SUMMARY:love in action: Community Card & Letter Writing Circle
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dimple Dhabalia\nDate/Time: Sunday\, August 9\, 10am – Noon\nCost: free; donations appreciated\nClass size: 3-16 participants\n(Register by August 5) \nWe were never meant to navigate the seasons of life alone. \nJoin Dimple Dhabalia\, writer\, author\, and founder of love in action empathy cards for a two-hour\, in-person community gathering — a small\, intentional space to slow down\, drop in\, and write to the people in our lives. \nRitual is how humans have always marked time. The crossing of a threshold. The arrival of grief\, or joy\, or wonder\, or rest.  \nIn a world where loneliness has become an epidemic and speed has been prioritized over intimacy\, we don’t need more efficiency in how we care for each other. We need more ritual.  Writing to someone by hand is a ritual of return. Sealing an envelope is a ritual of commitment. Sending a card when there is no occasion except the memory of someone’s loss\, or a desire to honor their joy.  \nEach session opens with a brief grounding practice. We write together\, and those who wish to share are invited to—though sharing is always optional. This is not a writing workshop. It is a guided space for presence\, reflection\, and connection. Bring your own cards or purchase a set at the gathering. You don’t need to be a writer. You don’t need to prepare. You will never be required to share. \nAll are welcome. \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility\, and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.

SUMMARY:Playing with Resin Workshop (Register by 8/6)
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Tracy Wilkerson\, recycledworks@yahoo.com\nDate/Time: Monday\, August 10\, 6-9pm\nCost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; plus a $10 Supply Fee\nClass size: 6-12 participants\n(Register  by August 6) \nLearn the ins and outs of prepping for and mixing resin\, and how to use it as an adhesive\, a covering\, or the main medium. There’s lots of creative time during this 3-hour workshop… No need to rush\, which is one of the first lessons in using resin! All supplies are provided\, but feel free to bring personal embellishments for your piece(s). \nThis workshop does not get into using dyes with resin or building big molds to create one-of-a-kind resined tables (as seen on YouTube)\, but this workshop will provide you with a good understanding of how resin works so you can be bold enough to take the next steps in your creative interests. \nAlthough the class is listed for 3 hours\, you can leave once you have finished your creations. Some students finish very quickly while others take the whole 3 hours to create – there is plenty of time for each person to enjoy the creative process while not feeling rushed. You’ll leave your finished masterpiece(s) to set at the gallery at the end of the workshop\, and pick them up during gallery hours later in the week. \nThe workshop is designed for adults. Children ages 16-17 may participate with parental permission. Children ages 12-15 may participate only with a co-participating adult guardian (guardian must contact instructor in advance). \nRegister Now  \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
