SUMMARY:Rug Hooking Workshop at High Desert Fibershed Learning Center
DESCRIPTION:Warner Mountain Weavers has opened up their High Desert Fibershed Learning Center in the Surprise Valley\, Cedarville\, California! Warner Mountain Weavers has been is business since 2000 and has a 2 story building with a classroom upstairs and downstairs to accommodate students. We also have a large outside dye area with picnic tables\, burners and antique ringer washing machines. We have a mature dye garden which is quite extensive. They are open for in-person classes throughout 2022.  \nRug Hooking on a copper bowl and a Santa Fe style mat:\nOctober 14 Friday\, 10:00-3:00 & October 15 Saturday\, 10:00-2:00 \nRegistration fee: $150 \nThis is a great class for a beginner or anyone looking for a refresher. In Bev Hills’ 2-day workshop you will learn all the basics of rug hooking…..starting\, persistence and finishing! There is only one stitch in rug hooking – the loop. The design emerges as you change colors. The yarns for both projects are from the stash – waste not\, want not! So the colors will vary\, and you will have color choices. \nFirst you will create an heirloom art piece by hooking fun yarns into woven copper mesh. Bev will provide a hand-shaped copper mesh bowl\, a metal crochet hook\, and the yarns needed for this quick project. The copper mesh is from TMP in Berkeley. \nThen you will start your mat. Beginners will first hook some straight lines\, then some wavy lines. Rug hooking is kind of like how you colored in grade school; outline each element then fill it in. The yarns and a hand-drawn pattern on a linen foundation – attached to a Velcro frame for quick\, tight adjustment\, are included in the registration fee. Assorted rug hooks will be available for you to use or buy\, ranging in price from $10-$48. The brass rug hooks are made in Ireland and the linen foundation is woven in Scotland. \nBring scissors and reading glasses if you need them. You are welcome to bring your own rug hooking lap frame or rug hooks. Bring any snacks or beverages you may want during the workshop. We will take casual\, short breaks. \nSince 2009 Bev has taught and demonstrated rug hooking at fairs\, festivals\, fiber events and a living history museum. Bev’s hooked rugs are currently for sale at Warner Mountain Weavers. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Weave a Tule Mat with Charlie Kennard
DESCRIPTION:Learn to make a mat from locally-harvested tule \nJoin us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station\, CA\, where we will make small sitting mats using tule rushes twined together with dyed cotton string. (The type of tule mat we will be making can be seen to the right of Charlie in the photo collage above. To the right of that is a greenish mat made of cattail\, and two other types of tule mat.) \nThe tule we are working with (Schoenoplectus californicus) was gathered from a pond on the ranch where we are located. Tule mats were an essential part of native Californian life\, used for roofing\, screens\, doorways\, beds\, in serving foods\, as well as for sitting on. \nThe class is limited to 10 students. Weather permitting\, we will be sitting outdoors in a shaded area. In the event of rain\, we will be in the studio/classroom\, which has plenty of ventilation. Address provided upon registration. \nParticipants should bring: a pair of scissors\, a cushion for sitting on the ground\, plus any personal snacks or lunch and beverages. If you are unable to sit on a cushion on the ground\, you can work at a table while standing or sitting on a stool. \nEnroll here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/396884872337 \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\nCharlie Kennard of San Anselmo is a long-time basket weaver and student of California Indian and other traditional basketry techniques of the world. He has taught for the Point Reyes Field Institute\, East Bay Regional Parks Botanic Garden\, Fibershed\, the Laguna Center and in many schools and at teacher trainings. Tule boats made in his workshops can be seen at the Bay Model in Sausalito\, Lake County Museum\, and another is in the collection of the Oakland Museum. You can also visit a basketry plant garden Charlie has created at the Marin Art and Garden Center in Ross. Charlie is active in native habitat restoration in Marin\, managing several projects for Friends of Corte Madera Creek Watershed. \n(Photos at top\, left to right: freshly harvested tule by Dustin Kahn\, Charlie Kennard by Paige Green\, mats of tule and cattail courtesy of Charlie Kennard)

SUMMARY:Visible Mending on Knitwear and Denim with Arounna Khounnoraj
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is a part of Fibershed’s 2022 Mending Challenge Series. (Haven’t signed up for our challenge? Signup here!)\nIn this workshop you will explore Visible Mending with Arounna Khounnoraj of Bookhou. We all have that favorite pair of jeans or a well-loved sweater — no matter how baggy or worn they might become. In the movement against throw-away culture and fast fashion\, learn how to pick up a needle and rediscover the forgotten techniques and the joy of mending. We will cover the technique of weave mending and duplicate stitch\, which is also known as swiss darning. The workshop will also cover patching a garment from the front and back. No previous experience is required. \nWhen: Saturday\, October 15\, 11a PDT/ 2p ET \nLength: 2 hours \nWhere: Zoom \nCost: Sliding Scale\, recommended offering of $45-95 \nMax. Number of Participants: 50-75 \nREGISTER HERE! \nThis class\, and the activity of mending in general\, encourages us to use what we have around the house and in our stashes already. With that in mind\, here is a list of useful items that would be good to have on hand to follow Arounna’s demonstrations and try some mending techniques during the class. \nItems needed: \n– A darning needle suitable to the size of yarn or thread you are using \n– A sharp needle about 2 inches long for doing sashiko stitch \n– Mending yarn (should be no bigger than worsted weight. Using leftovers and remnants is strongly encouraged! DMC tapestry wool is also a good option\, as it is sold in small skeins in a variety of colors) \n– Sashiko thread (in either indigo or white\, or embroidery cotton floss will work fine too) \n– Scissors and a surface to mend on like a darning mushroom but items found in your home such as a light bulb\, tennis ball\, or wood ladle would work \n– Scrap fabric for patches \n– Items to mend (like a sweater\, cotton shirt\, denim/cotton pants) \nMore About Arounna Khounnoraj:\nArounna Khounnoraj is a Canadian artist and maker working in Toronto where she immigrated with her family from Laos at the age of four. While her education includes a master’s degree in fine arts in sculpture and ceramics\, it was through subsequent residencies that she found her current focus in fibre arts. In 2002 she started bookhou\, a multi-disciplinary studio with her husband John Booth\, where Arounna explores screen printing and a variety of textile techniques such as embroidery and punch needle. She creates objects such as bags\, home goods and textile art. In 2020 she released her second book on Visible Mending and in June 2022 she will be releasing her third book on Embroidery. \nREGISTER HERE!
