SUMMARY:Spinning Like a Pro with Marlie de Swart and Mimi Luebbermann
DESCRIPTION:Join us at beautiful Windrush Farm for a class on advanced spinning techniques with Marlie de Swart and Mimi Luebbermann. This class will introduce more advanced spinning techniques and builds on the skills learned in Beginning Spinning. You will learn to spin worsted and woolens to create yarns for knitting\, crochet\, or weaving. You will also spin different fibers including alpaca and mohair\, as well as explore plying techniques such as: two-ply\, three-ply\, and Navajo or chain-plying. Once you finish this class\, you will have gathered the skills for confident spinning. All materials are included. A Louet wheel is included for use during class. \nClass schedule: \n\nSaturday\, October 7\, 1:00pm – 4:00pm\n\nLocation: Windrush Farm\, 2263 Chileno Valley Road\, Petaluma\, CA 94952 \nPlease bring: Personal snacks and beverages. Windrush Farm is in a rural location outside Petaluma. The farm is located on flat but uneven terrain (please bring sturdy shoes). \nRegistration and Information: eventbrite.com/e/694425454227 \n\nAbout the Instructors: \nMarlie de Swart learned to spin as a young child at her mother’s knee in Holland\, and she has been doing it ever since. For the last twenty-two years\, she has been teaching spinning at Windrush Farm Fiber School in the Chileno Valley. Her book “Knitting Woolscapes\, Designs Inspired by Coastal Marin Wool” has many sweater patterns developed to be made with hand-spun yarn. She is one of the first board members of Fibershed and\, until recently\, owned and operated the Black Mountain Weavers Store (an artist cooperative) in Point Reyes Station. Marlie’s passion is everything fiber\, especially local fiber.  \nMimi Luebbermann moved to Chileno Valley in 1995 with the dream of living quietly on a farm. Instead\, she ended up crazy about fiber and determined to create a fiber farm. Now\, sheep\, alpacas\, llamas\, goats\, and rabbits all contribute to the Windrush Farm yarns. As a dedicated spinner\, she works to educate people about the connection between fiber animals and yarn\, through school field trips\, her farmers market booth\, private tours\, and spinning classes to meet the animals and learn the process of transforming fleece to yarn. It is an endlessly fascinating life. \nInstagram: @windrushfarmpetaluma \nWeb: windrushfarm.wordpress.com \n\nTuition Scholarships & Transportation/Childcare Stipends:\nFibershed is offering one to two scholarships to most workshops. 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.

SUMMARY:The Carder\, A Tool to Expand Your Spinning with Color and Texture
DESCRIPTION:Join Marlie de Swart and Mimi Luebbermann at Windrush Farm for a class dedicated to the drum carder and all its magical uses! This class introduces the spinner to the drum carder and how to use this versatile tool to sandwich different fibers or mix colors.

Hank and Momma Clothing was truly the pivotal point in Gynna’s creative career. She’s passionate about creating comfy\, cozy clothing that instills confidence and promotes creative exploration for all. Today you can find Gynna’s clothing lines on her website GynnaMade.com and on FibershedMarketplace.com. \nGynna believes that anyone can learn to create a wardrobe that helps ground them and gives meaning to their lives\, wherever they are on their creative journey. \nRooted in smart fashion\, she is excited to share her experiences\, tips and tricks and creative process through her new SMART Fashion workshops.  \nIG: GynnaMade \nWeb: gynnamade.com/ \n\n_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ \nTuition Scholarships & Transportation/Childcare Stipends \nFibershed offers one to two scholarships per workshop depending on the size of the class.

SUMMARY:Borrowed from the Soil: Design Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A farm-to-closet design exhibition\n\nDo your clothes help or harm?\nToday’s clothing relies on transnational supply chains\, petroleum-based materials\, and land and labor exploitation. But what if your clothing could build ecosystem and community resilience\, while regenerating healthy soil and land? \nThe Borrowed from the Soil exhibition explores a future vision where the way we produce and use one of our most basic human necessities – clothing — can support the longevity and health of our local ecosystems and communities. Explore the process behind the production of locally-grown and made clothing that connects you to California farms\, mills and designers. This exhibition follows the journey from cotton and flax fields to sheep ranches and alpaca farms through the transformations of raw materials into beautiful textiles\, embedding into the design process an understanding of how these materials can be healthfully returned back into our soils. We invite you to help build a collective understanding on the interconnectedness between material\, design\, and consumer choices\, and the land and people whom these choices impact. \n\nGENERAL INFO: Please read carefully \nLocation: Buddha Barn (down the road from Fibershed Learning Center) — 13201 Pt. Reyes – Petaluma Rd\, Point Reyes Station\, CA 94956 \nTickets: Tickets are sold through our pre-sale and at the door\, for $10. All proceeds go to Fibershed programs. Tickets are non-refundable. Tickets are sold by a 1-hour arrival time slot. (Please try your best to arrive during this timeframe\, but as long as you arrive on the day noted on your ticket\, your ticket is valid.) \nSchedule: \n\nFriday\, November 10\, 1-3p — Soft Opening/ in conjunction with our annual Symposium (Separate registration here)\nSaturday\, November 11\, 11-2p — Reception (11-1p Meet the Makers)\nSunday\, November 12\, 11-3p\nMonday\, November 13\, 11-3p\nTuesday\, November 14 \, 11-3\nWednesday\, November 15 — School Visits (If you are interested in organizing a visit for your class\, please email heather@fibershed.org. See Educator Section below.)\nThursday\, November 16 — School Visits (Update: This day is fully booked for school visits)\n\n\nMAKERS: \nAll of the featured designers in the exhibition are either participating in Fibershed’s year-long design challenge or a design student in one of our partner Design School programs. Each maker is exploring how their design choices can embed longevity\, compostability\, and respect for the soil while using local natural fibers grown on Climate Beneficial farms and ranches. \nThe exhibition will also feature work by the talented\, Petaluma-based photographer — Paige Green\, along with work by California-based fiber sculpturist Emma Doven.

SUMMARY:2023 Fibershed Symposium: Relationships of Change
DESCRIPTION:2023 Wool & Fine Fiber Symposium\nRelationships of Change\n\n \n“Relationships of Change” will explore the interdependence of people\, policy\, and materials that are necessary for transforming our soil-to-skin system. Every choice we make when wearing\, caring and consuming elicits a direct environmental\, economic\, and human response. In this year’s Symposium you’ll hear from those working on critical issues of fossil fuel divestment from textiles and fashion\, garment workers’ rights\, and new laws aiming to internalize the costs of our textile ‘waste’ while catalyzing shifts in material choice and design.  We will also take stock of our regional fibershed economies– hearing from Fibershed Affiliates\, the Fibers Fund and efforts to bring climate benefitting farming and ranching incentives to the national scale.\n\n  \nThis will be a hybrid event\, and you may join us in person in Point Reyes or virtually.  A portion of our speakers will be presenting virtually as well as a few in person. In person attendees will enjoy the 4 hour event in a casual cafe atmosphere with a special coffee and tea service.\nRegister Here
