Clay, Cookies & Create - taller de ceramica/ceramics/pottery
Are you looking to try out ceramics or up-skill your existing knowledge? Look no further! This workshop is standalone or you can book a block of 4 that need not be consecutive. It takes place in a very spacious and bright studio and you are welcomed to come with your own ideas or simply follow along and let your creativity blossom during the mindful 3 hours of making. The main technique used during the session is hand-building giving you the option to create functional ware or small sculptural work. Beginners will be guided through the process using techniques such as slab building, coiling, pinching, texturing and surface decoration. The more advanced will be free to create and those with experience throwing would be welcomed to use the wheel which would need to be reserved in advance.
Those of you who would like to learn about glazing would need to book 2 workshops.
The workshops are mainly run in English but I do speak Catalan and Spanish. They also provide a great opportunity for non-native speakers to practice their English.
They last 3 hours, materials and aprons are provided and your pieces will be fired and ready for pick up around 10 days after.
Cost: 42€/person PayPal/40€ Bizum. Block of 4 workshops 150€

Fuera de Mapa - donde empiezan las ideas que aún no te atreves a nombrar
**Cuando pensar más no es la solución.**
Todos hemos pasado por ahí: listas interminables, análisis excesivo y la sensación de que, por muchas vueltas que le demos a una idea, no termina de encajar. El pensamiento lineal tiene un límite. Para llegar a donde la lógica no alcanza, hay que cambiar de canal.
**Fuera de Mapa** es una experiencia de Pensamiento Tangible®, que convierte lo que tienes en la cabeza, ideas, dudas, intuiciones sin nombre, en algo que puedes ver, tocar y transformar.
**Lo práctico, antes de nada:**
* Plaça de Maragall 8, Barcelona
* 75 € por persona **✨ Entrada Para dos - precio de lanzamiento ✨**
* Grupo exclusivo, máximo 8 personas por ahora.
* Incluye todos los materiales (materiales diversos para crear tu Brújula Personal para llevar a casa, y copas de vino y snacks).
**Qué pasa en la sesión:**
Vamos a conversar de manera diferente, a reconectar, a jugar con ideas y posibilidades y a mirar lo que te importa desde otro lugar. Trabajaremos con las manos y con materiales diversos para dar forma a lo que te mueve y quieres crear.
**Qué te llevas:**
Aparte de la experiencia y claridad, tu Brújula Personal. Saldrás con una pieza física creada por ti. No es un adorno; es el recordatorio táctil de tus próximos pasos. Un objeto que tu cerebro reconoce como una decisión ya tomada.
Y, además, un método para toda la vida. Una forma distinta de abordar tus retos cuando el pensamiento lógico no es suficiente.
**Lo que necesitas saber:**
No necesitas experiencia ni habilidades concretas.
Esto va de conectar contigo mismo y lo que ya está en ti. Tu intuición ya lo sabe!
Reserva tu sitio y descubre lo que pasa cuando dejas que **tus manos te muestren el camino.**
Si no bebes vino, avísanos con antelación y preparamos otra bebida para ti.
🎟️ **Reserva de plaza (Imprescindible):** Para esta experiencia las plazas son muy limitadas. Estar apuntado aquí en Meetup no garantiza el acceso.

Entrenament de SOFTCOMBAT i JUGGER, de 11-14.30h a PARC CIUTADELLA
**[QUÉ ES EL SOFTCOMBAT?](https://youtu.be/Essu82NpRvc)**
**[Qué es el Jugger? | El Jugger, qué es y cómo jugarlo](https://youtu.be/dfyrlQn14oM)**
**[Qué es el LARP?](https://youtu.be/fB3FkxDZhBA)**
El Softcombat és una activitat esportiva en la qual, mitjançant armes embuatades (conegudes com boffers), es recreen combats medievals, es practiquen jocs d'equip i s'aprenen moviments marcials de combat. El Rol en Viu consisteix a afegir-li una acció més teatral i dramàtica a aquests enfrontaments.
Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar.
**És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen. A la tarda, es queda (a vegades) un petit grup, però no es pot garantir la seva presència fins a les 18h, sobretot a l'hivern. Recomanem anar de demà.**

L'ÚLTIM ÀTOM (2)
**Una tragicomèdia apocalíptica al més estil de Jordi Oriol.**
El present ha imposat un ultimàtum a la humanitat, si de veritat vol tenir futur. Mentre un gabinet científic convocat d'urgència dissenya un pla per respondre a la desintegració de la matèria que permet la vida humana, dos germans s'enfronten a la pèrdua del llenguatge que pateix el seu pare, amb la convicció que tot allò que deixa d'anomenar-se, deixa d'existir.
Una història de números, explicada amb lletres. Terrenal, però amb el cap als núvols.
Autoria i direcció: **Jordi Oriol**
Intèrprets:
**Joan Carreras**
**Mia Esteve**
**Carme Milán**
**Carles Pedragosa**

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

Stalker
Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending.
*Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.
Shut Up & Write!™ Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Saturday!
