SUMMARY:Cancelled: Aboubakar Fofana Textiles Trunk Show
DESCRIPTION:We deeply regret that this trunk show has been canceled. We will be following up soon with ways to support Aboubakar’s work.\nBorn in Mali and raised in France\, Aboubakar Fofana is a multidisciplinary artist and designer whose working mediums include calligraphy\, textiles and natural dyes. He is known for his work in reinvigorating and redefining West African indigo dyeing techniques\, and much of his focus is devoted to the preservation and reinterpretation of traditional West African textile and natural dyeing techniques and materials. \nFofana’s work stems from a profound spiritual belief that nature is divine and that through respecting this divinity we can understand the immense and sacred universe. His raw materials come from the natural world\, and his working practice revolves around the cycles of nature\, the themes of birth\, decay and change\, and the impermanence of these materials. He sees the conception and realization of this work as a form of spiritual practice which is shared with his audience. \nFofana is currently deeply involved in creating a farm in conjunction with the local community in the district of Siby\, Mali\, in which the two types of indigenous West African indigo will be the centerpiece for a permaculture model based around local food\, medicine and dye plants. This project hopes to contribute to the rebirth of fermented indigo dyeing in Mali and beyond\, and represents his life’s greatest project to date. \n“For me\, the blue of indigo is symbolic of many things\, many deeply spiritual connections within my homeland. But it is also deeply symbolic of what colonialism has done to my region and my people\, and to lands and societies elsewhere. I can talk about blue as a colour\, as a shade\, as an idea\, as a spiritual practice. I cannot ever separate my work from my spirituality\, and I equally cannot separate it from my political struggle for African liberation\, which is ever-present in all my work.” — Aboubakar Fofana\, from Beyond the Blueness on Tatter \nView a video from Botanical Colors’ Feedback Friday for a tour of Aboubakar’s Bamako studio\, where you will see him harvest indigo\, do some indigo dyeing\, introduce his artisans\, and see all the amazingness that is Aboubakar on his home turf. \nFollow Aboubakar on Instagram @aboubakarfofana \n \nPhoto credits: Top\, garment photos courtesy of Aboubakar Fofana\, additional photos by Francois Goudier and Suki Zoe. Above\, portrait of Aboubakar by Francois Goudier\, photo of textiles from Aboubakar’s studio by Anna Brones.

SUMMARY:2023 Fibershed Symposium: Relationships of Change
DESCRIPTION:2023 Wool & Fine Fiber Symposium\nRelationships of Change\n\n \n“Relationships of Change” will explore the interdependence of people\, policy\, and materials that are necessary for transforming our soil-to-skin system. Every choice we make when wearing\, caring and consuming elicits a direct environmental\, economic\, and human response. In this year’s Symposium you’ll hear from those working on critical issues of fossil fuel divestment from textiles and fashion\, garment workers’ rights\, and new laws aiming to internalize the costs of our textile ‘waste’ while catalyzing shifts in material choice and design.  We will also take stock of our regional fibershed economies– hearing from Fibershed Affiliates\, the Fibers Fund and efforts to bring climate benefitting farming and ranching incentives to the national scale.\n\n  \nThis will be a hybrid event\, and you may join us in person in Point Reyes or virtually.  A portion of our speakers will be presenting virtually as well as a few in person. In person attendees will enjoy the 4 hour event in a casual cafe atmosphere with a special coffee and tea service.\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Workshop: Vegetarian Sheepskin Seat Pad
DESCRIPTION:Create a “Vegetarian Sheepskin” Seat Pad\nSaturday\, December 9\, 2023 10:30-4:00 PT \nLearn how to use wet felting to create faux sheepskin pelts. In this class we will work on making seat pads but you will leave with the knowledge (and your pad and other materials) needed to create full size rugs\, scarves\, throws\, pet beds\, and anything else you might see a pelt used for. All materials will be provided\, including the wool\, so you can even say hi to the sheep you will be sitting on. \nAbility to stand at a table and do rolling pin type motions for an extended amount of time is necessary. This class will be outdoors so please dress accordingly and keep in mind that this process can be messy and wet. There will be time for a break so be sure to bring a lunch. \nTeacher: Siobhan Harlakenden is enthusiastic about all things wool. She is a delightful teacher and brings her interest in historical textile construction to her classes\, the latest of which was Medieval Distaff and Spindle Spinning at Lambtown 2023. \nWorkshop fee: $100\nMaterials fee: $66 \nThe materials fee includes all the wool you will need and the supplies that are used to create the faux sheepskin. You will be able to reuse some of those supplies for your next project at home. \nSign Up Here\nContact  \nRobin Lynde\nMeridian Jacobs\n707-688-3493\nEmail: robin@meridianjacobs.com OR meridianjacobs7811@gmail.com\nBlog: www.meridianjacobs.com/meridian-jacobs-blog AND\nhttps://meridianjacobs.wordpress.com \nLocation \n7811 N.

SUMMARY:Laneus Shawl\, Hat or Sweater - Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The ‘Roosimine’ technique is used in Teti Lutsak’s Laneus series of patterns and creates beautiful embroidery inlays on the surface of your knitting.  This technique is not applied\, but incorporated into the work as you go.  Choose one of the Laneus patterns (there is a hat\, shawl and pullover in the series) and make your own beautiful botanical knit.  We will learn the origins and how to execute the Roosimine  and review the patterns and potential yarn choices in the first session – and then check in in the second session to review and troubleshoot.  Some familiarity with colourwork is helpful – but not essential.  No homework – we will swatch in the first class! \nRegister Here\n  \nDATES/TIMES\n2 Saturdays; January 27 and February 17\, 2024 \n2:00 – 4:00PM \n  \nLEVEL\nIntermediate – Confident with casting on. the knit and purl stitch\, reading a pattern.
