Conquering H Mart Blitz

Fee: $52

Leader: Debra Samuels, Cookbook Author, Food Writer, Cooking Instructor

Ages 18+

The Asian Supermarket, H Mart, is just up the road from Bedford but can seem a world away. The aisles are full of what for some are unfamiliar treasures: sauces, noodles, dumplings, seaweed, rice, tofu, fresh Korean side dishes (banchan), an ocean of fish, fields of teas and condiments, and so much more. But for those who are unacquainted with some of the ingredients and see unrecognizable labels, the football-field size of the store can be too daunting for an enjoyable experience. Join Debra Samuels, as she helps de-mystify H Mart and guides you through the market.

This one day ‘blitz’ class will provide an overview experience with time for questions, shopping, and snacking. Goodie bags and handouts with recipes and tips on how to stock your own “starter” Asian pantry provided. Please bring a recipe that you would like to try, wear comfortable shoes, and bring a sweater! Class meets at H Mart, 3 Old Concord Rd, Burlington at the Food Court entrance.

Wednesday, April 8 | 6:00 - 8:30 PM | Min 6/Max 12 | H Mart Burlington Debra Samuels is the author of three cookbooks: “My Japanese Table”, “The Korean Table”, and in 2025, “Japanese Cooking with Kids”’ all from Tuttle Publishing. She was a food and travel writer for the Boston Globe, a caterer, and is presently the Program Content and Curriculum Developer for TABLE FOR TWO USA’s Japanese food education program.

Proper exposure (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), histogram, white balance, camera shooting modes and focusing modes, lenses, digital file types, file resolution and other fundamental digital camera controls will be covered. Through weekly lectures, demonstrations and assignments, you will gain essential photographic knowledge and develop a comfort with your camera, helping you to make better images and get the most out of your modern digital camera.

In addition to learning new technical skills – including additional camera functions and an introduction to the use of flash - we will address the visual elements of making images, helping you elevate your skills from taking snapshots to making photographs. Discussions include: identifying and isolating the subject, elements of composition, and effective use of color in your photographs.

Art & Crafts: Spring

Floating Through the Universe

15

Have you ever wanted to slow down time and feel what it’s like to float in space? Would you like to explore color as pure energy - moving freely, expanding, and transforming without control or fear of mistakes? I invite you to a calm, immersive silk painting experience inspired by the vastness, mystery, and silence of the Universe.

We will not be learning how to paint or following strict techniques.

Instead, we will watch how color drifts across silk like cosmic dust, how layers merge like distant galaxies, and how unexpected forms appear just as they do in space. This workshop is about letting go, trusting the process, and allowing your own inner Universe to unfold on silk. By the end, you will create a one-of-a-kind cosmic piece that carries a sense of movement, depth, and flight.

Lidia looks forward to floating through the Universe and painting on silk with you as we celebrate Star Wars Day! All materials provided; just bring your curiosity and sense of wonder.

Monday, May 4 | 6:30 - 8:30 PM | Min 5/Max 13 | Kids’ Club Rm 152

The Color of Taste - RED Do you want to explore your creative side? Do you want to experiment with colors without fear of making a mistake? Come join Lidia in this easy, magical, and relaxing adventure into the world of freedom and creativity, after which you will get a masterpiece created by your own hands.

What does red taste like? Of course, it tastes of strength, joy, energy, maturity, and love. The taste of red is the taste of the King of all fruits - the Pomegranate! Let’s paint together this symbol of sun, life, abundance, rebirth and immortality. A symbol of love.

Monday, June 29 | 6:30 - 9:00 PM | Min 5/ Max 13 | Kids’ Club Rm 152

This neurographic art style is designed to offer a therapeutic experience and psychological method that uses drawing and coloring to connect the mind and emotions with the subconscious. This technique will process emotions, reduce stress, foster creativity, and inspire change by using specific drawing algorithms. This process helps to transform thoughts and feelings into a visual medium, promoting self discovery and emotional healing. At the end of the night you will go home with your “marker masterpiece” canvas painting.
