Osher Special Events with Fees
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
Osher Special Events with Fees provide a fun way for members to socialize and experience our surrounding community together. These events and tours also help us form new friendships and stay connected in between terms when classes are not in session. Events are organized by a dedicated committee of volunteer members and through partnerships with multiple cultural organizations and businesses in our area. Registration and payment of fees are required to attend. Osher Special Events with Fees provide materials, food, beverages, supplies, space rental, etc. that must be paid in advance to each vendor. Therefore, these fees are non-refundable. Members are allowed to invite non-member guests only by advance permission from the Osher staff and on a space-available basis for each individual event. PLEASE NOTE: YOU MAY NEED TO SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE TO SEE ALL THE EVENTS LISTED. Osher Special Events in 2026 are brought to you in part from funding from ZAP.

Cyanotype SunPrinting: ($10 special fee) Cyanotype is an early photographic process that uses sunlight to create deep blue prints on fabric. By arranging leaves, flowers, and natural objects on treated cloth, the sun reveals delicate silhouettes and botanical patterns in rich indigo tones. Located at Handcraft Revival, each participant will create one cyanotype fabric flag, perfect for hanging in a window, adding to a wall display, or incorporating into a banner or textile project. We'll provide the fabric flag and a selection of botanical materials to print with, but you're welcome to bring interesting leaves, flowers, lace, or small objects from home to experiment with as well. The $10 special fee is due upon arrival. Please plan enough travel time to allow yourself time to check in and pay as part of the Osher group.
