Let’s Do Money Better!
A A 6 week money management program with Dr. Zenia McLaughlin
Tuesdays 1/7, 1/14, 1/21, 2/4, 2/11, 2/18 - 6:00pm - 7:00pm
Want to feel more ease, confidence and clarity with your money?
Whether we like it or not, money plays a role in our lives. Taking some time to find ways to do money better just makes sense!
Join us for an interactive and judgment-free conversation about how we understand our money as we explore the questions:
How are we managing the money we earn and spend? Are our money decisions aligned with our priorities?
This isn’t about investing or stocks and bonds. This is about what we do with the money we earn and spend every day.
Would you like to have a better relationship with your money so that you can live without credit card debt, save for a vacation, pay for your kids' hobbies, or just be able to sleep better at night knowing that all of your bills are paid? We will learn what it means to do money better: Why it matters and the practical steps to get started. Join us for this 6 week course!
During this course you will:
Learn and implement a straight-forward method to work with the money you have and create your own spending plan/budget.
Have 6 30-minute one-on-one sessions with me via Zoom to go over your unique money situation and customize your spending plan to you and your life.
Enjoy community support – just like going to the gym, some things are harder to do on your own!
Learn together in community and talk about money in ways that are usually “taboo” (but don't worry…you don’t need to share any personal financial details in order to gain from these conversations!)
Make a commitment, put in the effort, have fun and learn valuable tools that will serve you the rest of your life!
More details:
You will need a laptop, smartphone or tablet.
You’ll enjoy 3 months of YNAB (A Spendfulness App) for free. This is what we will use to create your spending plan.
Pay what you can: $160, $180 or $200 for all 6 sessions.
Please plan on attending each of the 6 sessions as they build on each other.

Basic Color Theory with Acrylic Paint with Marijke
Come in and brush up on your knowledge of basic color theory while we also dive into some deeper color theory topics!
In this class, we will only be breaking out the primary colors to learn how to best mix them and create our very own abstract art piece where all of the colors will be unique to your own pallet. Each participant will have the option to experiment with either the traditional painters color wheel or the pigment wheel.
I challenge all of those who attend to lose the black in your color mixing and keep the saturation at its most vibrant!
This class will start by reviewing the primary and secondary colors and then we will dive into the tertiary, analogous, and complementary colors. Once we review the basic color theory topics, we will then apply our new found knowledge to create abstract paintings that celebrate color!
By the end of this class, you will be able to ditch the unwanted brown mixture and only create it when you choose!

How to Hand Braid Mats with Marijke
Join this class to learn how to upcycle all of those old t-shirts that either don’t fit, have a little stain on them, or suffer from a tiny hole. Fret no further, no need to send it to a landfill.
In this class, everyone will learn how to process old t-shirts into t-shirt yarn and create an aesthetic mat. Once everyone understands how to process their shirts, they will learn how to braid and simultaneously weave a mat. All participants are highly encouraged to bring 3-6 old t-shirts they may be needing to clear from their closet, but there will be some provided as well. The best t-shirts to bring are the ones on the thicker side.
This is a project that can be as small or as large as you would like to create it. The end result is a squishy mat that feels wonderful under your feet, could protect your table from a hot pan, or could even hang on your wall. Crafted from excess material into a charming textile.
Attend this class for an enjoyable evening of upcycling and transforming trash into treasure!
This workshop is for ages 11+.

Hand-Building Ceramics with Bart Godett
In this workshop we will use basic hand-building ceramics techniques to build confidence in exploring clay and its properties. Participants will have the opportunity to make one or two (depending on complexity) fairly small pots, for example a mug or a bean pot or both. You will hand-build your creation and it will be glazed for you, creating a finished ceramic piece of your own design.
All materials and equipment needed will be provided, however if you have your own clay tools you are more than welcome to bring them. This class will focus on learning about clay properties, texture, and pot creation. Finished glazed pots will be available to collect from C5 Studios 2 weeks after the class, allowing time for the work to be fired and glazed.
The cost of this workshop is inclusive of a materials fee of $10 per participant to cover the cost of the specialist materials required.
This workshop is for ages 12+.
This class is limited to 8 places.
About the Instructor:
Bart is a ceramics artist and educator that lives in Big Pine. Bart is originally from Ridgecrest and has lived in the Owens Valley for 35 years. He has a studio at his house where he has worked on pottery from very large to quite small pots. His latests interest involve heavily textured clay typically in non- round forms experimenting in shape and functionality. He has enjoyed sharing his "odd" pottery style in workshops up and down the valley. I was drawn to ceramics at 19 my first semester in college. As he has moved from place to place, he has been able to enjoy expanding his ceramics education in Lancaster, Bakersfield, Lone Pine, Incline Village. At first it was all about throwing pots on a wheel, from tiny to large. Now he enjoys his creativity while camping in the wilderness. Nature inspires.
