SUMMARY:Indigo Extraction Process—from leaf to pigment with Judi Pettite
DESCRIPTION:A step-by-step participatory workshop for artists and small- to medium-scale indigo growers \nWondering how to convert the leaves of Japanese indigo (Persicaria tinctoria) into blue pigment? Join Judi Pettite onsite at the Fibershed Learning Center in Point Reyes Station for a day of indigo extraction — from a tour of the Fibershed pigment garden\, to a demonstration of harvesting the last indigo of the season\, then extracting the pigment from the leaves onsite using a passive fermentation process. Our focus will be on small batch extraction for home gardeners\, dyers and artisans. Dried indigo pigment can be stored for later use in a dye vat or for art mediums like paints\, inks and pastels. \nStudents should bring their own lunch\, snacks\, and beverages (water bottle/travel mug)\, as well as an apron\, notebook\, and camera. Since there will be time outdoors in the garden\, be sure to wear appropriate footwear and clothing. \nEnroll here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/329405750467 \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. 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. \n\nPhotos above of Judi Pettite in Fibershed’s pigment garden and indigo extraction in progress by Paige Green

SUMMARY:Weaving with locally-harvested Tule with Rimiko Berreman
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station\, to learn how to make rope and coasters or placemats with tule harvested on the ranch\, especially for this class. \nRimiko Berreman will be teaching classic weaving styles used by different cultures around the world\, through hands-on instruction and handouts for you to take home with your woven creations. \nTule (Schoenoplectus acutus) is a giant species of sedge\, native to freshwater marshes all over North America. Tules are used to make rope\, baskets\, bowls\, mats\, hats\, clothing\, duck decoys\, and even boats by Native people. \nEnroll here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/392773535217 \n\nFibershed Scholarship Program\nFibershed is offering two scholarships to most workshops; one scholarship if it’s a small class.

She was involved in local industry programs in her twenties and one of her early jobs was sewing products including Sashiko and Shibori at the Indigo studio in Tokushima. Those were great opportunities for her to learn these traditional skills. She continues creating things using multiple media.

SUMMARY:Visible Mending with Katrina Rodabaugh
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is a part of Fibershed’s 2022 Mending Challenge Series. (Haven’t signed up for our challenge? Signup here!)\nMending is a wonderful way to practice hand-stitching and simultaneously participate in Slow Fashion. Simple stitches transform torn or distressed garments\, homewares\, and textiles through thoughtful repairs. Visible mending is a hand-stitching technique that inspires beautiful contemporary repairs. Katrina will lead the group in a discussion of modern mending and darning applications in visible mending and slow fashion. The class will consider the creative opportunity in repair. All mending will focus on hand-stitching\, particularly woven fabrics. \nThis workshop will lead participants through an overview of basic stitches and repair techniques before turning to a garment that needs mending. Katrina will discuss how best to repair garments considering fabric\, thread\, color\, utility\, and more. Students will leave the workshop with various resources\, a mended garment (in-progress)\, and a printable PDF. Basic sewing and stitching skills are required. Please note: We will focus on woven fabrics like denim\, linen\, cotton\, silk\, hemp\, etc. We will not cover mending stretchy fabrics like leggings. We will discuss basic darning on knits like sweaters\, socks\, hats\, etc. Though most of the class will focus on mending woven fabrics like denim. \nWhen: Thursday\, September 29\, 10a PDT/ 1p ET \nLength: 2 hours \nWhere: Zoom \nCost: Sliding Scale\, suggested donation of $50-95 \nMax. Number of Participants: 20 \nRegister HERE! \nItems needed: \n\nGarment or textile to mend with patches of the same fiber and weight—midweight denim is best patched with a midweight denim patch\, light linen is best patched with light linen patches\, etc.\nScrap fabric for stitch sampler (At least 7” square in denim or midweight cotton). This is just a sampler\, it can be any fabric you already own\, midweight is best.\nThread – should\, ideally\, match the weight and fiber of the garment you are mending. Denim is best mended with cotton thread or embroidery floss—though I prefer 100% cotton Sashiko thread for mending midweight denim. Silk can be mended with silk thread and a silk patch; linen with linen patches and cotton or linen thread\, etc.\nNeedle\nFabric scissors\nFabric pencil\nRuler\nStraight pins\, safety pins\nOptional: Iron\, ironing board\, thimble\, pinking shears; if you want to practice basic darning also bring a knit garment\, yarn\, and a darning needle.\nOptional: You might consider purchasing one of my Mending Tool Kits particularly for mending denim. Also\, my books\, Mending Matters (2018)\, or Make Thrift Mend (2021)\, would be great companions to this online course.\n\nVisible Mending is an online course that will be taught live on Zoom. It will also be recorded to accommodate various time zones and the recording will be available to all registered students for 30days following the live class. The class will include a downloadable PDF that summarizes what we cover in class and supports you in creating a mended wardrobe. The class will be taught by Katrina Rodabaugh and joined by a teaching assistant to help navigate the digital classroom. Via email\, you will receive a link to the Zoom classroom. After the class\, you will receive a link to the class recording\, the class PDF\, and more. \nPlease note: There are NO REFUNDS for this class due to the digital nature. Thank you so much for understanding. \nRegister HERE! \n\n\n\nMore About Katrina Rodabaugh: \nKatrina Rodabaugh is an artist and author working across disciplines to explore environmental and social issues through craft techniques.
