This class introduces students to IMPACT Bay Area 's approach to personal safety. We think of self-defense as a spectrum that starts with the first feelings in your body when you notice a situation might not be safe, through physical self-defense if necessary, all the way to what you can do to take care of yourself after something happens. Learn to recognize and honor your own intuition, develop assertive body language and powerful verbal skills, and practice simple and effective physical strike techniques!
We've long admired the work of East London design studio Wax Atelier, founded by Lola Lely and Yesenia Thibault-Picazo, both known for their poetic use of wax in everyday objects. This season, Wax Atelier is inviting visitors into their studio for a hands-on workshop making wax-dipped ornaments: delicate decorations formed from humble materials such as nuts, seed pods, paper offcuts, and even dried pasta. The ornaments make use of Wax Atelier's signature technique: shaping, heating, and dipping each piece by hand into layers of beeswax.
