SUMMARY:Summer Camp at the Stevie: Foraged Weaving with Jenny Yurshansky
DESCRIPTION:A hands-on foraging and weaving workshop that explores the hidden histories of California’s plant life.\n\n\nSummer Camp at the Stevie \nJoin us this July for Summer Camp at the Stevie\, a hands-on art making series situated in a lush oasis in the middle of Culver City. Across four weekends\, adults and teens are invited to slow down and reconnect with the natural world through workshops led by renowned local artists. Workshops will include watercolor\, incense making\, weaving with foraged materials\, and natural dyeing. Together\, we will cultivate a sense of awe for the quiet power and beauty of plants. \nWhether you’re channeling your inner artist or just looking for a mindful escape\, each session offers a nod to summer camp nostalgia. Each weekend features two different sessions. Participants may register for one or both\, except for the incense-making workshop\, which is a two-day experience and requires attendance on both days. \nWhat is the Stevie? \nTucked away on the southwestern side of the Glorya Kaufman Community Center\, the Stevie is a “tiny house” turned creative outpost. Surrounded by palms and desert landscaping\, it serves as both an artist residency space and an intimate venue for programs\, gatherings\, and experimental events on its expansive outdoor deck. The Stevie was made possible by a transformative contribution from Steve and Jadwiga Markoff. \nForaged Weaving with Jenny Yurshansky \nJuly 19 & 20\, 10:30 a.m.–1 p.m. \nJoin Wende-exhibited artist Jenny Yurshansky for a guided foraging walk and weaving workshop that explores the hidden histories embedded in California’s plant life. Participants will gather natural materials and use them to create sculptural weavings while reflecting on how the landscape holds stories of migration\, memory\, and belonging. This hands-on session invites both artists and non-artists to engage the senses\, reconsider the ecosystems that surround us—even in urban Culver City—and share personal connections to place. No experience necessary; just curiosity and a willingness to look more closely. \nMaterials to bring\, if you have (will otherwise be provided): \n– Garden clippers \n– Heavy-duty scissors \n– Lightweight protective gloves \n– Tweezers or small needle-nose pliers \n– Cutting surface \n– X-Acto knife or utility blade \n– Cotton twine or easily bendable thin-gauge wire

SUMMARY:Tea Dances at the Glorya Kaufman Community Center
