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
