    COURSE DESCRIPTION:

    Join us for a presentation by the "Magic Man" himself, Louis Lemoine! We will be meeting in Lakewood on Saturday, October 19, 1pm-5pm. 

    Prior to the pandemic, Louis regularly taught for the Solar Nibs group at the Iacaboni Library in Lakewood. After a mini hiatus, we are delighted to revive this gathering. For this first meeting, Louis will discuss his experiences and share some cool stories and his work at Disney, plus an extra little something! There will be a Q&A session to follow. This meeting will be a kick-off to the 1-day in-person workshops that will be taught by Louis (more information to come later). 

    We will have light refreshments. We ask that you bring a little something to share.

    PRESENTER: Barbara Close


    SPONSOR: South Los Angeles Chapter (Solar Nibs)


    COURSE DESCRIPTION:


    In this workshop, we will be painting & collaging small treasures to wear as jewelry art. Some call these Amulets. What is an Amulet? It is an object which has “magical, intrinsic powers” to give protection to its wearer - by absorbing any negative

    energies and works like a self-charging solar battery. These can also be tiny, decorated

    books to wear. It is said that Amulets prevent colds, bring money and give you general

    good luck. Enjoy your Amulet!


    This workshop will be recorded and available for a month. 


    Zoom invitation and handouts, if any, will be sent out a few days prior to workshop date.
