SUMMARY:Plant\, Dye\, Sew!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 4 Day Workshop on how to set up and plant a full dye garden. \nDate\nJune 2nd-June 5th\, 2025 \n10 AM – 4 PM \nLocation\n459 South Main Street \nCedarville\,California \nAbout the Event\nIn this fun filled\, comprehensive class\, we will learn how to set up and plant a full dye garden. We will cover various plants and their properties\, learn about their particular growing needs\, and then get dirty learning how to create raised beds by actually creating them. \nWe will prepare cellulose fabric for natural dyes\, create several dye pots as well as an iron indigo vat. Additionally\, you will learn how to make an iron mordant paste to create prints on fabric. We will also be making a patchwork project with naturally dyed and printed fabrics using both machine and hand stitching. \nWe will be working with tannins\, natural dyes\, modifiers\, an iron indigo vat\, and iron mordant pastes to create a wide range of colors and prints on cotton and linen fabric. You will have the opportunity to machine sew a patchwork project using naturally dyed fabrics. If you wish to explore boro type stitching and visible mending techniques to further personalize your bag\, we invite you to bring embroidery thread and needles to fit your thread. (Milliner size 5 needles\, and 8 perle cotton or sashiko thread work well). If you have favourites\, we also suggest bringing your own fabric scissors. We will have a limited number at the shop\, but we all know our own are better. \nThis workshop is designed for both the beginner as well as experienced dyer. No prior sewing experience necessary. \nTo bring: \n\nClothing/apron/towel that can get wet and dirty! We will be working in the dirt\, and with large vats of water. This is not the time to be fashion forward.\nGardening AND rubber gloves. You will need each daily.\nSunhat AND sunscreen. We are at 4300′ elevation and the sun here is strong.\nAny small gardening tools/gear you prefer using (spades/forks/knee pads).\nYour own fabric scissors\, preferred needles\, special threads…\nReusable water bottle. Any bottle is fine\, but we have zero recycling in Surprise Valley\, so we prefer you do not bring disposable plastic.\nLunch/snacks. We have a full kitchen to store and heat up food.\nNotebook and pen/pencil for note taking.\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:WAX / THREADS / ROOTS - Batik\, with Babaran Segaragunung Culture House
DESCRIPTION:Learn the traditional wax-resist craft of authentic Indonesian batik over a one- or two-day workshop\, led by special guest instructors \nDate\nJune 21 – June 22 (one-day or two-day) \n10am – 4pm PDT \nLocation\nFibershed Learning Center \n14000 Point Reyes \nPetaluma Road Point Reyes Station\, CA 94956 \nAbout the Class\nJoin internationally recognized batik artists of Brahma Tirta Sari at the Fibershed Learning Center for a rare two-day workshop exploring the wax resist technique of batik. \nParticipants will explore how batik is not only a technique\, but an intangible creative process rooted in ancestral knowledge. This program is presented by Babaran Segaragunung Culture House\, a cultural organization based in Indonesia\, dedicated to nurturing creative growth through traditional wisdom and artistic practice. \nIn this immersive workshop\, participants will engage with the philosophies\, methods\, and technical practices of batik as it has been taught in residencies across Indonesia\, Australia\, Africa\, and North America. \nWhile batik serves as the medium\, this experience invites attendees of all disciplines\, including artists\, educators\, designers\, students\, cultural practitioners\, and anyone curious about traditional knowledge\, creative process\, or ecological and cultural sustainability. Reconnect with inner sensibility\, creative embodiment\, and ecological awareness through the culturally rooted process of Batik. \nThis is a condensed version of Babaran Segaragunung’s long-standing residency program\, offered in a flexible format. For an in-depth learning experience\, register for both days. Attendees are also welcome to join for just the first day. \nNo batik experience is necessary. \nWorkshop Schedule \nDay One: Introduction to Batik and Technique \nLearn the foundations of batik using wax-resist dyeing with natural dyes\, exploring traditional motifs and design elements. This day introduces participants to the material\, tools\, and basic philosophy that guide this artistic tradition. \nDay Two: Intangible Knowledge and Creative Process \nDive deeper into the cultural and philosophical underpinnings of batik. Experience creative practices that involve movement\, inner reflection\, and symbolic design—drawing from the ancient Javanese worldview of Tribawana (the three realms of self\, nature\, and source of creativity). \nParticipants must bring: \n\nWear clothing that can get stained\nLap cloth (drips and spills)\nAny personal snacks\, lunch\, and beverages. Coffee and tea will be provided.\nA notebook and pen for note taking is encouraged.\nDrawing book and pencils (3B) in case you want to start to draw or prepare your personal symbol design.\nAll other materials will be provided.\n\nMaximum 16 students. \nSign up here

SUMMARY:Wild Basketry – Invasive Plant Cordage and Coiled Basketry\, with Julia Han
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to make cordage using invasive plants and create your own coiled basket\nThis workshop is part one of a two-day weekend series on invasive plant basketry. Register for both classes\, or for an individual class. \nDate\nSaturday\, June 28 \n10am – 4pm PDT \nAbout the Class\nSpend the day with instructor Julia Han at the Fibershed Learning Center learning to identify fiber plants commonly found in California\, and exploring how some of these can be foraged and transformed into beautiful and functional objects. \nWe’ll begin with a guided walk to explore a variety of native and non-native/invasive plants growing nearby\, discussing how to harvest them responsibly and prepare them for use. Back in the workshop\, you’ll learn tips on working with plant fibers and practice foundational basketry techniques including cordage-making and coiling. You’ll use these skills to create your own coiled basket using invasive plants. \nThis beginner-friendly workshop offers a hands-on introduction to natural fiber craft and working with foraged materials. Take this as a standalone workshop\, or pair it with Day 2 to deepen your skills. \nFull Weekend Description for Day 1 & 2:\nJoin us for a two-day\, hands-on experience of identifying\, foraging\, and transforming common invasive grasses and other plants into beautiful and functional objects using essential basketry techniques. After these beginner-friendly workshops\, you’ll leave with your own handmade works and the skills to continue working with foraged materials on your own. Along the way\, we’ll touch on the ecological role of invasive species and how we can make use of these abundant materials that are often overlooked. \nEach day will begin with a walk through the Fibershed property\, where we’ll observe and identify plants suitable for fiber and other uses. Along the way\, we’ll discuss ethnobotanical uses\, sustainable harvesting practices\, and what to look for in strong\, flexible materials. Back in the workshop space\, we’ll examine a variety of dried plant materials — grasses\, leafy fibers\, woody vines and branches\, barks\, and roots—and learn how each category behaves and what use it’s best suited for. \nOn Day 1 [link]\, we’ll get hands-on with invasive grasses and other foraged plants through the essential skill of cordage-making\, gaining an understanding of how different fibers behave when twisted together. We’ll then create a soft basket using the coiling technique\, where a material is wrapped and stitched around a central core\, incorporating your cordage into the design. \nOn Day 2 [link]\, we’ll build a basket using the more intricate twining technique\, using cordage as the foundational spokes and learning key tips for creating a strong structure. The workshop will feature a demo on making a small hand broom using bundled grasses or other foraged plant materials. \nSeparate registration is required for both days.\nMaximum 10 students. \nParticipants must bring:\n\nPruners or sharp scissors\, for cutting plant fibers\nTowel (one that can get messy)\nAny personal snacks\, lunch\, and beverages. Coffee and tea will be provided.\nA notebook and pen for note taking is encouraged.\n\nRegister Now
