Block Printing Workshop

Stamping gives us the opportunity to create our own images, repeat them, and share them. Join resident artist Sammy in creating your own stamp project, with enthusiastic guidance and instruction. All levels welcome - from “I have no idea what to do, help!” to “Thanks, I’ll be over here doing my thing.” All materials will be provided.

Print Workshop will include some warm-up activities, snacks and as much instructional or open time as needed. Feel free to join part-way through for a couple hours, or become a repeat student and develop your skills with instruction.

Sliding scale pricing, $20 - 80

Yoga

Yoga

Each Saturday morning we come together to breathe, stretch, play, and practice bringing awareness to the present moment experience of our mind and body. This is a vinyasa-style class that invites a flowing sequence to link breath and body. Difficulty is altered according to the season and the mood and needs of the group. Modifications and some props are offered and available to meet you where you are. We often incorporate pranayama (controlled breathing) and short meditations into our practice.
