty of space in the kiln for several items! Your pieces will be fired in a glass kiln to completely fuse each design into one solid piece, and will be ready for you to pick up the following week. Workshop fee includes pre-workshop instructional videos, all glass, equipment, and kiln firing of several pieces. An additional supply fee of $10 (cash only) is due to instructor at the workshop. It includes pre-fused adornments plus jewelry findings for up to 3 items (excluding leather for bracelets/belts). Additional findings, chains, cording, and leather for bracelets and belts will also be available for cash purchase. This workshop is recommended for All Skill Levels – Ages 13 and up.

Culinary Historians of San Diego will present “Cali-Baja,” featuring author Michael Gardiner, at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, March 16, in the Neil Morgan Auditorium of the San Diego Central Library. There’s a line between Northern Baja and Southern California. From the northern side, it’s called “the border.” From the southern side, some call it “la linea,” or “la frontera.” But fish don’t care about that line. Neither does the climate. And the soil types do not suddenly change. Nature knows no such borders and, it seems, neither does food. Join us as we explore the connections between our neighbors about our culture and cuisine. After more than 3 decades of law practice, Michael Gardiner retired to become a full-time award winning food writer. In addition to his two published cookbooks: Cali-Baja Cuisine: Ensenada Aguachiles, Tijuana Taco Stands and San Diego Cali Burritos; and Modern Kosher: Global Flavors, New Traditions, both published by Rizzoli, Michael is a regular food feature writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune and has freelanced for Local Magazine, Edible San Diego, Tasting Table, Thrillist, and the Cook’s Cook. He was also the restaurant reviewer for the late San Diego City Beat. Michael won San Diego Press Club awards every year since 2018 for his contributions. He also won a National Championship at Australian Rules Football! The presentation is free and open to the public. A tasting and book signing will follow. Stay Connected on Social Media!

We eat food, but what do the women and girls who pick it have to endure? This Saturday, a large mixed media installation opens illustrating struggles of campesinas/female farmworkers. Centered around a colorful family banquet table with place settings featuring quotes from campesinas, the intricately researched and visually captivating “Because We Eat - How Growing Our Food Affects Farmworkers,” is shown in conjunction with the Centro Cultural de la Raza’s, “Connecting en la Cocina: Empowerment, Resistance & Wisdom-Keeping.” Artist / activist (Artivist) Antonia Davis says of her installation, “Farmworkers most often work under dangerous, unjust and oppressive conditions. Every stitch sewn in this installation reflects our respect for the hours farmworkers spend, the distances they travel, the heartaches they endure and the strengths they embody.” Other Connecting en la Cocina exhibits include “Ancestral Roots” by Mariana Raquel and “Sacred Altars of MMIW - 7 Peaks for 7 Sisters” by Way of the Sacred Mountain, Artist Teyana Viscarra, and works from other local artists. Opening celebration/fundraiser: This Saturday, from 6 to 10 p.m., Centro Cultural de la Raza celebrates the International Day of Women at the opening of Connecting en la Cocina, curated by Jenn Frost Moreno and Norell Martinez, with mixed media artists plus music and performances. It is fundraiser with two related purposes. First, it focuses on the kitchen as more than a space for cooking but a powerful site of empowerment, resistance, and wisdom-keeping. Second, to raise funds to remodel Centro’s kitchen, which for decades has been a hub for community creation and organization and increasingly links with food trucks. Opening/fundraiser music by Bunny the Selector, Niomie Soulfly, DJ Ana Brown.
