SUMMARY:In-Person Mud-Dye Workshop with Virtual Instruction from Aboubakar Fofana
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station for a three-day workshop on Fermented Mineral Mud-Dyeing taught by textile artist Aboubakar Fofana. The virtual instruction runs from 9:00am to 12:00pm each day. Students are invited to stay until 4:00pm to continue working on their pieces. \nThe workshop will focus on traditional Malian mud as the medium and your own creativity as the path to working with this amazing substance. Malian mineral mud dyeing\, or bogolan\, is a deeply cultural and spiritual art practice to create textiles imbued with status\, symbolism\, protection and hidden meaning. The textile is a uniquely West African tradition\, associated with Mali and the Bamana culture. We are fortunate to experience bogolan and mineral mud dyeing with Aboubakar. This is the only workshop to use authentic African materials including fermented mud dye\, indigenous cotton and tannin sources. \nWe will provide traditional tannin-dyed strip fabric for embellishment and fermented mud to create your designs. Each participant will work on small samples and then complete a larger project during the 3-day class. \nThe class will practice on traditional Malian strip cloth (finimugu) and cotton fabric\, using special fermented mud paste that Aboubakar gathered. \nThe workshop includes: \n\n\n\nThree days intensive study on mineral mud-dyeing (in-person) with Aboubakar on Zoom\nAll sampling materials and mud and dyes from Mali including finimugu handwoven cotton fabric and fermented mud paste\, tannin\, and paintbrush.\nAboubakar will present videos and stories of his mud-gathering feats\nPresent at Fibershed will be Sari Monroy who was in Aboubakar’s 2022 Mud-Dyeing class to support the students\n\n\n\nOptional: Participants may bring 1/2 yard of any cotton\, linen\, or hemp fabric for additional projects \nPlease bring: personal snacks\, lunch\, and beverages (a selection of teas will be provided). \n\nIf you are unable to attend in person at Fibershed Learning Center\, Botanical Colors is offering an online-only version of the workshop\, with all workshop materials shipped to you. \nBotanical Colors has also set up a donation page to support Aboubakar’s indigo farm project in Mali. If you’re not able to take his class\, please consider a donation. \n\nThe backstory: Many of us were excited to welcome Aboubakar to the US this summer for a series of in-person workshops from SF Bay Area to Brooklyn with a magical month in Santa Fe to conclude his visit. Sadly\, unforeseen circumstances forced the cancellation of his summer program depriving us of Aboubakar’s wonderful presence. To help Aboubakar recoup some revenue\, we are focusing on his most distinctive workshop\, fermented mineral mud\, and offering it in a hybrid in-person/Zoom format. This is an opportunity to learn a traditional art technique from a gifted instructor — as we gather together at the Fibershed studio. We will provide you with specially prepared Malian finimigu (stripcloth)\, fermented mud paste\, and fabric to create your own designs. \n\nCANCELLATION POLICY: Refunds (minus Eventbrite fees) are available up to 7 days before the event. If you cancel after 7 days before the event we can only offer a refund (minus Eventbrite fees) if we are able to fill your space from the waitlist. Otherwise\, there will be no refunds or transfers. \n\nTuition Scholarships & Transportation/Childcare Stipends\nFibershed is offering two scholarships to most workshops; one scholarship if it’s a small class. In addition to scholarships for tuition\, we are offering a limited number of stipends for transportation and/or childcare. If you would not otherwise be able to attend\, and would like to be considered as a scholarship and/or stipend recipient\, please answer a few brief questions on this Google Form. Responses will be reviewed by Learning Center staff and kept strictly confidential. \n\nBONUS: The Clothing Swap Closet is now open during workshops and events at the Fibershed Learning Center! \nVisit the Clothing Swap Closet when you attend a workshop or event at the Learning Center and exchange your 100% natural fiber garments and accessories. Your clothing contributions must be clean and in good condition. Each contribution entitles 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!

SUMMARY:Design Your Own Backstrap Loom with Mayan Master Weaver Doña Lidia
DESCRIPTION:A warping workshop for students ready to create their own Mayan backstrap loom \nJoin us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center\, in Point Reyes\, CA\, and build your own loom in the style of the Mayan brocade backstrap looms\, from start to finish. \nDoña Lidia de Lopez’s brocade looms are a work of art\, handmade in the ancestral style of her hometown of San Antonio Aguas Calientes\, Sacatepequez\, Guatemala. Assembled using a combination of bold\, colorful cotton and multiple heddles\, the loom is prepared for single and double-sided brocade\, the latter a unique style particular to her hometown. \nThrough her delicate and vibrant weaving\, Doña Lidia holds and uplifts her heritage\, creating pieces that combine story\, environment\, ancestral geometry\, and fiber art. Teaching her textile art\, she feels\, is a spiritual calling to keep her tradition alive. \nDoña Lidia’s güipiles\, belts\, and other textiles are currently exhibited at the 2023 International Folk Art Market in Santa Fe\, New Mexico. Previously\, her art has been in exhibitions around the world including: Germany\, Canada\, France\, Italy\, Mexico\, Japan\, and the United States. She has taught weaving throughout the States at several universities. She is currently a recipient of a 2023 Weave a Real Peace grant. \nDoña Lidia lives in San Antonio Aguas Calientes\, Guatemala\, with her family\, and has a vendor space at El Mercadito Artesanias adjacent to the plaza in Antigua\, Guatemala. We are excited to welcome her as she visits and shares her traditional craft. \n\nOutline of the Workshop: \nIn this class\, participants will design and assemble their own loom by exploring a palette of colors and making their own customized cotton warp that will be ready to weave into a belt. Participants will attach the warp to end rods and shed rods\, setup the heddles\, roll a bobbin\, and lay out their first rows on their brocade loom to secure the loom. All pieces for the loom are included in a material packet for each student including: rods\, shed rods\, batten\, tenter\, backstrap\, tie-rope\, bobbin\, brocade pick\, and colorful fibers. Participants will leave the class knowing how to prepare and assemble their own Mayan backstrap loom for future weaving projects. \nDoña Lidia will be assisted in this workshop by two weavers\, Sari Monroy Solis and her son Nathaniel. The day after\, August 6\, Doña Lidia will be a guest assistant in Sari and Nathaniel’s beginning backstrap weaving class at Fibershed. \nNote: It is recommended that participants in the August 5 “Design Your Own Backstrap Loom” sign up for a backstrap weaving class at Fibershed on either August 6 or September 23 (or were enrolled in June) since this workshop will be focused on the design and assembly of the loom. \nEnroll Here: eventbrite.com/e/670474175307 \n\nCANCELLATION POLICY: Refunds (minus Eventbrite fees) available up to 7 days before the event.

SUMMARY:Weaving on a Mayan Backstrap Loom with Sari Monroy Solís
DESCRIPTION:Learn to weave on a brocade-ready loom that you will take home \nThe backstrap loom goes back thousands of years and is one of the oldest known tools in the world. It evolved in several places\, including the Western highlands of Guatemala. Mayan weavers continue to make traditional clothing for everyday use and for the textile market using this traditional loom. \nJoin us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station\, CA\, where we will learning this ancient skill from Sari Monroy Solís\, whose paternal family comes from the Valle de Panchoy area of Sacatepequez\, Guatemala (now called Antigua and San Antonio Aguas Calientes). To connect to her Kaqchikel community and elders\, Sari weaves using the backstrap loom and teaches this art to others\, especially fellow diaspora. \nThe class will focus on the traditional Mayan backstrap loom. You will learn on a brocade-ready loom that you will take home. The class will begin by learning how the body connects to the loom\, the parts of the loom\, and how to start plain weaving. Once comfortable with plain weaving\, you will learn how to do single-side brocade using common motifs. You will learn the names and origins of these motifs and how to design your own. \nReady to start weaving? We will share a special treat from Guatemala at the end and talk about local fibers that work on these looms\, warping\, and what you can do with your finished piece. \nMaximum 8 students. \nEnroll here: eventbrite.com/e/548210240587 \nIncluded: a loom that is warped with cotton yarn\, plus tools and cotton yarn for weaving \nBring: a cushion for more comfortable seating; personal snacks\, lunch and beverages (a selection of teas will be served on site).

Her father came from the Mayan Kaqchikel community in the Valle de Panchoy area of Sacatepequez\, Guatemala and her mother from the highlands of Veracruz\, Mexico. Traditional weaving\, restoring güipiles\, and Mayan embroidery are some of the ways she maintains her connection to her community of elders in Guatemala. Foraging\, natural dyes\, and plant medicine are some of the ways she honors her maternal Indigenous lineage in Veracruz. She is also an avid mender\, knitter\, and upcycler of fabrics.

Each artwork is made by obsessively pressing thousands of tiny cut pieces of colored string into wax. \nThe pieces in Beauty and Terror range from major aspects and lesser known crimes of the Holocaust as well as redemptive stories and heroic acts of resistance. Believing that art has the power to shift human behavior\, Bernstein chooses subject matter\, materials\, and processes that support this idea. Her subject matter combined with her artistic technique is her way of shouting from the rooftops that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. These pieces exist in part to help prevent historical amnesia and to push back against rising autocracies around the world.

SUMMARY:2-Day Yarn and String Painting Workshop with Robin L Bernstein
DESCRIPTION:Learn to make a yarn painting of your own design. \nThe making of a yarn painting can be much more than drawing a design and filling it in.

A wide variety of colorful yarns and strings will be available to choose from. Techniques included are drawing\, creating a composition\, transferring a design\, melting brushing and smoothing wax\, and pressing yarn. \nStudents should bring: If possible\, please bring a Desk Lamp fitted with a bulb that produces small amount of heat\, Odds-and-Ends yarn and/or string (not thread!) that you have hanging around \nAll levels are welcome! \nEnroll here: LINK \n\nAgenda: \nSaturday\, September 2 from 2-5pm \nSunday\, September 3 from 10am – 3pm \n\nCost: \nTuition: Members/$140.

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibit - Beauty and Terror by Robin Bernstein
DESCRIPTION:Robin L Bernstein will be exhibiting a selection of works from Beauty and Terror\, an 18 work series about the Holocaust\, as well as work about contemporary issues. Each artwork is made by obsessively pressing thousands of tiny cut pieces of colored string into wax. \nThe pieces in Beauty and Terror range from major aspects and lesser known crimes of the Holocaust as well as redemptive stories and heroic acts of resistance. Believing that art has the power to shift human behavior\, Bernstein chooses subject matter\, materials\, and processes that support this idea. Her subject matter combined with her artistic technique is her way of shouting from the rooftops that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. These pieces exist in part to help prevent historical amnesia and to push back against rising autocracies around the world.
