SUMMARY:Samizdat Sundays
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Samizdat Sundays—hands‑on textile workshops inspired by the spirit of creative resistance and DIY culture found in samizdat traditions. Each week offers a different project\, connecting archival stories of subversion with contemporary making. \nWe encourage participants to bring an item each week—a T‑shirt\, a pair of jeans\, or any textile you’re ready to transform\, repair\, or experiment with. \nEach session is free\, open to all skill levels\, and guided by artists who delight in subversion and play. Come for one or come for all—together we’ll stitch\, alter\, repair\, and imagine new forms of expression. \nJoin us for Samizdat Sundays—hands‑on textile workshops inspired by the spirit of creative resistance and DIY culture found in samizdat traditions. Each week offers a different project\, connecting archival stories of subversion with contemporary making. \nHOW TO WRITE A DADAIST POEM \nJune 7\, 2026 \nTo end our month of Dada fun\, we will follow Tristan Tzara’s instructions to construct a Dadaist cut-up poem using vintage and new materials. This poem may be made of words\, colors\, textures\, objects\, or ideas. The poem may be the impetus for a collage made of vintage magazines or discarded textiles\, or perhaps will be embroidered on a shirt or sealed up in an envelope. In true Dada fashion\, the options are endless. Join us! \nNECKLACE A LA AZAZELLO \nJune 14\, 2026 \nIn honor of the Soviet Hippie and nonconformist Azazello (Anatoly Kalabin)\, whose extensive archive is in the Wende Museum’s collection\, we will make a necklace made of discarded materials. We will begin the workshop with a slideshow of the archive to get a sense of the artistic vision of Azazello. His journals are full of drawings\, doodles\, and poetry. Perhaps your necklace will feature an Azazello-style image or poem\, or perhaps yours will appear blank and without decoration\, but will hold a secret decoration away from public view. \nSECRET MESSAGE BRACELET \nJune 21\, 2026 \nToday we will make a bracelet that contains a secret message. Perhaps this message is made of symbols or objects\, a cryptic message that only you understand; or perhaps it is made of embroidered or written words that are understandable\, but are on a part of the bracelet that isn’t immediately visible. The bracelet may be designed to be noticed or designed to be worn in secret. \nTURN AN OLD TEE INTO A SHOPPING BAG \nJune 28\, 2026 \nIn this workshop\, we will turn an old tee into a shopping bag\, modeled after the plastic bags that are ubiquitous in our Age of Plastic. This bag can be gusseted or have a simple hem or even be hem-less\, tied together in a fringe-like manner. Perhaps your bag will rock whatever message was on the tee originally\, or perhaps you’ll embellish the bag with patches and embroidery. The choice is yours! \nAbout the teaching artist \nKate Ingold is an LA-based artist and poet working with the discarded\, the damaged\, and the worn out. Materials and methods include textiles\, collage\, photography\, video\, ceramics\, and performative installation. She works in series driven by conceptual concerns and is currently making work in two interwoven projects: Relics for Future Rituals and Damaged Goods/Small Repairs. \nRSVPs for this free program do not guarantee admission. Limited seating is available on a first come\, first served basis. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Wende Museum Community Center is available through the garden gate from the parking lot.

SUMMARY:Summer Camp at the Stevie | Watercolor & Nature Observation
DESCRIPTION:Reconnect with your creativity through Summer Camp at the Stevie\, a five-part workshop series that invites adults (age 16+) to experience art making through the senses. Set in the Wende Museum’s Stevie Artist Residence garden oasis\, each Sunday workshop explores one of the five senses through a different creative practice\, from watercolor painting and basket weaving to ceramics\, botanical incense making\, and traditional food preservation. \nInspired by the spirit of summer camp\, the series encourages participants to slow down\, notice the world around them\, and engage with natural materials in meaningful ways. Together\, we’ll observe the colors of the landscape\, listen through handmade instruments\, weave with plant fibers\, create fragrances from botanicals\, and preserve seasonal ingredients\, discovering how creativity can deepen our relationship to the environment and one another. \nDesigned for artists and beginners alike\, Summer Camp at the Stevie celebrates making by hand as a pathway to mindfulness\, curiosity\, and community. Whether you attend a single workshop or join us for the full series\, you’ll leave with new skills\, meaningful connections\, and a renewed appreciation for the beauty found in the natural world. \nWhat is the Stevie? \nTucked away on the southwestern side of the Wende Museum’s 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. \nWorkshop Description: SIGHT | Watercolor & Nature Observation with Anne Pearce \nSlow down and see the garden with fresh eyes. Guided by artist Anne Pearce\, participants will explore watercolor as a tool for observation\, creating paintings inspired by the colors\, textures\, and forms found throughout the Wende Museum’s garden. Through simple exercises in color mixing\, composition\, and mark making\, this workshop encourages careful looking and mindful creativity. No prior painting experience is required. \nArtist Bio \nAnne Pearce is a Los Angeles-based artist whose work explores memory\, ecology\, and our evolving relationship with the natural environment. Working primarily in watercolor and drawing\, Pearce creates contemplative works that invite viewers to notice the quiet details of everyday landscapes. Her teaching practice emphasizes observation\, experimentation\, and the joy of creative discovery.
