SUMMARY:Growing & Processing Flax with Sandy Fisher
DESCRIPTION:Join Sandy Fisher of Chico Flax for an online presentation about growing and processing flax to make linen. Sandy will first show images of this year’s crop—growing\, harvesting\, retting in the field and in the tanks\, and drying on the lines before processing. Sandy will then do a hands-on demo of all three steps of flax processing: 1) The manual Brake and how/why the tool is used with the flax bundle. 2) The Scutching board and paddle and how/why it is used. 3) The three combs called Hackles that separates the short tow from the long lin\, and an explanation of tow and long lin. \nParticipants will be invited to submit questions. \nRegister on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VGX1ek-HSiKRVW_E1lDioA \nA video of the webinar will be made available to webinar registrants within approximately one week of the event. \n\nSandy has been weaving for over 35 years. Her passion for textiles began as a child when she learned to knit. She continued her love of textiles in college\, graduating with a BA degree in Art\, emphasis in Weaving from CSU\, Chico. Over the course of her career Sandy has shared her knowledge through both private and public instruction. In 2012 Sandy was looking for a locally sourced fiber other than wool to make a unique fabric that would be called Chico Cloth. She and other community members started experiments in growing fiber flax in Northern California. In 2016 Chico Flax joined Fibershed’s Producer Program and in 2018 Chico Flax LLC was formed. Chico Flax is piloting regenerative production and processing systems for flax in our region\, bringing a new industry and social enterprise to Northern California in collaboration with local community members\, farmers\, artisans and institutions. By winter of 2020\, marketable yarns blended with wool and cotton will be available. \n\nThis webinar is part of a series that will be streaming live via Zoom from the Fibershed Learning Center\, \nThe Fibershed Learning Center is a multi-use space to demonstrate and provide hands-on connections to natural fiber and dye systems. The Learning Center will open later this year in Point Reyes Station\, California\, on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Coast Miwok and within the historic Black Mountain Ranch property. \nDuring this time of sheltering in place\, we are pleased to begin offering a series of online classes via Zoom. Proceeds from each event support the class instructor and contribute to Fibershed for educational programming. A portion of the proceeds from this event will also be shared with a local and mission-aligned non-profit organization\, selected by the instructor — California Indian Basketweavers’ Association. Currently scheduled online events are listed on our Learning Center page.

SUMMARY:Let's Talk... Regenerative Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Almost a decade ago\, weaver and natural dyer Rebecca Burgess envisioned a ‘fibershed\,’ a place-based textile system\, similar to a watershed or foodshed\, that could mitigate climate change\, support farmer livelihoods\, and strengthen regional economies. \nToday\, Fibershed has pioneered a bioregional approach to regenerating ecosystems and decentralizing the textile supply chain. Join us this Thursday\, July 23rd at 10 am PST to hear Rebecca’s perspective on how regenerative fiber can change a challenging supply system. \nReserve your spot here.

SUMMARY:Live FEEDBACK FRIDAY with Fibershed Founder Rebecca Burgess
DESCRIPTION:Join us July 31st\, 9 am Pacific\, 12 pm Eastern for a live Zoom FEEDBACK FRIDAY with Fibershed Founder\, Rebecca Burgess. \nRebecca Burgess is the executive director of Fibershed\, chair of the board for Carbon Cycle Institute\, and the author of Harvesting Color as well as Fibershed-Growing a Movement of Farmers\, Fashion Activists\, and Makers for a New Textile Economy. \n  \nRSVP for FEEDBACK FRIDAY with Fibershed Founder Rebecca Burgess HERE. \nRebecca is a vocationally trained weaver and natural dyer and has over a decade of experience writing and implementing hands-on curricula that focus on the intersection of restoration ecology and fiber systems. She has built an extensive network of farmers and artisans in the Northern California Fibershed to pilot an innovative fiber systems model at the community scale. Her project has become internationally recognized with over 53 Fibershed communities now in existence. \nRebecca began the Fibershed journey in 2010 with a commitment “to develop and wear a prototype wardrobe whose dyes\, fibers and labor were sourced from a region no larger than 150 miles from the project’s headquarters. Burgess had no expected outcomes from the personal challenge other than to reduce her own ecological footprint and maybe inspire a few others. \nShe teamed up with a talented group of farmers and artisans to build the wardrobe by hand\, as manufacturing equipment had all been lost from the landscape more than 20 years ago. The goal was to illuminate that regionally grown fibers\, natural dyes\, and local talent was still in great enough existence to provide this most basic human necessity—our clothes. Within months\, the project became a movement\, and the word Fibershed and the working concept behind it spread to regions across the globe. \n  \nFEEDBACK FRIDAY \nIf you are not familiar with FEEDBACK FRIDAY\, every week\, we speak with dyers\, artists\, scientists and scholars about our favorite topic\, natural dyeing and color. Curated by Amy DuFault\, Botanical Colors’ Sustainability and Social Media Director and presented by Botanical Colors’ Founder  Kathy Hattori.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: The Fibershed Movement
DESCRIPTION:What Does Fashion Have to Do With Farming? Exploring the Growing Fibershed Movement in the UK \n  \nSimilar to a local watershed or a foodshed\, a Fibershed is focused on the source of the raw material\, the transparency with which it is converted into clothing\, and the connectivity among all parts\, from soil to skin and back to soil. \n  \nFibershed is an international movement developing regional and regenerative fibre systems\, where farmers\, producers\, textile workers\, designers\, distributors and many others work together to responsibly manage the full lifecycle of a garment. \n  \nJoin a panel discussion with Fibershed founding director Rebecca Burgess to discuss how the movement started in the USA and has subsequently grown around the world. We’ll hear from those building the Fibershed movement within the UK\, including Emma Hague\, who is founding director of the Bristol Textile Quarter and started the South West England Fibreshed group. We’ll also hear from farmer Gala Bailey-Barker of Plow Hatch Farm and natural dyer Deborah Barker who founded the South East England Fibreshed group. Abby Rose\, of Farmerama Radio\, will be leading the conversation\, and we’ll have time to delve into questions from the audience at the end!

SUMMARY:Sonoma County Environmental Stewardship Panel:  Education\, Predators & Balanced Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:This panel was formed to create an open\, amicable\, and educational discussion regarding wildlife management\, land conversion\, local policy & livestock predation\, specifically addressing how these issues affect our local food supply & grazing for fire fuel load reduction. \nThis is a grassroots effort to gather information\, experience\, and knowledge in a manner that honors and respects all voices. To bring together all parties of an emotionally heightened\, culturally fractioning topic in order to provide education\, while reducing the animosity between sides. We are attempting to create a methodology and template in which we can experience and consider a viewpoint that is different from our own while realizing that we can agree with aspects of both sides of the argument. We (the general public\, farmers\, researchers\, and governmental entities) are all connected and will never move forward in the discussion of these topics without flexibility\, respect\, and empathy. \nMoving forward\, we hope to develop two more panels to step this grassroots effort into creating more well-rounded policy & to provide management systems that support all different parties involved. \nClick here to register via Zoom

SUMMARY:Keeping Fashion Close to Home for Better and Lighter Living
DESCRIPTION:Objective: To highlight community solutions for reversing unsustainable trends in fashion and textiles\n\nDescription: Our wardrobes and textiles protect us from the elements and enable expressions of culture and individuality. Responsibility for closing the fashion loop lies not only with consumers\, who are affected by price\, trends\, advertising\, and available options but also with communities and companies who design\, produce\, and market products and set the policy infrastructure. The fashion industry sector and textiles stand out because people identify so intimately with purchasing decisions about what they wear. We’re seeing sustainable fashion trending in the media as consumer concern rises over the negative impacts of this industry on the environment. Better sourcing and production efforts\, consumer messaging (uniqueness and quality over quantity)\, reuse and vintage models\, and more product information are all emerging solutions. This webinar will showcase local and regional fiber and textile systems that drive environmentally and socially healthy production chains and businesses\, support local job creation\, and rebuild markets for regionally produced fashion and fiber-based products.\n  \n  \n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\n\nKatia Vladimirova\, Founder\, Sustainable Fashion Consumption Working Group \n\n\n\nKirstin Miller\, Ecocity Builders \nWinona LaDuke\, Honor the Earth & Winona’s Hemp \nRebecca Burgess\, Fibershed \nHarry Moser\, Founder\, Reshoring Initiative

SUMMARY:Knitting with Farm Yarns with Gayle Ravenscroft
DESCRIPTION:Join expert knitter\, Gayle Ravenscroft\, for a virtual class on knitting with farm yarns. Some of the topics Gayle will address are:\n• Why knitters should consider farm yarns\, and in particular\, yarns from their Fibershed\n• How to find farm yarns\n• Projects that are particularly suitable and why\n• Breed specificity (including heritage breeds) and why it can matter\n• Local designers and the pleasure of introducing a unique and local ‘angle’ into your craft\n• The creation of a monthly knitting circle at the Fibershed Learning Center (on Zoom until safe to gather in person) offering support and community\, samples of projects/kits/swatches of farm yarns and projects and eventually more organized visits with individual farms and sheep \nYarns that Gayle is currently working with include Lani’s Lana\, Meridian Jacobs\, Heartfelt Fiber Farm\, Ace in the Hole Romneys\, Rhoby’s Ranch\, Chico Flax (these represent a very wide spectrum!). There are quite a few more on Gayle’s list… \nParticipants will be invited to submit questions. \nRegister on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_J1ZU3qcmRm-65UYuvglWjQ \nA video of the webinar will be made available to webinar registrants within approximately two weeks of the event. \n\nGayle Ravenscroft has been on a fiber adventure since she learned to knit from her grandmother when she was five years old. She is passionate about all aspects of the craft\, as well as the cultivation of a mindfulness and appreciation for the history and labour represented by each piece of fabric a knitter creates. She is a teacher herself (on Zoom during the pandemic)\, and collaborates with other teachers\, designers and yarn producers around the world to offer as many opportunities to grow as possible to the local knitting community through her tiny business\, Pacific Knitting Retreats\, LLC. Gayle is amazed by her Fibershed and truly grateful that they find chances for her to participate. \n\nThis webinar is part of a series that will be streaming live via Zoom from the Fibershed Learning Center\, a multi-use space to demonstrate and provide hands-on connections to natural fiber and dye systems. The Learning Center will open later this year in Point Reyes Station\, California\, on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Coast Miwok and within the historic Black Mountain Ranch property. \nProceeds from each event support the class instructor and contribute to Fibershed for educational programming. A portion of the proceeds from each virtual event will also be shared with a local and mission-aligned non-profit organization\, selected by the instructor. Currently scheduled online events are listed on our Learning Center page at fibershed.org/programs/education/learningcenter. \n(Photos by Paige Green)

SUMMARY:Radically Rural Remote - Fiber: Building a Regional Fibershed in this New Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Do you promote a locavore lifestyle in your rural community? Have you thought about the next step of growing\, producing\, and composting local textiles? Our prospective speaker\, Rebecca Burgess is working on just these goals in her northern California community and wants others to build Fibersheds too. \nFiber offers a new frontier for localizing efforts that can have powerful economic\, environmental\, and social impacts. Soil-to-soil fiber systems can play a vital role in generating lasting prosperity with positive effects on regional economies\, global climate\, and the health and diversity of our ecosystems. Imagine a community built around producing\, creating\, marketing\, and selling quality – rather than quantity – clothing. These community ties build resilience. Come and be inspired. Leave with tools to reimagine your community and its connection with clothes.
