Artist Mai Ryuno, owner of Play Full Ground studio at 550 Lighthouse Avenue, Suite E in Monterey, is offering introductory workshops for people to explore their creativity through drawing, photography, or video. Get more information and register here.
Mai has chosen drawing, photography, and video as mediums for you to experiment with ideas, create visual storytelling, and learn about yourself. She wants to empower you to embrace your uniqueness and express yourself with confidence. These introductory workshops allow you to explore different mediums, create quick and creative work, and learn about the endless possibilities of art and storytelling.
These workshops are for anyone and everyone! They will be especially beneficial if you are: living a routine life and wanting to spark joy in everyday life, are not knowing what you want to do, or are looking for a community that prioritizes freedom and kindness. No prior artistic experience is necessary.
There is no need for fancy tools and techniques - what you have is enough for your journey of artistic discovery and exploration. To begin, just bring yourself and your unique perspective.
Mai Ryuno is an interdisciplinary, performance, and installation artist and educator whose work is inspired by everyday life activities. Since 2008, she's taught visual art and community development at institutions of higher education: being a professor at Hartnell College, Monterey Peninsula College, an assistant director and visiting faculty for youth and adult programs at San Francisco Art Institute, and a lead instructor at Center for Cities + Schools, UC Berkeley.

Hey everyone. Meet Lynna and her shop, Woofboard! It's a unique place for dog treats and dog related toys, treats, accessories, grooming supplies, supplements, and other items produced by artisan makers and independent producers.
Woofboard is first and foremost a dog charcuterie shop with natural dog treats that don't have a lot additives because Lynna's inspiration for the shop was her own dog who has allergies to many ingredients in commercial dog goodies. The other dog related products at the store are all sourced from independent producers. Many of the products are only sold online and aren't normally available in stores. Lynna's shop is your chance to get up close and personal with products you may have only seen in social media ads.
Besides, unique products, you'll also be finding events for dog lovers at Woofboard. It's a great event space and they'll be taking advantage of it to help you connect with other dog parents over fun activities. In fact, there's one coming up on Thursday, September 26th. It's a Paint Your Pet sip and paint night where you'll be guided through making a canvas painting of your fur baby by an instructor.
