10:00 AM – 1:00 PM<h3><a href="https://sonomacommunitycenter.org/venue/room-208/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Room 208;Ages: 18 and older; All levels In this six-week course, participants will learn foundational watercolor
 techniques and develop essential experiential knowledge of this 
beautiful and challenging medium. Our unifying subject will be gorgeous 
fresh produce – fruits, veggies and herbs. These subjects are great for 
beginners and experienced watercolor painters alike; their organic 
shapes make them forgiving drawing subjects, but their beauty can be a 
muse for life. Instructor Hannah Day is a passionate produce lover and 
botanical painter and will share her unique approach to rendering 
botanicals. This class will work from life, practicing observational 
drawing in addition to watercolor technique. With six class sessions, 
participants will have the opportunity to develop their skills and build
 muscle memory with a medium that often feels like it has a mind of its 
own. Beginning artists and repeat students welcome! All supplies are 
provided.</a></h3>

$145This special book arts workshop is perfect for anyone interested in
exploring a different twist on a creative book structure! Join guest
artist, Bettina Pauly for a special introduction in how to create an
original artistic concept flag book. Creation of this 3D book design,
will include a concertina fold, glued 3” x 2” cardstock “flags” into
folds, decoration of pages, cover design, assembly and book cover
finishing with bookbinding cloth.
Originally invented by Hedi
Kyle, the traditional flag book has small panels that cross each other
when the book opens and closes. The Flag Book is described as a
portable, expandable file that can display an array of materials in an
animated way. It is made out of an accordion fold, with small cards
glued into the folds, and a cover. Operating with the assistance of the
accordion fold, it has the freedom to expand and retract. It can be read
page by page or pulled apart for the full effect of an uninterrupted
scenario. Standing, the Flag Book also will turn into a circular star
book as the covers are held together at the back.&nbsp;
This workshop
welcomes beginners, and artists of all levels. The instructor will offer
guided instruction in a supportive learning environment with a limited
class size over the course of two sessions. The class materials fee will
include paper and all the tools needed to create each of these
projects. Students are welcome to bring their own paper sources or
artwork they might choose to incorporate, and are able to take home
their very own book project at the end of the workshop.&nbsp;
Please note: This
class requires some hand dexterity to maneuver bookbinding tools.
Participants should feel comfortable using tools with sharp edges.

 us for a dynamic, professional four-hour workshop that bridges the 
worlds of structural form and intricate surface design. Drawing from a 
rich background in printmaking and design, your instructor will guide 
you through his process of creating substantial ceramic works with 
compelling visual narratives.
<ul>
<li>Segment 1: Large-Scale Slab Building Demo (2 Hours):
 Discover the architecture of clay as we spend the first half of the 
class focusing on the construction of a large vessel. Todd will 
demonstrate how to roll out slabs, manage drying times, and assemble 
pieces that maintain their integrity through the firing process.</li>



<li>Segment 2: Sgraffito Surface Design (2 Hours): 
Explore the history and modern application of Sgraffito. This segment 
covers essential tools, composition strategies, and carving methods. You
 will learn the importance of the “sweet spot”—the perfect moisture 
level for carving—to ensure clean designs.</li>
</ul>
To
 fully immerse you in the technique, every participant will be provided 
with a pre-prepared greenware tile coated in black slip. This will allow
 you to practice carving techniques that can serve as a texture 
reference on your clay. Dive in to the structural possibilities of clay 
and the graphic potential of its surface! Please note: Your tiles are 
for practice and will not be fired after the class.

empanadas from the oven, and Gerardo Diaz will show you exactly how it’s
 done. Over the course of the morning you’ll mix and roll your own 
dough, spoon in savory fillings, and get comfortable with the crimped 
edge that seals each pocket shut. Expect hands-on practice, helpful 
guidance, and a few tricks that turn a good empanada into a great one. 
You’ll head home with a batch of your own and a recipe worth making on 
repeat. Reserve your spot and come hungry.

$85Have you always wanted to paint landscapes but don’t know where to
start? Or are you curious about acrylics but haven’t taken the plunge
yet? In this class, you’ll learn a simple technique to create small,
abstract landscapes on 5” square wooden tiles using a limited palette of
colors.
You’ll be guided through the basics of acrylic paints
and mediums, including surface preparation, color blending with a flat
bristle brush, and using different tools to add texture and detail. By
the end of the class, you’ll apply a final coat of medium to seal and
protect your artwork, leaving you with 2-3 completed pieces to take
home, along with a little easel to display your favorite one.
This
class is perfect for beginners, though some prior painting experience
is helpful. The process you’ll learn can easily be applied to larger
paintings or even collage projects.
All materials are provided. Feel free to bring snacks or a bag lunch to eat while you work.

We know this area, we know plumbing, and we care deeply about doing the job right. We’re not a franchise or a dispatch center. We’re a local company built by plumbers who got tired of seeing homeowners treated like transactions instead of people. GOFLOW Plumbing Team Three Generations of Plumbing Our roots go back to 1959, spanning three generations of hands-on plumbing experience. Along the way, we’ve learned what truly lasts, what causes problems, and what homeowners need to feel confident in their homes. We built GOFLOW on a simple belief: people deserve clarity, honesty, and real protection. We both grew up around plumbing, learned the trade hands-on, and saw too many companies put sales ahead of solutions. So we chose to build something better.
