Ariana Serrano-Embree of Cowboy Kids and Tocu

Cowboy Kids was started as a project to be able to pass along vintage and gently worn kids clothing. There is so much wear left in a lot of things and so many clothes already circulating in our world. It feels good to be able to pass along something that was once loved and can be loved by many more to come. Ari will bring lots of tees, jeans, sweaters and other found items to share with kids in a range of sizes. Learn more on her Instagram.

Tocu was dreamed up by Ari and Surya as a way rework and recycle clothing into something new. We hand dye found tee shirts in our backyard, every garment is unique and made with care. We find vintage jeans (wranglers, Levi’s, lee’s) rework and cut them into kids sized elastic banded denim that is meant to be worn for a few years for each size and then passed along. Our clothing is meant for play and wear, so we also have patch kits to use to help keep the longevity going. Things can be worn and loved so much, and we want to keep that spirit going!

Have you ever wondered how to blend scents and perfume, but didn’t know where to start? Creating natural scents is creative and methodical. It is part science and part intuition. It is allowing plants material to guide you as you delve into their vibrational and communicative power.

This 2-hour immersive workshop with Alix Clo will give you the fundamental tools to start making natural scents on your own. You will walk away with an understanding in the various ways naturals scents are extracted from plants, how to construct a scent for the skin using the Pyramid Scent Structure, how to combine 2 or more scents together (before mixing them in a bottle), how to formulate carrier materials, safety, and perfume concentration and establishing a nuanced language to describe scents.

This workshops includes 12-16 raw materials to work with, scent strips, bottles, recording sheets and handouts for resources for how to continue your exploration at home. You will also walk away with a 10ml custom scent that you will create at the workshop.

Price $85

Additional scent/bottles can be purchased for $35 per 10ML bottle on the day of the workshop.

In collaboration with local non-profit organization, Japanese American Families for Justice we are hosting a Children’s Day Pop-Up event in celebration of AAPI Heritage Month! We will have various local AAPI vendors(food, gifts, art + more), a Taiko drum performance by Kristy Aki Oshiro, reading by Maggie Tokuda-Hall of Love in the Library, and an Arts & Crafts activity hosted by JAF4J!

Children’s Day (“Kodomo no Hi”)is a national Japanese holiday celebrated yearly on May 5th that brings families together to celebrate the healthy growth and happiness of children.

Traditionally this holiday is celebrated by displaying Koinobori, a carp-shaped windsock/or streamer (which started because of the Chinese legend that a carp that swims upstream becomes a dragon and flies to Heaven) which resembles a carp swimming in the wind. Typically a black-colored carp represents the father, a red or pink represents the mother, and a blue, green or sometimes orange represents each child. Miniature Japanese armor and helmets are also sometimes displayed to ward off evil spirits. Mochi cakes and sweet sticky rice filled wrapped in an iris bamboo leaf is also traditionally served during the celebration.

Other Asian cultures also celebrate “Children’s Day”, like Korea, Vietnam, Philippines and many more!

We hope you can join us!

This is a FREE event!

Our “Floating Harmony” experience inspires us to relax and unwind, let go of perfection and enjoy the moment. Marbling is a therapeutic technique with a no fail process. It is almost hypnotic to watch and soothes the entire body and mind. This workshop is a practice of calming our minds. Suminagashi, Japanese for “floating ink”, is a traditional art form from the 12th century that reveals the mesmerizing, ever-changing nature of water.

Led by Agnes of Crave Workshops, we will be creating a floating piece of art on the surface of the water and capturing the swirling, ever-morphing moments as prints on paper and coasters. At the end of the 2-hour experience, participants will walk away with a greater sense of their natural artistic abilities and a renewed sense of wonder and creativity.

You will receive a tote bag with all the supplies you will need for the workshop. The kit will include a marbling tray, 6 marbling paints, 15 rice paper sheets, 10 paper coasters, 3 round brushes, a pair of vinyl gloves, a round paint palette, 2 card holders with envelopes.

Drinks and light bites will also be provided.
