Community Story Circle
Saturday, June 7, 10 am
Register Here
Join Fuse Theatre for a free community workshop! Discover the power of storytelling and connection at this engaging event led by Fuse founder and artistic director Stacey Ardelean.
Whether you’re new to Fuse or already familiar with our work, this is a great opportunity to learn how we collaborate with communities through the arts.
We’ll use a Story Circle—a fun and interactive way to listen, share, and create together. Come ready to explore your own voice and hear from others as we exchange stories, perspectives, and ideas. We’ll ask questions, spark conversations, and build new connections in a welcoming, inclusive space.
No experience necessary—just bring your curiosity and creativity. Let’s create something meaningful together. Come play with us!

Weaving the Community
Project Launch: Saturday, June 14, 11 am–3pm. Additional dates to be announced.
Come participate inWeaving the Community–an on-site public project on the window sills at the Center for Creativity. Learn to weave. Fun for all ages!
Inside the Center for Creativity we will paint handprints on a large piece of Tyvek paper which will be woven into the community tapestry. Outside, there will be the opportunity to weaving a colorful tapestry with various yarns and paint parts of the structural weaving apparatus (a homemade creative loom you might say). Jodi Paley is the project lead. Assisting the project is fellow Black Sheep Hand Weavers Guild weaver and a founding member of Madrone Arts in Pescadero, Kathleen Dickey.
About Jodi Paley
Jodi Paley first observed weavers on her honeymoon in New Mexico in 1989, but didn’t think there was any way that she could learn the craft back home in the Bay Area. In 2003 her daughter began attending The Peninsula School in Menlo Park where there was a weaving program during extracurricular time. She volunteered to assist in the weaving room, teaching kids as young as kindergarten and managing to learn enough to stay one step ahead of the students. After acquiring her own loom (she now has 4 large looms), she was asked to start selling her weavings and a business (Stich-te Naku Weaving & Fiber Arts) was born. As time went on, she added other fiber crafts to her repertoire – dyeing yarn, felting, basketry, and most recently sashiko & boro. In addition Jodi is the founder and leader of Chase the Chill in Redwood City, where hand made (knit, crochet, weave, felt, cut fleece) scarves, hats, socks, and gloves are collected and then hung up at various locales around town for anybody to take. Over the course of 9 years more than 1200 items have been made and shared by the community. Jodi is also on the board of the Black Sheep Hand Weavers Guild, active in the Conference of Northern California Handweavers (CNCH), the Director of Artist Outreach & Communications for ART on the Squared and is now a partner in the Mirada Art on Main Gallery in downtown Half Moon Bay.
