As Firefly clashes with the Sylvanian ambassador (Louis Calhern), plenty of mayhem ensues, and the countries verge on all-out war. Note: The Onyx is 21+ theatre.

Nevada City Winery Gallery - Cheri Guerrette "Double Trouble"
Nevada City Chamber
This show is based on Cheri Guerrette's love of the figurative image, developing an overall concept to tell a story relating to the American culture of the 1950’s and 60’s. She is drawn to the elegance, style and simplicity of that era.
Type of Event: Visual Art / Gallery. Event Location: Nevada City Winery. City/Area: Nevada City. Price: free. Age Range: All Ages. Event Details: Guerrette has explored this era before, mostly with one-woman portraits. This series, however, doubles the women - one & one makes two together. The strong bonds and support between women are evident, some are even bolder together, and most look ready to ‘take on the world’ their way.
The exhibit runs through June 22.

The process is both rewarding and relaxing, as you take a piece of raw wood and turn it into a functional work of wood art. Under the guidance of our experienced instructor, you’ll start by learning the basics of wood lathe operation and safety. Once you’re comfortable with the equipment, we’ll move on to selecting and preparing the wood for turning. With the wood secured on the lathe, you’ll use a series of specially designed tools to shape the bowl.
At the end of the class, you’ll take home a beautiful, hand-turned bowl that you can be proud of. You’ll also have the woodturning skills and knowledge to continue turning bowls on your own.
