Using the simple and satisfying art of metal embossing\, participants will create a one-of-a-kind piece inspired by the people\, places\, traditions\, and stories we carry with us. \nWorking with soft tooling metal\, we’ll explore how lines\, patterns\, words\, and symbols can be transformed into beautiful dimensional designs. Create a family crest\, a symbol of gratitude\, a Christmas ornament\, a keepsake for your home\, or a handmade gift for someone you love. \nNo drawing or art experience is necessary. This workshop is about slowing down\, working with our hands\, and enjoying the pleasure of creating alongside one another. \nCome on your own\, bring a friend\, or make it a family afternoon. Adults\, teens\, and families with older children are welcome. Children should be comfortable working independently with an accompanying adult. \nAll materials are provided. \nPRICING: \nAdults\, teens\, and families are welcome.

Introduce embossing and show a few finished examples. Talk briefly about symbols: family\, home\, ancestry\, gratitude\, nature\, traditions\, place. Invite participants to think about “What—or who—has left an impression on you? \n\n\n1:20–1:40 — Design. Participants sketch their idea on paper first. Provide a sheet of simple visual motifs—botanicals\, stars\, sun/moon\, hearts\, houses\, hands\, birds\, geometric borders\, initials\, etc.—for anyone intimidated by drawing. Tracing should absolutely be allowed. \n\n\n1:40–2:00 — Embossing demonstration. Show tooling metal over foam\, working front/back to create raised and recessed areas\, line weight\, repeated patterns and texture. Include the wonderful discovery that pressure creates dimension. \n\n\n2:00–2:45 — First work session. Transfer designs and emboss. You circulate and help people troubleshoot. \n\n\n2:45–2:55 — Break. Tea\, coffee\, perhaps something very simple and Thanksgiving-ish. This is also a natural time for people to wander around and see what others are making. \n\n\n2:55–3:35 — Finish + embellish. Refine embossing and optionally add patina/color with permanent markers or acrylics. Mount pieces onto mat board\, small wood panels\, or turn smaller works into ornaments/hanging pieces. \n\n\n3:35–3:55 — Make it a keepsake. Add a name\, date\, dedication\, short message or handwritten note on the reverse. Anyone making a gift can package it simply in tissue/kraft paper. \n\n\n3:55–4:00 — Gather the work. Put everything together briefly for an informal “family table” display and photograph it. No forced sharing or explaining—just enjoy what everyone made \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Laura Jiménez Diecks is a visual artist working across photography\, digital collage\, and mixed media.  \n \nWith a background in art\, design\, and visual storytelling\, her work explores themes of memory\, identity\, cultural heritage\, and belonging through layered imagery and experimental techniques. \nHer work embraces the interplay of materials\, textures\, and processes\, from photographic transfers and collage to tactile explorations such as metal embossing.

She studied Fine Art at California State University East Bay\, and embroidery with the Embroiderers Guild of America and San Francisco School of Needlework and Design.  She has been teaching embroidery for 10 years at the San Francisco School of Needlework and Design and independently all over the Bay Area. Her piece called “Balance” toured the United States and Canada as part of the 2 year Sixteenth National Exhibit with the Embroiderers Guild of America. She has won numerous awards including “Best in Show” at the California State Fair in Sacramento. \nWhile Laura’s first love is doing embroidery\, her very close second is teaching embroidery. She developed her skills teaching and designing classes at the San Francisco School of Needlework and Design and now has a decade of teaching experience. She loves bringing this ancient healing art to students. \nLaura is also a biochemist with 32 years experience at Chiron/Novartis working in early stage drug discovery research for Oncology\, Infectious Diseases\, and Diagnostics. She brings this scientific and experimental mind to her Embroidery work. \nLaura once believed that art had to be framed in a gallery\, and sold to be ‘art’. In art school she pondered the question ‘what is art?’ After thinking about this for many years\, her personal answer is ‘art is communication’. Laura wears the clothes she has been embroidering on for years – her wearable art – and realized that this is a form of communication with everyone around her. It was a profound revelation for her to realize that she was already a successful artist. \nVisit her website: lauratandeske.com URL:https://ohanloncenter.org/event/spring-freestyle-flower-embroidery-workshops-with-laura-tandeske/ LOCATION:O’Hanlon Center for the Arts CATEGORIES:Community Events,Visual Arts ORGANIZER;CN="OHCA Staff":MAILTO:office@ohanloncenter.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20270228T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20270228T160000 DTSTAMP:20261104T195807Z CREATED:20261104T195236Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261104T195807Z UID:20004979-1803808800-1803830400@ohanloncenter.org SUMMARY:Spring Freestyle Flower Embroidery Workshops with Laura Tandeske DESCRIPTION:Discover the art of embroidery at O’Hanlon Center for the Arts! \nSpend a day—or the whole weekend—exploring the beautiful\, time-honored art of hand embroidery.

She studied Fine Art at California State University East Bay\, and embroidery with the Embroiderers Guild of America and San Francisco School of Needlework and Design.  She has been teaching embroidery for 10 years at the San Francisco School of Needlework and Design and independently all over the Bay Area. Her piece called “Balance” toured the United States and Canada as part of the 2 year Sixteenth National Exhibit with the Embroiderers Guild of America. She has won numerous awards including “Best in Show” at the California State Fair in Sacramento. \nWhile Laura’s first love is doing embroidery\, her very close second is teaching embroidery. She developed her skills teaching and designing classes at the San Francisco School of Needlework and Design and now has a decade of teaching experience. She loves bringing this ancient healing art to students. \nLaura is also a biochemist with 32 years experience at Chiron/Novartis working in early stage drug discovery research for Oncology\, Infectious Diseases\, and Diagnostics. She brings this scientific and experimental mind to her Embroidery work. \nLaura once believed that art had to be framed in a gallery\, and sold to be ‘art’. In art school she pondered the question ‘what is art?’ After thinking about this for many years\, her personal answer is ‘art is communication’. Laura wears the clothes she has been embroidering on for years – her wearable art – and realized that this is a form of communication with everyone around her. It was a profound revelation for her to realize that she was already a successful artist. \nVisit her website: lauratandeske.com URL:https://ohanloncenter.org/event/spring-freestyle-flower-embroidery-workshops-with-laura-tandeske-2/ LOCATION:O’Hanlon Center for the Arts CATEGORIES:Community Events,Visual Arts ORGANIZER;CN="OHCA Staff":MAILTO:office@ohanloncenter.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
