NOTE: This event is on November 9th, 6pm-8pm. Teaching artist Lazaro Arvizu will discuss and display steatite stonework of the Gabrielino/Tongva people during a lesson on Native California lifeways. Then, carve and decorate a soapstone amulet that you can wear home. All materials will be provided. Found throughout the region of Southern California, soapstone (also known as steatite or soaprock) is a softer rock that has been used as a medium for carving in many cultures for thousands of years.
