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.

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. It helps to have experience working with two colors in the form of stripes\, but is not required. \n\nMATERIALS (not included)\nThere are so many wonderful options for this pattern! The patterns will work best with sport to light DK gauge weight yarns. Feel free to play! We’ll be swatching in class to make sure your yarn choices work well together. \nPattern Options: \nHAT \n\nUS 3 (3.25 mm) 16″ circular and DPN needles\n2 contrasting colors of sport or light DK weight yarn (or two held together as equivalent) – see sizing for yardage quantities of each color\nstitch markers\n\nSHAWL \n\nUS 7 (4.5 mm) circular and DPN needles\n2 contrasting colors of sport or light DK weight yarn (or two held together as equivalent) – see sizing for yardage quantities of each color\nstitch markers\n\nPULLOVER \n\nUS 4 (4.5 mm) circular and DPN needles\n2 contrasting colors of worsted weight yarn (or two held together as equivalent) – see sizing for yardage quantities of each color\nstitch markers\n\nHOMEWORK \n\nChoose and purchase pattern from the list above.\nVisit Fiber Circle Studio for purchasing yarn OR contact us if you already have a yarn you want to use to see if it’ll work for your chosen pattern.\n\nPlease note that this is not a class on how to knit sweaters\, so if you choose the pullover option\, it is recommended that you have previous sweater knitting experience\, plan to have additional support\, or are happy “just going for it”!  \nAges: 18+\nSkill Requirements: Confident with casting on. the knit and purl stitch\, reading a pattern.

SUMMARY:Spinner's Day on the Farm at Wyammy Ranch
DESCRIPTION:Dear handspinners\, knitters\, fiber producers and vendors\, \nWe invite you to participate in Spinners’ Day on the Farm.  This event is intended to promote\, showcase\, and sell fiber\, fiber arts\, and related crafts\, produced by farmers in Sonoma County and other vendors. \nWyammy Ranch is a picturesque 60+ year old ranch specializing in Romney and Wensleydale sheep\, perched on a hilltop  in the coastal hills near Occidental\, just 7 miles west of Sebastopol. \nCome relax\, spin\, visit with old and new friends\, and find that perfect fiber to create your next work of art.    \nThis year we will not be doing a pot-luck lunch.  Please bring your own food. \nWe will also require that all attendees be vaccinated for Covid\, with one booster\,  for the safety and peace of mind of all. \nThis is an entirely outdoor event. You will be parking in my riding arena\, with overflow parking in a pasture. Our gathering area is my large\, tree-shaded front yard. \nDirections:  Occidental can be reached from Sebastopol on Bodega Hwy\, to Bohemian Hwy in Freestone\, to town\,  Or by taking Occidental Road all the way from Santa Rosa\, or by Graton Rd  from the town of Graton. \nOn entering Occidental\, take Bittner Rd from the South-West corner of town.  Go 1 mile. \nAt the big green “ Wyammy Ranch 15600 “ sign\, turn right and go to the top  of the hill.  Just after the road turns to gravel\, the riding arena and parking will be on the right.  We will  ferry your equipment up to the meeting place.  The road up to the ranch is one lane.  Please plan to arrive between 10-11 so as not to meet traffic coming down. \nVendors will come between 8:00-9:30 and will park by the barn\, near their spaces. \nHandicapped parking will need to be pre-arranged. \nPlease leave your dogs at home. My sheep\, Guardian dog and Border collies thank you. \nIf you want to vend\, please call ahead to reserve a space: 707 874-3374
