Ethan Stern, originally from Ithaca, New York, now lives in LA’s Frogtown neighborhood, where he and his wife Amanda run Studio Melt—a creative space focused on sculpture, design, and community. With a background in ceramics and glass from schools in Australia and Alfred University, Ethan’s work pushes glass beyond tradition, embracing bold textures, light, and color. His pieces have been shown around the world and live in major museum collections, but at the heart of it all is his love for the handmade and the beauty found in every carved mark.

The Community Center of La Cañada Flintridge (CCLCF) has been a welcoming hub for all ages since 1948. Nestled at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, it started as the La Cañada Youth House—built entirely by volunteers in 1951—and has been serving the community ever since.
Now known as CCLCF, the center offers fun, enriching programs for everyone from preschoolers to seniors. It’s powered by community support through grants, donations, rentals, and popular fundraisers—like our beloved ceramics sales each spring and winter, and the Thanksgiving 5K Run & Food Drive, a local tradition for over 40 years.
Come join us—we’re all about connection, creativity, and community.
