Play in the power of sun, water, shadows, fabric, and the mesmerizing blue of Cyanotype. Together we’ll use cyanotype fluid on cotton paper or clothing to make quite literal photographic blueprints. It is both a print-that-is-blue and also a Blueprint as in a design that acts as a template, plan, or model.

So much of the ethereal realm is captured in the cyanotype process as we hand paint the fluid, choose cherished matter and symbols, imprint with the exposure of the sun, and develop with a fresh water wash. The passing of symbology thru the elements of sun, water, earth, and air distills and concentrates its potency.

Join us for a 2-hour workshop led by Fuzzy (@fuzzydewdrop), where we will imprint sprit and energy into wearable or hangable art.
Bring your intentions and a sense of play! You’re welcome to bring pressed flowers or plants, favorite tiny objects, or converted photo negatives to incorporate into your piece.

Come for the fun, connection, and knowledge — leave with a magical, transformative piece of wearable art!

Fee to this workshop is ~Name Your Price~ *starting* at $60, meaning you decide what you pay with $60 as a minimum! Whatever extra beyond that you are able to pay goes *directly* towards fully or partially sponsored spots for others!

To reserve a specific shirt size (S–3X), please register at least 10 days in advance.

RSVP: HERE :)

Olam HaBa Community Quilt Showcase 

Date: Sunday, March 23, 2025

Time: 2-5 PM // Presentation at 2:30 pm

RSVP here // suggested $18 entry donation ($12 minimum)

Accessibility: Masks encouraged. Studio space accessible, Wheelchair accessible bathroom next door. 

In mid-October 2023, Sophia Alhadeff (she/they) and Shug Munic (they/them) met at a Jewish Voice for Peace meeting and began organizing a community quilt. Together, they agreed that the quilt would be a site for grief and a memorial to the ongoing violence at the hands of the US and Israeli Empire. 

Olam HaBa translates to “the world to come.” Drawing from the history and legacy of community activist quilts, this quilt acts as a communal practice of envisioning the world we wish to live in and create with our communities. The invitation extended to anyone who identifies as anti-zionist to respond to the question: How is Jewish safety and Palestinian liberation inherently intertwined?

After putting out the call for quilt blocks at the end of November 2023, they received 36 blocks from the US and Canada. Quilt blocks were made at workshops in Minneapolis & Chicago as well as individually. As you engage with this piece, we invite you to hold the question “What is the connection between urgency and steadfastness?” as exemplified by the quilting process during an ongoing genocide. 

Please join us to view the Olam HaBa quilt, speak to organizers about how the project came to be, and raise funds for crucial mutual aid resources in Brooklyn and Gaza. All funds will be split between Equality for Flatbush and The Sanabel Team. 

The organizers are also inviting folks to donate pins to the quilt to be adorned on the blank borders. Pins can be related to any land back & solidarity movement as liberation is interconnected. Your pin will be permanently donated to the quilt.

The quilt will be displayed at The Brooklyn Artery on March 23rd, 2025, from 2 pm to 5 pm EST. The speakers will share about the process between 2:30pm-3:30pm. We hope you join us to continue building community across the country and envisioning the world to come! RSVP HERE.

He started his career behind the sushi bar working his way up to sushi assistant/beverage director at renowned NYC omakase restaurant, New York Sushi Ko. Today, he's the Regional Manager for the Northeast and North Central U.S. for Joto Sake, one of the top premium sake importers.

Together we'll explore a thoughtfully curated sake flight featuring a variety of styles, learn the art of savoring each sip, and uncover a wide range of unexpected food pairings!
