Rushadicus the Infamous Cello Goblín is a post-medieval metal jester of otherdimensional glee who prefers precarious perches to dazzle and delight. With mystical language of Sneth and textural noise-based birdstudied kazoo, it causes a romping nonsense catharsis party of weird wiggly wizardry: a "bejickment" for the brave, the curious, and the wild of mynde... - @rushadicus

Location: Entrance of Arana Gulch – Agnes Street at Mentel Avenue

Location: Meeting at the south side of the ball fields at De Laveaga Park – 855 Branciforte Dr, Santa Cruz, CA

We will learn about specific plants as well as talk about the use and ethical considerations of terms like invasive, naturalized, introduced, and native plants. Potential plants we will see include pineapple weed, common madia, honeysuckle, periwinkle, and blackberry.
Community care note: This class will be outside on uneven trails. Please do not attend if you are not feeling well.

Materials: We will have readings that people can read beforehand for the discussion.
Community care note: encouraged masking but not required.
Location: Fábrica in Pacific Ave Courtyard, 703 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz
Description: This class will cover the creation, care, and feeding of an organic indigo vat as well as resist techniques for creating patterns on cloth. Each student will create a working indigo “mother” The mothers will then be combined to form a vat in which to dip the cloth prepped with resist patterns. Limited to 6 participants.
Materials: Fabric and indigo will be supplied – a $5 – $10 donation to cover supplies would be appreciated. Students can bring their own plant fiber (cotton, linen, ramie, etc) etc to dye. For best results, all fabric should be laundered without fabric softener or dryer sheets. NOTAFLOF for real – no one turned away for lack of funds.
Location: Ocean View Park – 102 Ocean View Ave, Santa Cruz, CA 95062
Description: In this workshop you will learn the value of writing in community, shatter writers’ block, and explore and expand your voice. You may write poetry, memoir, fiction, creative nonfiction, exploratory pieces, or anything else. The focus is on process, curiosity, and discovery, rather than perfection or critique. Writers of all genres and experience levels are welcome.
Materials: Writers should bring a blanket or chair to sit on in the park, and writing materials knowing we might not have tables. I will have a few small clipboards.
Community care note: We will be in a public space outside. Masks are, of course, welcome, but not required. The park has multiple surfaces including grass and granite pathways. There are two designated handicapped street parking spots located at the end of the residential zone on Ocean View Avenue. There are public restrooms. There will certainly be dogs. If there are any accessibility needs, please reach out to the teacher.
Location: Fábrica in Pacific Ave Courtyard, 703 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz
Description: Bring your clean, natural fiber fabric items to dip in the organic indigo dye vat. Let’s all get blue!
Materials : Please consider a donation of $3 – $5 for materials. Bring your own clothing or fabric to dip if you would like – unhemmed fabric squares will also be available if you just want to experiment. Plant-based fibers such as cotton, linen, or hemp work best with the indigo vat. Items should be clean and laundered without fabric softener or dryer sheets. NOTAFLOF for real – no one turned away for lack of funds.
Community care note: Class will be outdoors in the courtyard.

SubRosa is a collectively run anarchist community space, a place to meet others and challenge our assumptions and act on our passions. We strive to create a vibrant environment for events, classes, meetings, organizing, performance, art, studying and more. SubRosa also offers radical literature, and houses the Anarchist Lending Library. We welcome folks to join us in fostering an environment free from coercion, sexism, queer&homophobia, racism, ableism and other hierarchies. Let’s create together the world(s) we want to live in now. http://www.subrosaproject.org/
SubRosa is part of the Hub Community Center, in downtown Santa Cruz, CA which is the unceded homelands of the Awaswas-speaking Ohlone people known as the Uypi, who stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Centuries of colonial violence led to the removal and displacement of the Uypi. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.
