tout le monde<i>,<br></i>the workshop this saturday is going to be so much fun. If you are at all interested in painting with spray cans, this workshop will completely set you up for it. It's going from basic design principles to how do you deal with dudes at the paint store. So comprehensive, and you're guaranteed to leave with some new art made by you yourself.<br>
Also, we're still inviting people to submit for the anti-olympics art auction. Submit your art, and the proceeds go to frontline organizing against the 2010 atrocity. Doodle for justice!<br>meow.<br><br><i>WINTER <span class="il">SURVIVAL</span> <span class="il">STRATEGY</span></i><br>

<br><br></div><b>-->Dec 5 - </b><b>Vermicomposting</b><br>Vermicompost, is composting utilizing various species of worms,
specifically red wigglers, white worms, and earthworms creating the
heterogeneous mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding
materials, and pure vermicast produced during the course of normal
vermiculture operations. Vermicast, similarly known as worm castings,
worm humus or worm manure, is the end-product of the breakdown of
organic matter by the species of earthworm. It's a great way to
decrease on garbage output as well as being really fertile dirt for
plants and gardens.<br>
Each participant will leave the workshop with a compost box complete with hungry hungry worms.<div><br>
