SUMMARY:Community Indigo Vat
DESCRIPTION:Come immerse yourself in the sea of Sonoma County Blue! Fibershed member\, Craig Wilkinson\, has provided our community with it’s first locally grown\, Japanese indigo vat. This is a unique indigo recipe as the color comes from composted indigo (sukumo) as opposed to an extract or pigment. During the 90 minutes one-one-one access to our special\, composted indigo vat\, you’ll get a chance to achieve different shades of blue through multiple dips on fabric\, yarn or fiber. Some shibori supplies are available if you want to play with resist techniques\, though we recommend you prepare your fabric ahead of time. \n  \nPlease note\, this is self-serve with minimal instruction. There will be a brief 15-minute introduction to the history of the vat\, how to properly use it and rinse your fabric. This is NOT a class. \n  \nPlease weigh your items (dry) ahead of time to ensure it falls within the weight category (see below). If you have more than the allotted amount\, you may sign up for 2 sessions. Maximum weight is double to allow the use of the vat for other users. Instructions for properly preparing your items for a successful dye experience will be e-mailed the week prior to your session. Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little blue and bring a plastic bag to bring home your wet items. The studio has aprons\, gloves\, tongs and a small supply of resist tools on hand. \n  \nNitty Gritty Details: Access to the vat is based on Registration. \nNo walk-ins. \nTo ensure that each person has access to a lively\, fully colored vat\, there is a weight limitation (dry weight) per person: \nYarn/Fiber: 250 grams \nFabric: 500 grams \n  \nIt is highly recommended to pre-soak wool overnight. If you will be bringing wool to dye\, please weigh before you pre-soak. \n  \nOnly 1 person per session. Call for questions! 707-242-3400

SUMMARY:Visible Mending
DESCRIPTION:Mending is a wonderful way to transform your favorite torn or distressed garments\, homewares\, and other textiles. In this workshop you will explore visible mending with cotton thread and patching\, developing your own stitch patterns. Essentially you will be fusing fabrics together with stitch\, so they become a new cloth. You will practice boro\, sashiko\, darning\, & quilting techniques on a sampler first then moving onto the item you brought to repair. Each student will receive an individual consultation on how best to mend one garment considering fabric\, fiber\, thread\, color\, lines\, techniques\, and more. Students will leave the workshop with a stitching sampler\, mended garment (in-progress)\, various resources. Basic sewing and stitching skills are required. \n  \nIf you don’t have a garment to mend but want to explore visible mending to create an abstract art piece you are welcome. I often make practice samplers to explore different shapes and color stories that then get turned into pillows or wall hangings. \nPlease bring your own woven fabric garment or textile for mending. Cotton\, linens\, & lighter weight denims are good starter fabrics\, silk is fine too. Patching fabric should match the weight and fiber of the garment being mended. Don’t worry if you don’t have fabric\, there will fabric available in class too. If fixing a pair of jeans with stretch using t-shirt fabric works well or other denim with stretch. Garments should be clean and ironed or mostly wrinkle free. \n  \nMaterials Requirements: Please bring a mending project\, 1-3 skeins if using different colors(half skeins are fine) of embroidery\, sashiko\, or pearl cotton thread & an embroidery hoop that is a suitable size to fit the project. Sashiko needles will be provided during class but if you have Sashiko or embroidery needles please bring them. Judith & Lily’s shop has needles and threads available for purchase if you need to purchase materials. \n  \nMaterials provided: Fabric for the sampler\, scissors\, chalk pencils\, rulers\, fabric glue sticks\, a lot of embroidery & pearl cotton for trying out and playing with\, extra fabric for patches. Using cloth that has already softened and settled through wear and washing\, for instance\, pillowcases\, tea towels\, well-worn shirts\, as well as some fresh new shirting fabrics make great patches. \n  \nSashiko needles will be provided during class & available for purchase. There will be some embroidery hoops available for use during class only. \n  \n$75.00\n\nInstructor: Heidi Iverson\nThursday\, March 19th\n1:00 – 4:00 pm

SUMMARY:Regnerative Economies: What are they\, and can fashion play a role in building them?
DESCRIPTION:A few years ago\, environment conversations started to introduce regeneration as a concept. This meant moving the focus from sustainability\, which has traditionally focused on minimising negative impacts\, to actively repairing the damage that has been done to the planet and restoring critical ecosystems. \n  \nAt Trace Collective that is the focus of our work and where our heart sits: on exploring how\, through fashion\, we can create a market economy that drives demand for nature-based solutions to climate change. In this session we’ll talk to some of the leading experts on nature-based solutions to climate change and get to know incredibly inspiring projects from across the world. We’ll then work together to figure out how we can plug into these economies through our day to day purchases and decisions. \n  \nExpect a workshop packed with info\, important conversations that involve you\, and hands-on breakout groups\, and expect leaving inspired and full of hope. \n  \n\nThe workshop features Rebecca Burgess\, ED of Fibershed and Elizabeth Whitlow. \n  \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Natural Dye Virtual Demo + Navajo Nation Mask Drive
DESCRIPTION:Learn how plants in your garden and pantry can provide color for your cloth mask\, and help us send a bulk donation of California Cloth Foundry masks to the Navajo Nation Chinle Chapter. \nFibershed is sponsoring a virtual demonstration of natural dyeing a cotton mask with plants that are also known for their medicinal properties. Natural dyer\, teacher\, and ethnobotanist Deepa Natarajan will lead this 1-hour overview focusing on the process of dyeing a California Cloth Foundry organic cotton mask. She will introduce participants to a wide range of plants that are common to our kitchen and gardens and which can provide a colorful hue and rewarding creative process that is applicable to light-colored cotton fabrics. The virtual demonstration will include live\, moderated Q&A\, and will be recorded so that anyone who registers can access the video replay. \n  \nOur goal is to collectively provide 1000 masks to the Navajo Nation to support public health in a region with one of the highest rates of Coronavirus infection. Thanks to California Cloth Foundry’s cloth mask production using Organic US cotton and California-grown Cleaner Cotton\, and ethical manufacturing in Los Angeles\, we can come together to send a shipment of masks by May 15th. \n  \nFibershed and California Cloth Foundry have joined together to organize the logistics of this mask drive effort\, thanks to outreach by Mai Nguyen of Farmer Mai and the National Young Farmers Coalition\, and Marie Hoff of Full Circle Wool.  \nMai and Marie inspired this donation effort after hearing from colleagues at the First Nations Development Institute that the Navajo Nation is seeking contributions in response to the high per-capita rate of Covid-19. To donate directly to the Official Navajo Nation Covid-19 Relief Fund\, visit: https://www.nndoh.org/donate.html \nCalifornia Cloth Foundry has provided mask donations to impacted communities through the “Buy One Gift One” program beginning in late March. California Cloth Foundry is a member of the Northern California Fibershed Producer Program and creator of a soil-to-skin\, US grown and made supply chain. As the Los Angeles area began shutting down to reduce the spread of the novel Coronavirus\, California Cloth Foundry engaged and transformed their existing supply network to produce masks “to serve our community and maximize our social\, economical and environmental impact — with our regenerative cloth masks made from compostable plant based ingredients without harmful chemicals” said founder Lydia Wendt. Hearing of this effort\, Solminer Wine Co.\, an Organic and Biodynamic wine producer in the Santa Ynez Valley of California\, reached out to support a bulk donation of California Cloth Foundry masks.  \nJoining together with California Cloth Foundry and Solminer Wine Co.\, Fibershed is sponsoring a virtual demonstration of natural dyeing to generate funds for additional masks\, while providing a creative educational opportunity as part of our ongoing series of virtual demonstrations by Fibershed artisan members.  \nDeepa Natarajan is a member of the Northern California Fibershed community\, co-authored 10 Plants for Color: A Simple Guide to Growing and Using Natural Dye Plants with Helen Krayenhoff\, produced Verdant Color: The Bay Area Natural Dye Journal\, and organizes the annual Fiber & Dye Exhibit at UC Berkeley Botanic Garden. In Deepa’s words: “I believe that gardens can be a source of all things we need\, from foods to medicines\, garments to shelters\, beauty\, and inspiration.” \nNatural dyeing is a time-honored tradition throughout the world; in what is now known as the United States\, the first naturally dyed wools emerged when the Navajo and Hopi tribes began to work with the sheep imported by the Spanish more than four hundred years ago. We honor and acknowledge the expertise and legacy of the Navajo Nation in natural dyeing\, and invite you to learn more about their cultural practices here: Nizhoni Ranch News: The History of Creating Vegetal Rug Dyes; Navajo Times: Weaver Earns Best of Show for Dye Chart. \nFor further creative engagement\, we encourage you to follow and support the work of contemporary Diné / Navajo fiber artists\, including: Darci Rose\, Naiomi Glasses\, and Jennifer Berg. In Harvesting Color: How to Find Plants and Make Natural Dyes\, Fibershed founder and author Rebecca Burgess celebrates the Navajo dye tradition and writes about the dye work of Navaho Dyer Rose Ann Dedman\, as she experienced it through a class with Weaving in Beauty.  \nWe hope you will join us in this opportunity to learn together and support a community in need. \n  \nThere are two ways to join this virtual demonstration: \n\nRegister directly via Zoom if you want to join and learn from this class and you do not need a new mask for yourself. Your registration fee will allow us to donate 2 masks to the Navajo Nation. (You will not receive a mask).\nPurchase a mask directly from California Cloth Foundry by May 15th and you will receive a cotton mask that you can dye. One mask will also be donated directly to the Navajo Nation\, and when you enter code “Fibershed” at check-out\, you will be added to the registration list for the virtual demonstration.

DESCRIPTION:Rust Belt Fibershed Virtual Meet-Up on May 21 at 7 PM! \nJoin us for our first virtual Mending Show and Tell !\nHave you worked to repair a textile/garment and would like to share the story of that cloth? Maybe it’s an old moth-eaten sweater\, or an old pair of jeans\, or your grandma’s quilt? Or maybe it’s even a hole in a tote bag? Any repair counts! \nWe’d love to hear about your experience (maybe it was your first mend? Maybe your 1000th!)\, your technique\, your process\, or even just the story behind the garment would be a treasure for us to hear! How/Why did you choose to repair that particular textile?\nProjects do not have to be complete- this could be a work in progress! Your repair doesn’t have to look any particular way or even use any particular technique if you’re a newbie! Bring whatever you’d like to share.\nAlso\, you don’t need a flashy story- just showing us what you’re working on is great\, too! \nNot a mender? Still join us! We’ll be talking Fibershed updates and initiatives\, and we’ll be brainstorming about engagement for summer months. \nThis is a chance for us to participate in some much-needed community building\, and we hope you’ll join us!
