Ikebana Floral Arranging (In-Person)
Felicia Pan-Fea, certified Ikebana artist and teacher
Open to all levels of experience, this course will teach students how to create beautiful floral arrangements in the Ikenobo-school style of Ikebana, the oldest school of Japanese floral arrangement. This course will involve hands-on learning of the techniques and structure used in several different styles of arrangement, and will also cover basic spiritual concepts behind the arrangements. Students will complete an arrangement in each class. For those students who wish to advance their level, a Certificate of Completion from the Ikenobo School of Kyoto, Japan, will be granted for an additional fee and will be discussed in class. NOTE: Students will need their own scissors/flower cutter, vase/container ($50 and up), and a pin frog/kenzan, all of which may be purchased from the instructor or bring your own. Floral materials will be provided by the instructor for $17.50 per class payable to the instructor at the first class. Please bring a shallow, wide, open-mouthed container to the first class (bowl vase, or fruit plate is okay for the first class).

Walking the Path Alone and Together: A Men’s Support Group
2023-03-22 19:00 - 21:00, 2023-03-08 19:00 - 21:00
Please join us on the first and third Wednesday of every month where men from all walks of life are welcome to gather at the DIY and share their life experience in a safe, supportive and judgment-free setting.
The group organizer, and your host, David (Dave) Eisenhardt, is neither a counselor nor a therapist, but a Flemington resident who believes strongly in the value of a community for men. His own life experiences include marriage, divorce and re-marriage, raising children, the 9/11 terrorist attack, navigating the pandemic, etc.
The structure of the meeting will include a brief opening remark from the organizer and then we will go around the circle and invite attendees to share (for 3 or 4 minutes) what is on their mind while others listen in a supportive way without counseling or offering advice during the meeting. Attendees are welcome to also simply attend and listen.
Each meeting will run two hours and attendees are asked to sign up in advance, so that we know how many chairs we need and that we don’t exceed occupancy limits of the space. While the meeting is free to attend, we will pass a hat for those who may wish to make a donation to the DIY space.
The gathering is founded on inclusivity and welcomes all participants. Our core values insist on respect for the individual based on each person’s inherent dignity and value regardless of differences of race, creed, color, religion, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, political opinions or affiliations, socio-economic circumstance, or veteran status.
Water and Coffee will be available.

Hey, songwriters: Do you have songs that are half finished? Lyrics you’re not entirely happy with? A songwriting circle is not a performance. It’s an opportunity to connect with other songwriters, play your song idea for us – whether it’s fully formed or not – and receive gentle, respectful, and constructive feedback. All genres welcome! Please bring a few hard copies of your lyrics to share (they’ll be returned to you). We have a piano available. Donations at the door.
