Cultivating Community Sundays

Intro to Watercolor - Sold Out!
August 9 | 12:30p - 2:30p

LA moves fast, but Sundays don't have to. Join artist Shannon for a beginner watercolor workshop - an easygoing afternoon of creativity, color, and calm that feels like a reset for the week ahead. This is a small, welcoming space where you'll learn the craft: how to control water, mix colors, and build confidence on paper, step by step. No experience needed, no supplies to track down. Everything is provided, and Shannon will guide you through each step. You'll leave with finished pieces you actually want to hang on your wall. You'll take home: a full set of paints, brushes, and a techniques packet to keep painting long after Sunday ends. If painting has always felt out of reach, this is where that changes.

Mahjong 102 Workshop - 2 spots left!
August 30 | 12p - 2:30p

Community and Mahjong?? We’re so excited to welcome back Erin Conlon of That’s Amahjzing LA for a Mahjong 102 workshop. A local La Crescenta mom and certified American Mahjong instructor, Erin’s goal is to spread community through play, one Mahjong lesson at a time. Mahjong 102 is tailored for those who have completed Mahjong 101 or have some experience and seek further refinement. This 2.5 hour session refreshes key concepts such as the deal and the Charleston while emphasizing strategy through focused gameplay. Erin will give a brief refresher and then facilitate 2-3 guided games. Come solo or bring a friend, we look forward to seeing you!
