WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS - https://craftingtime.straw.page/

Crafting Time is a series of public art x writing workshops about calendars and time, culminating in a group exhibition/reading. Funds will go toward supporting the financial accessibility, development, instruction time, physical materials, and other resources involved in running this workshop series.

Led by Sun Park and J. Yuru Zhou, we will explore the spiritual, political histories of calendar-making and the relational nature of calendars through readings, discussions, poetry/craft exercises, art objects, and shared ritual.

Hosted at four different spaces across SF and the East Bay, we will gather in arts/writing/alternative community spaces, journeying from the fall of 2026 to the 2027 Lunar New Year.

This is for artists, writers, cultural workers, and anyone else in the Bay Area who finds themselves crushed by the foot of capitalism and alienated by industrial time, but striving to create alternative life infrastructure nonetheless!! 🤹‍♀️

SLIDING SCALE / NOTAFLOF

These workshops are offered on a trust-based sliding scale donation model, which functions to both allow the class to be accessible to anyone who wants to take it (with NOTAFLOF), and for those who are in the position to do so, to support others in accessing the course. Our sliding scale, which we offer as a benchmark, not as a prescription: (1) - $20 (2) - $35 (3) - $50 (4) - $65

Corresponding to Referencing Warrior Wisdom NVC's Sliding Scale Guide, which has more detailed descriptions here -

(1) Reduced - This rate supports individuals frequently struggling to meet basic needs or navigating a financial crisis.
(2) Standard - The standard rate is the foundational cost of the course.
This rate is designed for those who generally meet their basic needs with some room for discretionary spending.
(3) Redistribution - This rate is for those comfortably exceeding their basic needs with ample discretionary funds, who can thus contribute towards equitable economic distribution.
(4) Patron - This rate is a call to those who are in a position of significant economic advantage and wish to act as patrons of the course, helping to spread the work and support others. It’s a testament to a commitment towards creating a more equitable and just society by leveraging one’s own resources and privileges.
