In this hands-on workshop, you\u2019ll design and create your very own 11\u201d x 18\u201d poster using text, paint, and collage techniques. We\u2019ll start by chatting about powerful phrases that speak to you, something that inspires you, makes you laugh, or just feels you. Then, we\u2019ll dive into mixing words with images, experimenting with bold designs, layered textures, and eye-catching layouts. Whether you want your message front and center or hidden in the background, this is your chance to turn your thoughts into art and take home a piece that\u2019s your vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is a free teen workshop!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group bullet-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons buttons is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-12a27398 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter bottom-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;color:#ffbf00;background-color:#ffbf00\">Book your RENTAL<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons buttons is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-12a27398 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter is-style-fill top-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;color:#00ccff;background-color:#00ccff\">Book your RENTAL<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons buttons is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-12a27398 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button top-button text is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/teenworkshop.eventbrite.com\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register TODAY<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Queer R&amp;R Workshop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This community workshop is part of our Queer R&amp;R Resistance &amp; Resilience gallery exhibit. <a href=\"https:\/\/eastbaycreativelab.org\/staging-juniorce\/?p=7766\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"QUEER R&amp;R \u2013 Resistance &amp; Resilience\">Learn more about Queer R&amp;R<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2d8282ac wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-container rectangle-left uagb-block-c5c2fe97 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-container rectangle-middle uagb-block-85d70259 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-container rectangle-right uagb-block-14a79c45 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-91b4061512b07e1da1d1b0309479dd43\" style=\"color:#00ccff\"><em>Meet the Artist<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:20% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/eastbaycreativelab.org\/staging-juniorce\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000017996-e1749685076890-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"a headshot of a man with brown eyes and salt and pepper grey hair slicked over with a grey shortly clipped beard.\" class=\"wp-image-7847 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/juniorcenter.org\/staging-juniorce\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000017996-e1749685076890-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/juniorcenter.org\/staging-juniorce\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000017996-e1749685076890-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/juniorcenter.org\/staging-juniorce\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000017996-e1749685076890-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/juniorcenter.org\/staging-juniorce\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000017996-e1749685076890-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/juniorcenter.org\/staging-juniorce\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1000017996-e1749685076890.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Jose L. Iniguez<\/strong> is an artist from California\u2019s Central Valley, based in Oakland. His work explores the themes of identity, queerness, cultural displacement, mysticism, and pop culture. While his background is in ceramics, Jose works across different mediums and approaches to tell stories that feel both personal and collective. His art often reflects on what it means to belong, especially when identity is shaped by memory, movement, and adaptation. Using tactile processes and found materials, Jose creates pieces that invite reflection and connection about the complexity of the human experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2d8282ac wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-container rectangle-left uagb-block-c5c2fe97 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-container rectangle-middle uagb-block-85d70259 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-container rectangle-right uagb-block-14a79c45 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-13037cc1c23ed5b3a4060421084c816d\" style=\"color:#ff00ff\"><em>About Saturdays at the Lab<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturdays at the Lab is a unique series of weekend art workshops connecting professional artists with our local community.
