Come Bead With Me, Or Fibers, Or....Well, Anything! Open Studio with Lisa Winta
Settle into a relaxed open studio session with Lisa Winta, a welcoming place to spread out, focus on your project, and enjoy conversation with fellow makers. Bring whatever you are working on, whether that is jewelry beading, bead embroidery, beaded accents, wire wrapping or wire sculpture, pine needle basketry, simple knitting or crochet, needle felting, painting, or another medium. Over three hours, the emphasis is on making, connection, and enjoyment. This is not a structured class. Lisa will be available to offer guidance, practical suggestions, and resource pointers to help you navigate challenges in your project, especially in the areas listed above. Suitable for ages 12 and older, with late registrations welcome. Bring your materials and make progress in a supportive studio setting.
Movement Fundamentals
Learn and practice movement, flexibility, and foundational Aikido principles in a welcoming class setting. The session is open to all ages and experience levels and is especially supportive for children, individuals with limited mobility, and newcomers to martial arts.

The LyricPairs + Possibilities: Singles Night (25-39) | Bring a Friend Encouraged
A fresh take on meeting new people, this singles night is crafted to feel natural, social, and genuinely fun for ages 25-39. The format encourages guests to arrive as a male and female pair to keep the room balanced and conversations easy, with a small number of solo spots also available. The evening begins with check-in and relaxed mingling, then a quick icebreaker helps everyone start chatting. Short speed dating rounds follow so participants can meet a variety of people, then conversation games introduce playful, low-pressure prompts that move beyond small talk. The night winds down with open social time and free pool, giving space to reconnect with anyone who stood out. Tickets are available in limited tiers, including an Early Bird option at $20, a Solo ticket at $30, and a Pair Pass at $35 for two people in a male and female combo. The experience is designed for a shared stage of life and aims to make in-person connections feel easy rather than forced.
