Compost, mulch, cover cropping, and hedgerows all benefit soil. They increase soil biodiversity and nutrient levels, yielding healthier and more fertile crops. They protect soil structure by aiding in water retention, runoff prevention, and erosion protection. These natural and sustainable practices save costs in the long run through decreased water use and a reduced need for purchased additives. Attendees must pre-register. These practices are covered under the California Department of Food And Agriculture’s Healthy Soils Program Incentives grant, which provides funding to farmers to improve the health of their soils. In this webinar, we will cover: * An introduction to the Healthy Soils Program * The benefits, steps, and options for each of the four practices * Compost * Mulch * Cover crop * Hedgerows * Required documentation steps for the Healthy Soils Program * Outlook for next HSP grant cycles Thank you to our sponsors, the California Department of Food And Agriculture and California Climate Investments.

This is a unique opportunity to study with two accomplished and warmhearted artist-educators in the same course. Ken and Stephanie are both well known for their ability to help each person find their own unique drawing abilities. For the first three weeks, Stephanie will introduce you to well-founded drawing techniques by working from carefully selected high-quality past and present master portraits and figures. Beginners are encouraged to start out with pencil or charcoal, while those with more experience may work in other mediums of their choosing. During the last three weeks, Ken will introduce color theory to portraits and figures using watercolor. But you can use any medium of your choice, as Ken also works in oils, acrylics, pastels, colored pencils, etc., and the same color concepts apply to all mediums. All levels are welcome because instruction and demonstrations are given on an individual and group basis. Materials: Since this is an online class, just use the materials you are already comfortable with. You do not need to buy anything on this list. It is just a suggestion: the simpler the better. For gestures, you need only newsprint; a drawing board (a piece of 3/16” thick foam-core drawing support cut to 19” x 25”, with four bulldog clips); very soft vine charcoal; a kneaded eraser; and one color-pastel for accents.

Of Stardust Live offers innovative pop up Art + Music experiences open to all levels of art exposure! We explore the fusion between meditation, movement, community, and creation in an intimate container. This is a welcoming space to play, create, dream, evolve. The evening will begin with connected breath, coherent heart meditation, and eye gazing and then we will draw our muses. Open new channels of creativity and drop out of the thinking, judging mind, and into the body and its beautiful intuition. It’s not about being a professional artist, everyone has the capacity to create art and tap into their unique way of expressing it. 1-2 live nude figure models will begin with short poses for quick sketches and progress into longer 5-15 min held poses as we go deeper into the practice. Joe Marson will serenade the room during the live sketching and then end the night with a soul/funk/rock dance party!
