Textile art serves as a vibrant thread weaving together diverse communities and cultural expressions across eras and geographies. It plays a vital role in shaping cultural identity, contributes meaningfully to local economies, evolves with contemporary trends, and aligns closely with principles of sustainability—making it a cornerstone of global cultural heritage. Cultural richness emerges from the interplay of varied social groups, each bringing their own customs, beliefs, and lifestyles. This exchange fosters a more intricate and dynamic cultural landscape. The artists featured in "Origins"–Oriya Benkoshe, Wipoosana Supanakorn, Saroop Soofi, Claudia Huenchuleo, Sally Linnett, and Peggy Sivert—demonstrate that textile practices are constantly evolving, reflecting both tradition and innovation. Globalization has deeply influenced textile art, acting as a sweeping force of economic, technological, social, and cultural integration. It connects nations through communication networks, reshaping societies, and blending cultures into a more interconnected world. Visions Museum of Textile Art on Facebook / Instagram

First, California now has a statewide guide on how to teach Native American history and culture.

From 2023 to 2025, the Palomar College archaeology excavation class uncovered a long-forgotten nineteenth-century adobe in San Diego County’s Elfin Forest/Harmony Grove area. These excavations provide the first comprehensive archaeological documentation of this historic adobe, revealing new insights into its residence, the community, and its place in the region’s past. Conducted in cooperation with property owner Greg White and regional historian Alexa Clausen, the project investigated the adobe’s architecture, history, and changing use. Across four field seasons and 47 excavation units, students and researchers documented distinctive stone foundations, interior walls, a collapsed brick chimney, and other architectural features that offer new insights into historic building practices and domestic life. Drawing on archaeological evidence, archival research, and comparisons with the nearby Robert Israel Adobe, this presentation explores the intertwined Californio and Anglo-American histories of the Aliso District. Despite extensive disturbance from erosion, salvage, recreational use, and other post-abandonment processes, the excavations revealed important details about the adobe’s construction and history, contributing to a deeper understanding of San Diego County’s historic adobe architecture and regional past.

Date: Saturday, November 7, 2026 Time: 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Where: Native Poppy Solana Beach / 142 S Cedros Ave, Solana Beach, CA 92075 Limited Spots Available! Experience an evening with Native Poppy and Violet of Botanical Spells centered around flowers, creativity, pigment, and wearable botanical art. You’ll begin by learning Native Poppy’s signature approach to creating a lush, garden-inspired hand-tied flower arrangement. Our designers will guide you through flower preparation, composition, color, and the techniques of layering used to build a balanced bouquet by hand. Then, you’ll be introduced to hapa zome, the Japanese art of transferring fresh plant pigments onto fabric by gently hammering flowers and leaves. Using seasonal blooms and this rhythmic, hands-on technique, you’ll create one-of-a-kind botanical textile on silk. The natural colors and shapes of the flowers will emerge directly onto the fabric, resulting in a scarf or bandana that can be worn, tied onto a bag, or displayed as a piece of floral art. No prior floral-design or textile experience is necessary. This workshop is welcoming to beginners and designed for anyone interested in flowers, color, and creating something beautifully unexpected. Your ticket includes: - Comprehensive, engaging, hands-on instruction from Native Poppy’s professional floral designers - A curated selection of seasonal flowers - Guided introduction to hapa zome from Violet of Botanical Spells - All tools and materials needed for both projects - One hand-tied flower arrangement to take home - One silk floral-impression scarf or bandana to take home Native Poppy on Facebook / Instagram
