Itty Bitty Chit Chat

11:00 AM

 

We are pleased to present another series of Itty Bitty Chit Chat, a baby sign language class with Hubbell Radue

Each session is a concentrated curriculum consisting of 20 useful signs to use with your baby during daily routines. These signs will help you bridge the communication gap between you and your baby while boosting his/her IQ level and stimulating cognitive development. As a visual language your child will have the ability to communicate sooner meaning fewer tantrums, greater self-esteem and confidence, as well as establishing a stronger parent-child relationship. American Sign Language will be taught with acute awareness of placement, hand shape and expression in order to emulate the language accurately and give your baby the added benefits of bilingual development.

Hubbell Radue is a certified Educational Sign Language Interpreter with extensive classroom experience as a teacher and interpreter. Fluent in American Sign Language since 2002, she became a freelance sign language interpreter in 2007 working primarily in the medical industry fields of women’s health and pediatrics. In 2009 she returned to education as a sign language interpreter for K-12. While pregnant with her first baby, Hubbell decided to develop a curriculum to teach her husband to cultivate early communication with their baby. The curriculum became a passion she calls Itty Bitty Chit Chat, and now she teaches all over Los Angeles, enabling parents with the tools to chat with their babies early and often.

There will be four sessions on Sundays at 11 am beginning June 30. The class fee is $100 for all four classes in advance or $25 for a single class.

Play Memory Maps

1:00 PM

 

 
Play memory mapping is a mode of mapping that is highly inaccurate, totally subjective, and useless as a navigation device. Play memory maps are handmade depictions of remembered places, of the activities and events that shaped our childhood and taught us about life. They often document the houses we grew up in, the yards we explored, our neighborhood friends (and foes!) and the secret worlds we created. Most importantly, a play memory map details a definitive moment in our lives that many of us spend little time reflecting upon.
 
Professional play advocate and avid memory-mapper Lila Higgins of the Natural History Museum leads this all-ages exploration into creativity, storytelling and the intellectual practice of play. During this workshop, we’ll engage in a variety of drawing and writing games, discuss theories of play, and keep our brains and hands busy visualizing and documenting our histories through the medium of topography.
 
Join us on Sunday, March 24 at 1 pm for Play Memory Maps

Screen 'N Zine

Screen 'N Zine

6:00 PM

 

It's zines to the extremes!

In honor of L.A. Zine Fest, Robey Clark and Adriana Yugovich are tag-teaming to make all your zine-making dreams come true. Give us two Hamiltons and three hours, and you'll be going home with at least one original piece of self-published, underground print work as well as an 11"x17" collaborative poster. 

You'll learn a lot in this crash course: we'll cover the basic screen printing process as well as various folding and binding techniques and classic idea-generating strategies. Some of our creations will be contributed to the Zine Fest Library for future zinesters to enjoy forever and ever, amen.

Sign up today!
