SUMMARY:Natural Dyes with Heidi Iverson & Allison Reilly
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station\, CA\, where we will create a dynamic natural color story with 5-7 natural dyes from plants that are easily sourced/foraged from our local landscape. \nAlso included will be cochineal\, a historically significant dye extracted from an insect that lives on Opuntia cacti. Although cochineal is not generally found in our landscape (though it has reportedly been found in Oakland)\, it’s such a bright\, beautiful color that feels so much like summer\, the instructors wanted to include it. \nIn this class\, you will learn: \n\nHow to mordant both protein and cellulose fibers.\nHow to create color from leaves\, bark\, and flowers\nEthical harvesting and processing of different plants\nSeasonal plants and the colors they make\nHow to modify colors to create a wider color palette\nHow to dye with substantive\, tannin-rich plants that don’t require the use of mordants\n\nSpecial note: Some of the dye vats will already be made because they require more than one day to extract color. \nMaterials included: fabric swatches\, thread and yarn — both cellulose and protein fibers \nPlease bring: personal snacks\, lunch and beverages (a selection of teas will be served). Also bring containers to hold any wet fabric or fiber that isn’t dry by the end of the workshop. \nOptional: Bring your own fabric\, thread\, and/or yarn to dye. Fabric pieces should be no larger than 18″ x 18.” You may dye your fabric\, thread\, and/or yarn once everyone has dyed their class materials. You are welcome to bring containers to take home leftover dye\, if available. \nENROLL HERE: eventbrite.com/e/629751452547 \nSPECIAL DISCOUNT: When you enroll in this workshop\, you will receive a $40 discount code that can be applied to the cost of the workshop Mending Techniques with Heidi Iverson & Allison Reilly on July 16th. \n\nHeidi Iverson is the founder of Honey Folk\, her clothing design studio in western Sonoma County\, CA\, where she handcrafts clothing using high quality natural materials. Heidi also devotes time to knitting with local yarns and natural dyeing with plants and flowers that she hand gathers or cultivates. Honey Folk continues to evolve with Heidi\, and refining her aesthetic\, artistic process and philosophy is a continuous journey. She’s founding member of Fibershed\, and its philosophy has been an influence on her aesthetic and her brand ethic. Heidi is always looking to improve her work and offer thoughtful\, beautifully crafted items that will be cherished and worn for many years. \nRead about Heidi on the Fibershed blog: fibershed.org/2022/12/12/slowing-down-with-heidi-iverson-of-honey-folk-clothing \nWebsite: honeyfolkclothing.com \nInstagram: @honeyfolkclothing \n\nCANCELLATION POLICY: Refunds (minus Eventbrite fees) available up to 7 before the event. If you cancel within 7 days of the event\, we are unable to provide refunds unless we can fill your space from the waitlist. If someone who is waitlisted purchases your space\, we will refund your ticket\, minus the Eventbrite fees. Otherwise there will be no refunds. You are also welcome to transfer your ticket to someone who wishes to purchase it directly from you. \n\nTuition Scholarships & Transportation/Childcare Stipends\nFibershed is offering two scholarships to most workshops; one scholarship if it’s a small class.

Your clothing contributions must be clean and in good condition. Each contribution entities you to choose one item of comparable value. \nYou may depart up to an hour after the workshop ends\, to allow time to browse and try on items in the closet\, and make your trade! \n\nPhoto credits: Portrait of Heidi by Paige Green\, all other photos by Heidi Iverson.

SUMMARY:Invasive Natural Inks and Pigments of Northern CA
DESCRIPTION:Join Elissa Callen in exploring the use of California invasive plants as art materials for inks\, watercolor\, and environmental restoration. Throughout the course\, students will learn about native and invasive plants\, how to ethically harvest plants as color for dyes\, inks\, and pigment\, and how to process them into inks and watercolor. Students will also gain a better understanding of the importance of building a deeper relationship with the natural environment through learning about conservation and the ecological impact of their artistic practice. The class will primarily focus on using invasive plant species of Northern California\, but we will also explore the beautiful campus and nearby to see what we can sustainably use on site. \nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n Instructor Bio: Elissa Callen is an artist working with local plants and fungi to make natural pigments\, inks\, and dyes that she further uses as the staple materials in her art practice. She holds a degree in fine art\, has a professional background in horticulture\, and nearly ten years of experience researching and practicing sustainably using natural materials for color. She has taught through institutions including Point Reyes National Seashore\, Save the Bay\, and the Sonoma County Mycological Society.\n\n\n\n\n\nShe is passionate about California ecology and believes in using her work with natural materials as a means of increasing community interest in environmentalism\, preservation\, and connectedness to the native landscape. \nWebsite: http://elissacallen.com \nIG: @slateandrust
