SUMMARY:Seed to Linen (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Due to its durability\, beauty\, and versatility\, flax has been cultivated to produce linen for more than 10\,000 years. Honoring this deep history\, we will discuss the growing needs of this fiber plant as well as processing steps and equipment required to get started growing and making your own linen fiber. \nThis workshop will take place online. Registrants will receive an email with a link to the Zoom event. \nInstructor: Melanie Wilder \nMelanie Wilder is a weaver\, spinner\, and natural dyer. She has spent the past 20 years dedicated to learning and teaching\, living in the Asheville\, NC area where she runs the fiber program at Warren Wilson College. She is interested in exploring how process crosses into our daily living and how intentional choices can help shape our footprint on the future. This involves the yearly rhythm of growing fibers and dyes and how the textiles made from these plants create ritual and meaning. Fascinated by historical uses and fiber techniques from across the globe and the context in which we use this information as we move forward as contemporary weavers and makers\, she hopes to inspire those she works with to find their voice within the world of fiber. \nhttps://wildearthtextiles.com

SUMMARY:Grow Your Dye Garden (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is dedicated to the dye plants that can be cultivated in our region. We will talk about the historical uses of these dyes and discuss what you need to know about planting and maintaining your color garden. When do you plant\, how far do you space the plants\, how much to plant\, what parts of the plant give dye\, etc. \nThis workshop will take place online. Registrants will receive an email with a link to the Zoom event. \nInstructor: Melanie Wilder \nMelanie Wilder is a weaver\, spinner\, and natural dyer. She has spent the past 20 years dedicated to learning and teaching\, living in the Asheville\, NC area where she runs the fiber program at Warren Wilson College. She is interested in exploring how process crosses into our daily living and how intentional choices can help shape our footprint on the future. This involves the yearly rhythm of growing fibers and dyes and how the textiles made from these plants create ritual and meaning. Fascinated by historical uses and fiber techniques from across the globe and the context in which we use this information as we move forward as contemporary weavers and makers\, she hopes to inspire those she works with to find their voice within the world of fiber. \nhttps://wildearthtextiles.com

SUMMARY:Wet Felting
DESCRIPTION:Wool fibers have tiny scales that stick out from the hair shaft a microscopic bit. When wool is shocked by dramatic changes in temperature or by rubbing (especially with soap)\, those scales lift up\, then lock down the nearby fibers into a dense mass. That’s felt. If you’ve accidentally put your wool sweater through the hot wash cycle and/or the dryer\, you have intimate knowledge of this process. \n  \nNot all felting is destructive. You can use the same process to produce some wonderful wooly art. In this class you’ll use a white batt as a base\, and embellish with a wide variety of dyed wool. You’ll leave with a finished piece and the equipment you’ll need to create more at home. \n  \nRegister by completing this Google Form. Receipt of payment secures your spot. Venmo is best; PayPal if you don’t use Venmo. melanie@crockettfiberstudio.com\nLimited to 15 participants\nSponsored by Crockett Fiber Arts Studio and McIntyre Ranch\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Ice Dyeing Wool
DESCRIPTION:Fiber\, water\, acid\, and dye are the ingredients needed to dye a skein of yarn. In this class the water source will be ice. The dye is delivered to the yarn gradually as the ice melts\, resulting in some remarkable color results. Way too much fun! \n  \nThe class cost includes two skeins of wool yarn\, plenty of ice\, and lots of dye color choices. We are limiting the class to 15 participants. You might want to bring a project to work on while you wait for the ice to melt. You can also choose to go for a hike or visit with the many animals on the ranch. We’ll have some cold drinks for you\, too. \n  \nRegister by completing this Google Form. Receipt of payment secures your spot.
