class

blowing it

Bay seniors ready to take up a musical instrument that they can carry around in their pocket, might want to look into the Beginning Harmonica class at the Jazz School in Berkeley. It’s a serious 10-week class led by a musician with the amazing name of Winslow Yerxa and delves in the details of breathing, […]

getting warmer

Bay seniors eager to take the chill off winter might want to consider making their own ramen. I’m not talking about throwing packaged noodles in the microwave. Ramen is a refined art in Japan and increasingly so here at places like Nombe, the izakaya in the Mission. On Saturday January 11 at 2pm, they are […]

painting under the influence

Bay seniors can overcome their creative block when it comes to painting at any of the paint and wine parties run by Beyond Canvas on Polk Street in the City. Each one has an inspiration. On June 16 it’s Watercolor Landscapes. On June 23, Gauguin and on June 24 Van Gogh. Instruction is in the […]

new leaves

Bay seniors ready to get over their nostalgia for iceberg lettuce might consider stopping by the Ferry Building this Saturday March 22. Demonstrations of cooking with nettles, fava leaves, orach and arugula will introduce you to the chewy new world of leafy greens. Even learn to make your own veggie rice paper rolls. The event […]

jar jardins

Bay seniors who’ve scaled down their horticultural activities to the top of their kitchen counters might want to try their hand at creating Apothecary Jar Art Gardens. Lucky for you there’s a class in creating these miniature fantasies at the SF Botanical Garden on February 22 from 2-5. All materials including mosses, miniature ferns, lichen […]

go nuts

Bay seniors curious to know what the area’s original locavores called dinner might want to sign up for a class in Native California acorn cuisine. It’s another inventive event from East Bay Regional Parks, being held on Sunday Dec.9 from 10-4. You’ll learn to work with cracking stones, mortar, pestle, winnowing and sifting baskets and […]

knit knack

Bay seniors with time on their hands might consider holding knitting needles in them. The world of knitting has moved way beyond your grandmother’s antimicassers. Check out a hip shop called  A Verb for Keeping Warm [what were they smoking when they came up with that name?] located in yet another unexpectedly gentrifying Oakland neighborhood. […]

casting call

Bay seniors looking for exercise that won’t damage their knees, feet or backs might want to consider taking up the zen sport of fly fishing. Fortunately the formidable East Bay Regional Parks District is offering an introductory class at Lake Anza on Sunday October 12 from 7am (!) to 1pm. Fly casting lessons are alternated […]
