Join us in the woodshop for this 5-hour intarsia woodworking workshop! Intarsia is a woodworking technique that involves the use of varied shapes of wood to create an image or pattern. In this class, we will cover shop safety and how to use a scroll saw, as well as best practices for sanding and finishing. Students will choose from a template to transfer to their wood, creating a mosaic-like decorative wall piece. Template options will be provided, and may be altered and edited based on skill level. At the end of the workshop, each student will leave with their own intarsia project. Materials are provided. We recommend students bring their own eye protection, ear protection & apron, but we have some for borrow if needed. Aprons for sale here. No experience necessary. Ages 18+ welcome. Students are welcome to bring a lunch or snack for a break mid-class. Visit: Woodworking | Scroll Saw Skills & Intarsia San Diego Craft Collective on Instagram and Facebook

In this six-week course we will use all forms of artistic expression – theater, movement, visual art, writing, sound – to deepen self-connection through creative practice. Each session, participants will be guided through a progression of exercises and activities that utilize one or more of these art forms. Activities are designed to foster self discovery, connection, and transformation as we bring our internal selves gently into the external through the supportive structure of the arts. The course is for anyone looking to spur change in their lives, whether big or small. No prior experience in any art form is needed. Participants come as they are, ready to embrace whatever arises, whether it is splattering blobs of paint, wiggling around like a worm, or discovering the wild dance of their pinky finger. For reduced price registration see our Increasing Access page. Each activity invites participants to find joy in the act of creation, silliness through letting go, and deep insight through watching what arises. Participants go through all six weeks together, building trust, connecting, and community as they discover new ways to be in themselves. Mockingbird Improv on Facebook / Instagram

Plus, Italian winemakers will be offering tastings, via Vicolo del Vino. Food and wine tickets can be purchased here. October is Italian Heritage month, and the festival celebrates the tradition of street painting which began in 16th century Italy with traveling artists, many of whom had been brought into the cities to work on the cathedrals. When the work was done, they would often recreate the paintings of “Madonna” on the pavement; they became known as Madonnari. Street painting thrives today in festivals throughout the world. Street painters prefer this temporary performance art form that is created live before the eyes on the asphalt. This year, La Cucina Galbani Cooking Stage expands. Chef Marco, a brand ambassador for Galbani cheese, will hit the stage for several different on-stage cooking classes and demos. He blends artistry and expertise in the culinary realm; hailing from a rich culinary background, his innovative recipes highlight the versatility of Galbani cheeses and easy-to-make Italian-style dishes. With a commitment to excellence, Chef Marco's creations not only tantalize taste buds but also celebrate the heritage and tradition of Galbani cheese. Bella Vita is brought to San Diego by the ArtWalk San Diego team who produce the annual, spring Mission Federal ArtWalk, ArtWalk Liberty Station each August, and fall ArtWalk Carlsbad.
