If you’re looking for local activities this Thanks Giving Holiday the Santa Monica museum has a wonderful exhibit on Beatrice Wood. I personally love to visit her house and now museum in Ojai, but this exhibit is quite extensive and really captures her talent and life. Just to look at photos of her in her extensive native jewelry collection is a treat. Wood had such an interesting life as an accomplished actress and later as a potter. Some say the French film Jules and Jim was based on her and her relationship with Marcel Duchamp and Henri Pierre Roche. She moved to Ojai in her later years to be near her dear friend and spiritual guru Krishnamurti. She once said, 

“My life is full of mistakes. They’re like pebbles that make a good road.”
