SUMMARY:Workshop: Weaving on a Mayan Backstrap Loom with Sari Monroy Solís
DESCRIPTION:Learn to weave on a brocade-ready loom that you keep. This class will focus on introducing you to traditional Mayan backstrap loom technique. You will learn on a brocade-ready loom that you will take home. The class will begin by learning the history of the loom\, how your body connects to the loom\, the parts of the loom\, and how to do plain weaving. Once you are comfortable with plain weaving\, you will learn how to do single-sided brocade motifs. Through this process\, you will learn the names and origins of these motifs and understand how you can design your own patterns. \nThe backstrap loom is one of the oldest technologies in the world and still used to this day to make some of the longest-lasting clothing. Besides being a very portable loom\, it is of great cultural significance to the highlands of Guatemala\, Mesoamerica\, and the Andes. Mayan weavers\, to this day\, continue to make textiles with this loom. \n  \nDate and Time\nSaturday\, April 27th\, 2024 \n10:00AM – 4:00 PM PDT \n  \nLocation\nFibershed Learning Center \n14000 Point Reyes – Petaluma Road \nPoint Reyes Station\, CA 94956 \n  \nAbout The Instructor\nSari Monroy Solís is a fiber artist and Mayan backstrap loom weaver in Northern California. The backstrap loom called to Sari ever since she was a child and saw the loom her father migrated with from Guatemala. Sari first learned to weave from elders in her community in Guatemala. Working with the loom inspired her to research the loom deeply and to explore various techniques that exist for the backstrap loom\, including those from the highlands of Veracruz\, Mexico where mother’s family is from. You can follow her as she continues to play with fiber and document ancestral fiber arts on IG: @theblueweaver \n  \nHow to Register\nLearn more information and secure your spot by registering through this link.

In 2012 the importance of producing textiles on a local level was becoming a national movement. Missing in the local textile production in Northern California was linen. Sandy and other community members in Chico began to grow then harvest fiber flax for linen. In 2017 her husband Durl Van Alstyne joined the local linen movement when they acquired a small farm to expand their vision. The farm gave them the opportunity to grow fiber flax on a larger scale while practicing Regenerative Agriculture. Harvesting on a larger scale required a need to create small scale mechanical flax processing tools to accommodate their growth. Chico Flax was then created which is now a non profit called Golden State Linen to education and encourage flax to linen as a viable industry here in the north state. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Wild Basketry – Invasive Plant Cordage and Coiled Basketry\, with Julia Han
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to make cordage using invasive plants and create your own coiled basket\nThis workshop is part one of a two-day weekend series on invasive plant basketry. Register for both classes\, or for an individual class. \nDate\nSaturday\, June 28 \n10am – 4pm PDT \nAbout the Class\nSpend the day with instructor Julia Han at the Fibershed Learning Center learning to identify fiber plants commonly found in California\, and exploring how some of these can be foraged and transformed into beautiful and functional objects. \nWe’ll begin with a guided walk to explore a variety of native and non-native/invasive plants growing nearby\, discussing how to harvest them responsibly and prepare them for use. Back in the workshop\, you’ll learn tips on working with plant fibers and practice foundational basketry techniques including cordage-making and coiling. You’ll use these skills to create your own coiled basket using invasive plants. \nThis beginner-friendly workshop offers a hands-on introduction to natural fiber craft and working with foraged materials. Take this as a standalone workshop\, or pair it with Day 2 to deepen your skills. \nFull Weekend Description for Day 1 & 2:\nJoin us for a two-day\, hands-on experience of identifying\, foraging\, and transforming common invasive grasses and other plants into beautiful and functional objects using essential basketry techniques. After these beginner-friendly workshops\, you’ll leave with your own handmade works and the skills to continue working with foraged materials on your own. Along the way\, we’ll touch on the ecological role of invasive species and how we can make use of these abundant materials that are often overlooked. \nEach day will begin with a walk through the Fibershed property\, where we’ll observe and identify plants suitable for fiber and other uses. Along the way\, we’ll discuss ethnobotanical uses\, sustainable harvesting practices\, and what to look for in strong\, flexible materials. Back in the workshop space\, we’ll examine a variety of dried plant materials — grasses\, leafy fibers\, woody vines and branches\, barks\, and roots—and learn how each category behaves and what use it’s best suited for. \nOn Day 1 [link]\, we’ll get hands-on with invasive grasses and other foraged plants through the essential skill of cordage-making\, gaining an understanding of how different fibers behave when twisted together. We’ll then create a soft basket using the coiling technique\, where a material is wrapped and stitched around a central core\, incorporating your cordage into the design. \nOn Day 2 [link]\, we’ll build a basket using the more intricate twining technique\, using cordage as the foundational spokes and learning key tips for creating a strong structure. The workshop will feature a demo on making a small hand broom using bundled grasses or other foraged plant materials. \nSeparate registration is required for both days.\nMaximum 10 students. \nParticipants must bring:\n\nPruners or sharp scissors\, for cutting plant fibers\nTowel (one that can get messy)\nAny personal snacks\, lunch\, and beverages. Coffee and tea will be provided.\nA notebook and pen for note taking is encouraged.\n\nRegister Now
