Creating Blackout Poetry with Linda
Linda Zwick is a long-time teacher with the Fuller Lodge Art Center who annually brings a delight with her Pysanky Easter Egg Dyeing classes and wonderful bookmaking and binding workshops. This fall, we are excited to introduce Linda's newest class offering: Creating Blackout Poetry! Using pages from old books, marking tools and washi tape, we will explore creating new meaning from old text. This class is catered to adults; however, if a smaller loved one would like to tag along, we're happy to accommodate.

He’s been a finalist in the Monsoon Music House Songwriting Contest and the Telluride Blues Challenge from the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival. His most recent release is The Ones That Brought You Home (Southern Crescent Recording Co. 2025). Tom is also an acclaimed fiction writer. In 2025, Crescent City Books published his detective novel, Wait There Till You Hear from Me. He lives in Albuquerque and performs solo, as a sideman, and a bandleader.

Summer Fair!
The Los Alamos Arts Council’s Arts and Crafts Fair is free for visitors and fun for all ages. Nestled on the lawn east of historic Fuller Lodge, this craft fair hosted by the Los Alamos Arts Council is a perfect excuse to visit Los Alamos and to partake in the rich arts and cultural district located downtown.
If you’re a vendor looking to participate, it has come to our attention that Booth Central has begun offering optional insurance products including Refund Protection. The Los Alamos Arts Council does not endorse any of these insurance products, which appear to be offered by an external vendor. We encourage individual vendors to research any add-ons independently.

The Art of Self Stewardship with Kristine
This workshop is designed for women who are experiencing or are recovering from chronic stress and burnout to develop a practice of mindful, creative self-stewardship. Participants will create handmade journals for practicing simple art techniques and noting insights during the 4 week class, and will leave the workshop with their own mindful making kit.
Based on the work of Cynda Rushton, PhD and Roshi Joan Halifax, PhD, this series will include recognizing when our best intentions become harmful edge states, learning practices to regain and maintain energy, balance, and creativity, and connecting through sharing circles. No art experience required as we will be experimenting with simple pen line drawing and watercolor painting.
All materials will be provided. This workshop series will take place at the Fuller Lodge Art Center (2132 Central Avenue). Please note that this workshop is also in service of our instructor's degree program and some observations may appear in her final research paper.
To inquire about a scholarship for this series, please reach out to Classes@LAAC-FLAC.org
