 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>

art of reduction relief printmaking. Acclaimed guest artist, Tomoko

on the previous one. The course covers the entire process, from
designing and planning, to carving techniques, inking, registration, and
printing with both hand and printing press methods. Participants will
learn to explore the possibilities of color mixing and layering,
enabling students to achieve intricate designs and a wide range of
visual effects. You will gain an understanding of the materials,
processes, and innovations involved in this unique form of relief print
printing!

As part of a series co-hosted by Jack London Park Partners and the Jack London Society, this is a rare opportunity to hear distinguished scholars from Japan present their research exploring the lives and relationships that connected Jack London with Japanese immigrants in early twentieth-century California.
Professor Takaharu Mori
will explore Jack London’s relationships with Japanese immigrants, focusing on Yoshimatsu Nakata and Kanae Nagasawa, a descendant of samurai and one of California’s most influential early winemakers at Fountain Grove Winery in Santa Rosa. Through their stories, the presentation reveals the personal and cultural connections that linked Jack London with members of the Japanese community in Northern California.
Nagako Muto, Ph.D.,
a scholar of classical Japanese literature, will examine the remarkable 1914 diary of Yoshimatsu Nakata, a Japanese immigrant who lived and worked closely with Jack London. Nakata’s firsthand observations provide an intimate view of London’s daily life, physical challenges, and interactions with California’s legal and cultural landscape.
Professor Mori’s former student, Dr. Kaoru Nishihara, will conclude the program with a brief presentation highlighting her own research into Jack London’s changing views of Japan and the Japanese people.

GOFLOW Plumbing

At GOFLOW Plumbing, we take ownership of your plumbing problem from the moment you call. It’s not just a phrase—it’s how we 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.
