February 2021 Mendocino Coast Events

Spring flowers are poking through the rain-fed, lush green grass on the Mendocino Coast. While adhering to COVID-19 mask-wearing safe-distancing guidelines, we’re getting restaurant take-out and dining outside whenever possible. And let’s not forget the “mental health” benefits we get from walking and looking at the beautiful landscapes and oceanscapes on the Mendocino Coast.

All February

The Noyo Center for Marine Science is holding a Waves and Wine Virtual Adult Art Workshop. This is the first in a series of winter art and science virtual workshops for adults. Host Sue “Magoo” Coulter will present local artist Sally Rodriguez. Grab a glass of your favorite wine, beer, or cup of tea and learn how to make your own silk screen, using simple materials you gather beforehand. Their inspiration is for marine images, but you can use your own design for cards, bags, T-shirts, and more. Cost: $30. Register for the workshop or contact Sue for more information at sue@noyocenter.org.
