Charles Durrett, a leading architect in the field of sustainable community design and cohousing, will be hosting a free public presentation on the future of this innovative housing concept, with a focus on the potential for a new cohousing community in Ramona. The event is open to the public and will take place on March 16 at 6 p.m. It will be held at the Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane in Ramona, California. Cohousing communities are custom neighborhoods that combine full, yet efficiently, designed private homes with extensive community facilities. This results in some of the most socially and environmentally sustainable neighborhoods in North America to date. The future residents are involved from the beginning of the project, acting as co-developer and co-designer, so the houses and the community, as a whole, ultimately reflect their real needs and priorities of the future residents, not those of a typical developer. Cohousing is designed to reflect the real needs, wants, and desires of the future residents in order to make their lives more economical, more practical, more social, more convenient, more healthy, more safe, more interesting, and more fun. Too many seniors need to move out of town when their house no longer fits them and too many kids who grew up in town can’t afford to move back when they are ready to start a family. Cohousing addresses these problems in the most healthful way possible. We’d like as many of the future residents as possible to be from Ramona. Charles Durrett, architect, author and advocate for affordable, socially responsible and sustainable design, has designed over 55 successful cohousing communities in California and North America including the one where he lives in Nevada City, CA. His work has been featured in Time magazine, New York Times, LA Times, San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Post, Architecture, Architectural Record, Wall Street Journal, the Economist, and a wide variety of other publications.

Saturday, May 6 from 10:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. 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. Mother’s Day is coming up! This fun workshop offers a perfect introduction to kiln-formed or 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 roughly 8” x 8” of space in the kiln – plenty of space 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. Supply Fee $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.

Join us for an artist's talk with mixed media artist, Kathleen Kane-Murrell. She will be discussing her process, technique, and inspiration behind her solo exhibition, "Wayfinding in Suspending Times", on view in the gallery through July 2 2023. Kane-Murrell’s work is inspired by her observation of the interconnectivity between humans and nature, and her longing to reconnect after isolation during the pandemic. Her solo exhibition brings her perceptions and musings to life through her highly textured collage techniques. Many of her works present themselves like a miniature ecosystem; reverse-painted plexiglass panel is placed between the viewer and the textural backdrop of the work. Highly detailed renderings of butterflies, gingko leaves, and other organic elements painted on the transparent plexiglass appear to float over the materials affixed to the layer behind. Kane-Murrell’s specific style of mixed media collage both unites and contrasts familiar icons of nature with abstraction and human-designed composition.
