We're making the most of our spring and summer with our Block Party series! This series aims to celebrate community, culture, and creativity by creating a platform for underrepresented artists to display their diverse talents. You can look forward to a fire lineup of local talent, a variety of food options to satisfy your cravings, and numerous vendors to discover and shop from within your community. The event has a suggested donation of $5 - $20 for entry, which will support this festival and many others. By investing in our organization, you directly contribute to more inclusive cultural spaces in your neighborhood. These events are family and dog-friendly and open to the public. Come out to enjoy the summer sun, connect with like-minded individuals, listen (and dance) to some groovy tunes, and support the work of underrepresented creatives!

Tuesdays, 9:30 a.m. –12:30 p.m. January 14–February 11 (5 weeks, 15 total hour of instruction) AAC Print Room Looking at a life organically: Pick a time frame or a theme: a day-in-the-life, the places where you have lived, a special trip, or significant events over a lifetime. We will map the event(s), then utilize words, text-as-image, and actual images to represent those events as a vine that winds its way through the pages of an accordion book. This organic approach uncovers the threads that connect these phenomena, as well as your thoughts about them. For the cover page, we will make a low-tech, ink self-portrait. Then, using folded paper, we will create non-adhesive hardcovers to house the accordion pages. The resulting structure will be an exploration of the twists and turns of self-reflection on our past stories and our potential future stories. Materials: Cutting knife, stylus (for scoring), sharp pencils and a good eraser (Pink Pearl is good), glue (UHU glue stick or PVA & brush or small roller), 12” ruler, scissors. Optional/recommended: 12” centering/beveled ruler, bench hook with cutting mat (9” x 12” cutting mat size is ideal), bone folder. Materials will be provided to create the book and the covers.

Saturday, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. January 25 (1 day, 4 hours of instruction) La Jolla Studio Explore making fun, floral, fabric collages embellished with embroidery and hand stitching. These little gems can be turned into wall hangings and pillow embellishments, used as part of a quilt or in a visible mending project. You could embellish a cloth tote or decorate your denim jacket with one. We will focus on color and design using basic stitches and appliqué. Nancy will teach you the techniques and walk you through the step-by-step process to assist you with creating your work of art! Nancy’s approach is all about self-expression. Please feel free to bring any fabrics or swatch of clothing that you like or has a special meaning that you would like to include in your project. All the sewing and embroidery is done by hand. It is a slow stitch process. Prerequisites: Please be able to thread a needle, tie a knot repeatedly, and make a basic running stitch. (A bonus if you can backstitch.) Materials: Students to bring: A needle or two for sewing and embroidery, embroidery thread or floss, sharp fabric scissors, any fabrics, bits of lace or clothing that has a special meaning, beads, or baubles that you would like to include in your project. Please pack a snack! Instructor to bring: The instructor will provide background fabric, fabric scraps, bits and bobs, embroidery floss and threads, basic tools, samples for inspiration, and stitch-sample books. *If you don’t need to use any of the instructor’s supplies—and you have lots of opaque and transparent fabric scraps, embroidery thread, floss, and needles, as well as a background fabric in linen or vintage cotton approximately 18” x 18”—you can bring them and forgo paying instructor for materials. *Please note: The best fabric is linen, cotton, or something used or vintage. If you want to stitch on knit fabrics (T-shirt type), you can. NO heavy fabrics like denim! We will be layering many pieces together.
