SUMMARY:Natural Palettes of Summer Color in West Marin with Sasha Duerr
DESCRIPTION:Join Sasha Duerr onsite at the Fibershed Learning Center in Point Reyes Station for a day of exploring summer color and the natural palettes of seasonal color in Northern California. We will gather a variety of onsite ingredients\, then make and use natural dye baths with those ingredients and others. Together we will create a local summer dye palette from a curated selection of gathered ingredients\, including weeds and food and flora waste. Explore the nuances and beauty of color terroir\, and create an array of take-home\, naturally dyed textiles\, saturated in the seasonal tones of West Marin. \nStudents should bring their own lunch\, snacks\, and beverages (water bottle/travel mug). Lunch is not provided. There will also be time outdoors gathering plant materials\, so be sure to wear appropriate footwear and clothing. \nMaterials provided. Optional: students may bring a few small items to dye (must already be scoured and of natural fibers). \nTo enroll: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/310188089927 \nSasha Duerr is an artist\, designer and educator who works with plant-based color and natural palettes.

SUMMARY:Art and the Landscape: Colors of the NorCal Fibershed with Judi Pettite
DESCRIPTION:Exploring regional plants in season to make inks\, lake pigments and paints for your art practice \nJoin Judi Pettite onsite at the Fibershed Learning Center in Point Reyes Station to explore regional plants in season\, their efficacy as an art medium\, and choosing the right pigments for your practice. \nJudi will demonstrate how to use the plants and flowers collected during the class to make inks and lake pigments\, as well as the process of making watercolor paints with lake pigments. Everyone will have a chance to participate in the process and sample the colors. Anything that is left over students can take with them. \nThe emphasis will be on water-based hues with some discussion on the use of oil and wax. Judi will also share a gesso recipe for use on most substrates. \nEnroll here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/324488783687 \nA tour of the Fibershed garden will be followed by instruction in the Learning Center studio. \nBring a sketchbook\, pencil\, and apron. Some paper and brushes will be provided\, but feel free to bring your favorite paper or brushes with you. \nStudents should bring their own lunch\, snacks\, and beverages (water bottle/travel mug). Lunch is not provided. Since there will be time outdoors gathering plant materials\, be sure to wear appropriate footwear and clothing. \nJudi Pettite started the BioHue project in 2006 to create plant-based pigments for use in her art practice. The project moved her beyond the studio and into the outdoors she loves. Through her workshops and products\, Judi hopes to support and develop an interest in sustainable colors for artists. \n\nFibershed Scholarship Program\nFibershed is offering two scholarships to most workshops; one scholarship if it’s a small class. If you would not otherwise be able to attend\, and would like to be considered as a scholarship recipient\, please answer a few brief questions on this Google Form. Responses will be reviewed by Learning Center staff and kept strictly confidential.

SUMMARY:Fibershed-grown Indigo Vats with Judi Pettite
DESCRIPTION:Learn to make and use two types of indigo vats — fructose & iron \nJoin Judi Pettite onsite at the Fibershed Learning Center in Point Reyes Station for a day of indigo — from a tour of the Fibershed pigment garden\, to a demonstration of how to make a fructose vat and an iron vat (works well on cotton and can be used air temperature or cold)\, to the pleasure of dyeing your favorite fabrics and/or yarns in the class vats. We will be using the pigment extracted from Japanese indigo (Persicaria tinctoria)\, grown in the Fibershed pigment garden or in Judi’s dye garden in Southern California. \nBring your scoured protein or cellulose yarn or fabric to the workshop. After everyone has dyed an initial round of 8 ounces of yarn or fabric\, another 8 ounces can be dyed at the end of the day if the vats are still giving pigment. Also bring an apron\, notebook\, and camera if desired. \nStudents should bring their own lunch\, snacks\, and beverages (water bottle/travel mug). Lunch is not provided. Since there will be time outdoors in the garden\, be sure to wear appropriate footwear and clothing. \nEnroll here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/325448062917 \nJudi Pettite is an artist\, researcher and educator currently living in Southern California. In the field\, studio or on the road\, she is interested in what motivates people to work with natural pigments\, how they forage or cultivate these materials and how this creativity is expressed. Her artwork is intertwined with the exploration of natural mediums and is inspired by many art forms\, including painting\, drawing\, performance and installation. \nJudi started the BioHue project in 2006 to create plant-based pigments for use in her art practice. The project moved her beyond the studio and into the outdoors she loves. Through her workshops and products\, Judi hopes to support and develop an interest in sustainable colors for artists. \n\nFibershed Scholarship Program\nFibershed is offering two scholarships to most workshops; one scholarship if it’s a small class.
