      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Basic Textile Area Safety Training&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is the basic required safety course for using the Textiles Area.

      <title>SuperAdobe Plaster Workshop (2026-05-09)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://crucescreatives.org/resources/Pictures/2001435966414866904.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="106" data-end="410"&gt;After working together to build this Superadobe (earthbag) wall from the ground up, we’re now moving into the next phase—plastering.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="106" data-end="410"&gt;Join us for a hands-on workshop where we’ll bring the wall to life with natural finishes while learning the fundamentals of earthen building. Join us for a hands-on introduction to earthen building as we focus on plastering a Superadobe wall from start to finish.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="106" data-end="410"&gt;This workshop will cover the fundamentals of working with natural plasters, including how to choose the right materials, proper mixing techniques, and best practices for application.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="412" data-end="712"&gt;Participants will get direct, hands-on experience shaping an earthen wall, attaching wire mesh for reinforcement, and applying both scratch and finish coats of plaster. Along the way, we will talk through the “why” behind each step so you leave with practical skills you can apply to your own projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="822" data-end="931"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="822" data-end="931"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="276" data-end="389"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="276" data-end="389"&gt;Join us for a hands-on field day exploring practical strategies for water-smart agriculture in the Southwest.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="391" data-end="581"&gt;This workshop will combine presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on planting to show how thoughtful design and efficient irrigation can support resilient growing systems in a dry climate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="583" data-end="889"&gt;We’ll start with a tour and overview of the site, including a live demonstration of the irrigation system. Participants will learn how the field is designed to capture and use rainwater effectively, with simple breakdowns of how much water is collected from both the landscape and the tank-fed drip system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="891" data-end="1066"&gt;Guest speaker &lt;strong data-start="905" data-end="923"&gt;Mike Halverson&lt;/strong&gt;, Nursery Manager at Santa Ana Native Plants, will share his experience working with native species and restoring landscapes across the region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="1068" data-end="1164"&gt;We’ll then put everything into action by helping plant &lt;strong data-start="1123" data-end="1146"&gt;4,800 native starts&lt;/strong&gt; across the field.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong data-start="1857" data-end="1888"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong data-start="1857" data-end="1888"&gt;Speaker Bio: Mike Halverson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="1891" data-end="2115"&gt;Mike Halverson is the Nursery Manager at Santa Ana Native Plants, located on the Pueblo of Santa Ana. With decades of experience in the high-desert Southwest, he specializes in growing and restoring native plant communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="2117" data-end="2343"&gt;Under his leadership, the nursery produces over 250 native species used in restoration projects across the region, including work with the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Tribal natural resource programs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="2345" data-end="2569"&gt;Mike is also a passionate educator, sharing knowledge on native plants, water conservation, and climate-resilient landscapes. His work reflects a deep understanding of Southwest ecosystems and a commitment to restoring them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong data-start="1081" data-end="1094"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

      <title>Charitable Crafting Project (2026-05-16)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://crucescreatives.org/resources/Pictures/creatives9v2.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;The Charitable Crafting Project makes textiles for good causes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In a collaborative effort, participants work hands-on, each participating as they can.&amp;nbsp; Participants with higher levels of skills in a particular area can guide those with lower skill levels, and we'll make as many garments as we have the time, materials, and labor to make.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;This is a free program using donated materials. If you’d like to be involved, you can&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Help make clothing by sewing or assisting during the charitable crafting sessions&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Donate fabric or other sewing supplies by dropping them off at Cruces Creatives during business hours. The project can use yarn, fabric pieces of ½ a yard or longer, inner facings and linings, and other sewing supplies and notions.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Donate new children's clothing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Ages:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;18 and older, or 14-17 with a parent or guardian present&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;About the facilitator:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;Dina Honeycutt has been sewing and practicing other textile crafts for about 45 years, making clothing and toys for friends, family, and charitable projects. She especially enjoys cooperative work for its opportunities to share knowledge and skills.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Textile Area Safety Training (2026-05-21)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Basic Textile Area Safety Training&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://crucescreatives.org/resources/Pictures/CC%20Sewing%20Machine.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="283.5" height="201"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is the basic required safety course for using the Textiles Area. After completing this course you will be able to use the basic level sewing machines, cutti&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ng tools, and pressing tools.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This class is intended to review safety guidelines, introduce housekeeping rules, and tour notions and materials. If you are hoping for additional sewing instruction Marty invites you to stay after class for questions or extra instruction.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Payment is due at registration (online registration requires payment within 15 minutes in order to reserve space in the class). Cancellations are only available until 48 hours before class. Refunds are only available if class is properly cancelled.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;Tasks vary widely and training is always included.&amp;nbsp; Some common tasks include soldering LEDs and hobby motors, using the laser or Cricut to prepare project materials, light janitorial and organizing work, and plenty of cutting, counting and bundling!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;The efforts of our volunteers make all the difference in the programs we are able to offer.&amp;nbsp; We literally cannot do it without you!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Charitable Crafting Project (2026-06-06)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://crucescreatives.org/resources/Pictures/creatives9v2.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;The Charitable Crafting Project makes textiles for good causes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In a collaborative effort, participants work hands-on, each participating as they can.&amp;nbsp; Participants with higher levels of skills in a particular area can guide those with lower skill levels, and we'll make as many garments as we have the time, materials, and labor to make.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;This is a free program using donated materials. If you’d like to be involved, you can&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Help make clothing by sewing or assisting during the charitable crafting sessions&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Donate fabric or other sewing supplies by dropping them off at Cruces Creatives during business hours. The project can use yarn, fabric pieces of ½ a yard or longer, inner facings and linings, and other sewing supplies and notions.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Donate new children's clothing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Ages:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;18 and older, or 14-17 with a parent or guardian present&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;About the facilitator:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;Dina Honeycutt has been sewing and practicing other textile crafts for about 45 years, making clothing and toys for friends, family, and charitable projects. She especially enjoys cooperative work for its opportunities to share knowledge and skills.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Volunteer Pod&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;The efforts of our volunteers make all the difference in the programs we are able to offer.&amp;nbsp; We literally cannot do it without you!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1D1C1D" style=""&gt;Volunteer Pods are scheduled quarterly.&amp;nbsp; New volunteers must attend orientation.

      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Basic Textile Area Safety Training&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is the basic required safety course for using the Textiles Area.

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This class is intended to review safety guidelines, introduce housekeeping rules, and tour notions and materials.

      <title>Charitable Crafting Project (2026-06-20)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://crucescreatives.org/resources/Pictures/creatives9v2.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;The Charitable Crafting Project makes textiles for good causes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In a collaborative effort, participants work hands-on, each participating as they can.&amp;nbsp; Participants with higher levels of skills in a particular area can guide those with lower skill levels, and we'll make as many garments as we have the time, materials, and labor to make.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;This is a free program using donated materials. If you’d like to be involved, you can&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Help make clothing by sewing or assisting during the charitable crafting sessions&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Donate fabric or other sewing supplies by dropping them off at Cruces Creatives during business hours. The project can use yarn, fabric pieces of ½ a yard or longer, inner facings and linings, and other sewing supplies and notions.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Donate new children's clothing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Ages:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;18 and older, or 14-17 with a parent or guardian present&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;About the facilitator:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;Dina Honeycutt has been sewing and practicing other textile crafts for about 45 years, making clothing and toys for friends, family, and charitable projects. She especially enjoys cooperative work for its opportunities to share knowledge and skills.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Basic Textile Area Safety Training&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is the basic required safety course for using the Textiles Area.

      <title>Charitable Crafting Project (2026-07-04)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://crucescreatives.org/resources/Pictures/creatives9v2.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;The Charitable Crafting Project makes textiles for good causes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In a collaborative effort, participants work hands-on, each participating as they can.&amp;nbsp; Participants with higher levels of skills in a particular area can guide those with lower skill levels, and we'll make as many garments as we have the time, materials, and labor to make.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;This is a free program using donated materials. If you’d like to be involved, you can&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Help make clothing by sewing or assisting during the charitable crafting sessions&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Donate fabric or other sewing supplies by dropping them off at Cruces Creatives during business hours. The project can use yarn, fabric pieces of ½ a yard or longer, inner facings and linings, and other sewing supplies and notions.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Donate new children's clothing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Ages:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;18 and older, or 14-17 with a parent or guardian present&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;About the facilitator:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;Dina Honeycutt has been sewing and practicing other textile crafts for about 45 years, making clothing and toys for friends, family, and charitable projects. She especially enjoys cooperative work for its opportunities to share knowledge and skills.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Textile Area Safety Training (2026-07-11)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Basic Textile Area Safety Training&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://crucescreatives.org/resources/Pictures/CC%20Sewing%20Machine.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="283.5" height="201"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is the basic required safety course for using the Textiles Area. After completing this course you will be able to use the basic level sewing machines, cutti&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ng tools, and pressing tools.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This class is intended to review safety guidelines, introduce housekeeping rules, and tour notions and materials. If you are hoping for additional sewing instruction Marty invites you to stay after class for questions or extra instruction.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Payment is due at registration (online registration requires payment within 15 minutes in order to reserve space in the class). Cancellations are only available until 48 hours before class. Refunds are only available if class is properly cancelled.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Textile Area Safety Training (2026-07-16)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Basic Textile Area Safety Training&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://crucescreatives.org/resources/Pictures/CC%20Sewing%20Machine.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="283.5" height="201"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is the basic required safety course for using the Textiles Area. After completing this course you will be able to use the basic level sewing machines, cutti&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ng tools, and pressing tools.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This class is intended to review safety guidelines, introduce housekeeping rules, and tour notions and materials. If you are hoping for additional sewing instruction Marty invites you to stay after class for questions or extra instruction.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Payment is due at registration (online registration requires payment within 15 minutes in order to reserve space in the class). Cancellations are only available until 48 hours before class. Refunds are only available if class is properly cancelled.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Charitable Crafting Project (2026-07-18)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://crucescreatives.org/resources/Pictures/creatives9v2.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;The Charitable Crafting Project makes textiles for good causes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In a collaborative effort, participants work hands-on, each participating as they can.&amp;nbsp; Participants with higher levels of skills in a particular area can guide those with lower skill levels, and we'll make as many garments as we have the time, materials, and labor to make.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;This is a free program using donated materials. If you’d like to be involved, you can&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Help make clothing by sewing or assisting during the charitable crafting sessions&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Donate fabric or other sewing supplies by dropping them off at Cruces Creatives during business hours. The project can use yarn, fabric pieces of ½ a yard or longer, inner facings and linings, and other sewing supplies and notions.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Donate new children's clothing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Ages:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;18 and older, or 14-17 with a parent or guardian present&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;About the facilitator:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;Dina Honeycutt has been sewing and practicing other textile crafts for about 45 years, making clothing and toys for friends, family, and charitable projects. She especially enjoys cooperative work for its opportunities to share knowledge and skills.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Textile Area Safety Training (2026-07-30)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Basic Textile Area Safety Training&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://crucescreatives.org/resources/Pictures/CC%20Sewing%20Machine.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="283.5" height="201"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is the basic required safety course for using the Textiles Area. After completing this course you will be able to use the basic level sewing machines, cutti&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ng tools, and pressing tools.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This class is intended to review safety guidelines, introduce housekeeping rules, and tour notions and materials. If you are hoping for additional sewing instruction Marty invites you to stay after class for questions or extra instruction.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Payment is due at registration (online registration requires payment within 15 minutes in order to reserve space in the class). Cancellations are only available until 48 hours before class. Refunds are only available if class is properly cancelled.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
