Turn two days (March 21 & 22; 9am-5pm) at Fibershed’s Learning Center into your own pack basket and learn one of the oldest crafts in human history!
Visit Fibershed’s Eventbrite listing to register!
For thousands of years baskets served as indispensable objects in every culture. Carry on the tradition and take home a beautiful, durable and functional basket crafted from responsibly harvested, hand-pounded black ash logs. In this workshop by Penny Hewitt at the Fibershed Learning Center in West Marin, students will craft a traditional Adirondack-style packbasket with cedar runners, white ash handle and adjustable webbing straps. Great for harvesting, canoeing, farmer’s markets, picnic lunches and whatever else you would use a regular backpack for. This basket is made to last and be used.
All materials are provided to create your pack basket. The class also includes discussion on how the materials are harvested and processed.
Participants should bring personal snacks, lunch, and beverages. Coffee and tea will be provided.
No experience is necessary but the project does take good hand strength.
About Penny:
Penny is passionate about revitalizing and sharing traditional skills, particularly in the form of black ash and bark basketry. She believes learning utilitarian skills can point to alternative ways of shaping a culture that fosters land, tradition, and community stewardship. She enjoys teaching people how to use their hands and simple tools to transform natural materials from the surrounding forests into objects of beauty that are useful in everyday life. Penny is inspired by traditions of many cultures, and is grateful for the opportunities of connection to the land and people, past and present, that this craft cultivates. Her experience includes teaching workshops to all ages, as well as crafting for income, pleasure and to meet the needs of her homesteading life.

Sheep Harvesting Workshop with John O'Mara
2026-03-13 08:00 - 2026-03-15 17:00 | Oak Granary, Potter Valley, California
This event is sponsored by a Fibershed Northern California Producer or a Fibershed Affiliate. Please search for host details within the listing for more event details.

To register visit fullcirclewool.com

This is a workshop dedicated to learning how to humanely harvest sheep and make use of the whole animal. We will demonstrate how to ethically harvest and process sheep only using a knife. We will explore the many uses of organ meats, intestines for sausage-making, blood, and bones in an attempt to imbue the participants with these skills to return to their lives as part of their skillsets. We will collaboratively honor the death of the sheep and explore the many facets of our lives that are fed by our ancient relationship to sheep. We will eat our way through the process and learn how to break down the carcasses using seam butchery which only requires a small knife.

This class is intended for people wanting to harvest their own animals, process roadkill, and become more familiar with how ruminants are put together, and how our relationship to them has and continues to evolve over time. Participants will be able to take meat home, gamble with astragalus bones, and have the knowledge and know-how to replicate the process.

*Benefits means you will get to take meat home with you, come prepared with a cooler. Meat will be split up amongst those who opt in. Proceeds go to support shepherds in the village of Umm al-Khair, in the West Bank of Palestine through the Center for Jewish Non-Violence (see cjnv.org for more info).

Fibershed at the Downtown Berkeley Farmers’ Market
2025-12-20 10:00 - 14:30 | Downtown Berkeley Farmer’s Market, Center Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Berkeley, CA, 94702, United States
About the Event

This December, the Berkeley Farmers’ Markets are getting into the holiday spirit with a special winter event. On December 13, 16, 18, and 20, the markets will bring fresh local food and incredible California grown and produced gifts made by our partners at Fibershed, a nonprofit that’s reshaping how textiles are grown, processed, designed, sewn, and worn.
Shop food for your holiday table and gifts for loved ones in the same visit. Start with fresh produce, seasonal fruits and vegetables, breads, cheeses, meats, and sweet treats. Then explore our Fibershed pop up vendors featuring clothing, body care products, yarn, and more, making for unique gifts that support California agriculture in a whole new way.
Every purchase helps Bay Area farmers and local artisans thrive while keeping holiday spending close to home. Celebrate with us and enjoy food, gifts, and community in one joyful marketplace.
