SUMMARY:Traditional Japanese Trivets with Rimiko Berreman
DESCRIPTION:Use plant fiber to make a trivet that protects tabletops and counters from heat \nJoin us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station\, to learn how to make traditional Japanese trivets with Rimiko Berreman. \nThese donut-shaped trivets are perfect for placing hot teapots\, coffee vessels\, pots and dishes on surfaces that need protection from heat. They are especially good for holding a round-bottomed pot like a donabe (Japanese clay pot) or a tetsunabe (iron pot). \nWe’ll work with tule (rush) from Black Mountain Ranch and willow from a local property for the inside foundation\, and a choice of natural jute\, or shuro palm twine\, or both for the outside. Each participant will make two trivets. \nAdding a loop for hanging will be optional. It makes your trivets decorative pieces on the kitchen wall and keeps them within reach.\nRimiko will also show us how to make the foundation for the trivets using materials such as old garments and sheets\, and other materials you might have on hand. \nAll materials are provided\, and you will receive a handout that illustrates how to weave this trivet. \nEnroll here: eventbrite.com/e/611760491097 \nPlease bring: a pair of scissors; any personal snacks\, beverages and lunch (a variety of teas will be provided) \n\nFibershed Scholarship Program for Tuition 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 entities 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! \n\nThe instructor: Rimiko Berreman was born and grew up in Tokushima\, a small city in the Shikoku region of Japan\, surrounded by Japanese artisan crafts including Aizome (indigo)\, traditional woodworking\, carving\, as well as weaving with natural materials. She was involved in local industry programs in her twenties and one of her early jobs was sewing products including Sashiko and Shibori at the Indigo studio in Tokushima. Those were great opportunities for her to learn these traditional skills. She continues creating things using multiple media. Visit rimikoart.com and instagram.com/rimikoart to see more of Rimiko’s work.

SUMMARY:A Needle and Some Thread: Sewing Garments by Hand with Noelle Guetti
DESCRIPTION:Learn to sew clothing without a machine\, wherever you are. Outside! On the road! Really anywhere! \nJoin us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station\, CA\, for a 2-day workshop with Noelle Guetti. (Please note: this workshop is on the Saturday & Sunday of Memorial Day weekend\, and meets from 10 am to 3 pm each day.) \nThere are so many reasons to sew by hand — not least of which is the quiet break it provides from the pressure to produce quickly\, even when “crafting.” (Not that hand sewing is always slow! Once you’ve got the hang of it\, you can really move.) But hand sewing is still the revered mainstay of high end tailoring and couture garments. Hand sewn stitches are incredibly strong — think of all of the intact\, well-worn historic garments out there — and the seams are much softer and more pliable than their machine sewn counterparts. \nIn this class\, we’ll cover stitches appropriate for sewing a complete garment from start to finish. We’ll discuss thread material\, weight and preparation\, types of hand sewing needles\, thimble use\, and touch on construction methods that are more easily done by hand. \nTogether\, we’ll practice multiple techniques for: basting\, fully enclosed seams\, hems\, buttonholes and stretch fabrics. \nAs we sew together\, there will be plenty of space to ask questions about specific projects\, wild garment ideas\, sewing goals and the basic questions you’ve always been too afraid to ask (“What IS the best way to tie off your thread at the end of a seam??”). \nIf you’d like\, you are encouraged to bring a cut-out garment or other project so you can practice your stitches in situ and get feedback and guidance. (It’s a good idea to choose a project made from a light-to-medium-weight fabric to start out — give those hand muscles some time to strengthen!). \nNeedles\, thread\, and wax will be provided. Everyone will get to take home a packet of needles and a cake of beeswax. I will bring an assortment of thimbles to try out. Bring any ill-fitting thimbles you have rolling around in the bottom of your grandma’s sewing box\, and we’ll do a little thimble swap to get you fitted with one that sits snug on your finger. \nAlso bring with you: \n\npersonal lunch\, snacks and beverages (a variety of teas will be served on site)\nnotepad and pencil\, if you like taking notes\nsmall sewing scissors\nsome medium-sized fabric scraps you’re excited to play with (optional — there will be plenty of fabric provided as well)\n\n\nNoelle Guetti (he/him) is a lifelong textile philosopher and craftsperson. He works with the overlapping practices of weaving\, sewing\, and pattern design to explore the ways that clothing brings people more fully into their bodies and souls. He filled his first custom order (a pair of appliquéd corduroy pants!) at age fourteen\, and now has nearly two decades of experience in bringing people’s deepest clothing heart-longings into the world (including a stint making fantastical ballet costumes — tutus! corsetry!) He weaves a lot of his own fabric on a giant wooden loom\, and will soon be teaching other people to do the same at the Marshfield School of Weaving in Vermont. Hand sewing is his biggest treat\, the cherry on top of every garment he makes. prayersforwhatis.com @prayersforwhatis \n\nCANCELLATION POLICY: Refunds (minus Eventbrite fees) available up to 30 before the event.

SUMMARY:"Pigmentshed" with Tilke Elkins of Wild Pigment Project
DESCRIPTION:Two Days of Hyperlocal Paint Palettes & Reciprocal Studio Practice \nJoin us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station\, CA\, for a 2-day workshop with Tilke Elkins. (Please note: this workshop takes place on the Saturday & Sunday of Memorial Day weekend\, and meets from 10 to 4 each day.) \nExplore paint-making through collaboration with the minerals\, plants\, and waste-stream foraged pigments found right here at Fibershed. \nEnroll here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/586290409397 \nPaint-making through deep relationship with place nourishes both the painter and the land. By intercepting materials as they travel through their life cycles and exploring opportunities for reciprocity — ways to give back to the land and its communities\, both human and interspecies — artists can align their material practices with values of reverence for place. \nJoin artist and Wild Pigment Project founding director Tilke Elkins for a two-day collaboration with foraged colorants found at Fibershed. Together\, we’ll build a wide-ranging palette using found objects\, exhausted dye baths\, garden waste\, on-site minerals\, and more. We’ll explore a variety of local binders\, including ‘keno’ (eucalyptus sap) and make both chalk and charcoal paints which will allow us to further broaden our palettes. \nWe will touch briefly on lake-making techniques (especially in the case of exhausted dye baths)\, but our focus\, for botanical colorants\, will be alternatives to lake pigments\, including inks and “pinks.” (Lake pigments are a means of fixing a soluble plant colorant\, like a dye\, to an insoluble mineral\, which can then be dried and used as paint. The primary mineral used is commercial alum.) \nWe’ll meet from 10 to 4 both days. Our schedule will evolve in response to the weather\, mood and communications we receive from the land\, and will include: \n\nintroductions & sharing of personal creative practice (bring work if you like!) and cultural/historical/ancestral relationship with land\ndiscussion of local Indigenous ancestral & contemporary pigment practices\nquiet\, non-verbal tuning-in to place\nguidelines for reciprocal foraging practices\nsafety guidelines\ngroup foraging time\npreparing materials (plants\, soils\, found objects) for paint-making\npaint-making with foraged materials\ncharcoal & chalk-making\nwild paint binders\npainting techniques for maximizing palette range\n\nYou’ll take home a holistic\, land-centric\, reciprocal approach to paint-making\, multiple perspectives on how to work with wild pigments as paint\, and a series of small paintings of your own. \nEach participant should bring the following: \n\npersonal snacks\, lunch & beverages (an assortment of teas will be served on site)\na notebook and pen if you like to take notes\n4 mason jars (quart size)\n2 spoons\n2 paint brushes\na pencil\na surface you like to paint on (optional — several options will be available)\na paint-dedicated mortar & pestle — stone or ceramic (about 4 inches diameter)\npalette knife or plastic scraper\n\nAdditional materials that can be purchased in advance\, or borrowed from Fibershed during the workshop: \n\nMuller — There will be a few locally made mullers available to purchase for $50; or Natural Pigments sells a variety of sizes (naturalpigments.com/glass-muller.html). OR\, a less expensive alternative is a glass pickling weight that you have roughened with silicon carbide to grind pigment effectively (naturalpigments.com/silicon-carbide-100-grit-100g.html).\nMulling surface — such as a prepared grinding plate (www.naturalpigments.com/glass-grinding-plate.html). Alternatives are an old glass microwave plate or a piece of tempered glass with smooth edges that you have roughened with silicon carbide to grind pigment effectively (naturalpigments.com/silicon-carbide-100-grit-100g.html).\neye dropper\n\n\nTilke Elkins is an artist\, writer\, and curator based on Kalapuya territory / Oregon\, focused on site-specific/responsive painting and social practice art. Tilke has worked with mineral and botanical pigments since 2007\, and is the founding director of Wild Pigment Project\, a collaborative initiative she established in 2019 to promote ecological balance and regenerative economies through a passion for wild pigments\, their places of origin\, and their cultural histories. \nTilke is a passionate educator who teaches regular courses on foraging and paint-making. She has introduced principles of wild pigment reciprocal practice to diverse creative communities\, including Portland Community College\, the University of Oregon\, WildCraft Studio School\, Lewis and Clark College\, the Pacific Northwest College of Art and to arts educators and their students worldwide through her online comprehensive foraging and art-material-making course\, Being With Pigments. Her most recent work was exhibited at form & concept gallery in Santa Fe along with the Wild Pigment Project Group Exhibition\, which she curated. She was a co-organizer for the inaugural Pigments Revealed International Symposium in 2021\, and was a resident at the Sitka Center for Art & Ecology for the month of February\, 2023. \n\nCANCELLATION POLICY: Refunds (minus Eventbrite fees) available up to 30 before the event.

SUMMARY:Cancelled: Aboubakar Fofana Textiles Trunk Show
DESCRIPTION:We deeply regret that this trunk show has been canceled. We will be following up soon with ways to support Aboubakar’s work.\nBorn in Mali and raised in France\, Aboubakar Fofana is a multidisciplinary artist and designer whose working mediums include calligraphy\, textiles and natural dyes. He is known for his work in reinvigorating and redefining West African indigo dyeing techniques\, and much of his focus is devoted to the preservation and reinterpretation of traditional West African textile and natural dyeing techniques and materials. \nFofana’s work stems from a profound spiritual belief that nature is divine and that through respecting this divinity we can understand the immense and sacred universe. His raw materials come from the natural world\, and his working practice revolves around the cycles of nature\, the themes of birth\, decay and change\, and the impermanence of these materials. He sees the conception and realization of this work as a form of spiritual practice which is shared with his audience. \nFofana is currently deeply involved in creating a farm in conjunction with the local community in the district of Siby\, Mali\, in which the two types of indigenous West African indigo will be the centerpiece for a permaculture model based around local food\, medicine and dye plants. This project hopes to contribute to the rebirth of fermented indigo dyeing in Mali and beyond\, and represents his life’s greatest project to date. \n“For me\, the blue of indigo is symbolic of many things\, many deeply spiritual connections within my homeland. But it is also deeply symbolic of what colonialism has done to my region and my people\, and to lands and societies elsewhere. I can talk about blue as a colour\, as a shade\, as an idea\, as a spiritual practice. I cannot ever separate my work from my spirituality\, and I equally cannot separate it from my political struggle for African liberation\, which is ever-present in all my work.” — Aboubakar Fofana\, from Beyond the Blueness on Tatter \nView a video from Botanical Colors’ Feedback Friday for a tour of Aboubakar’s Bamako studio\, where you will see him harvest indigo\, do some indigo dyeing\, introduce his artisans\, and see all the amazingness that is Aboubakar on his home turf. \nFollow Aboubakar on Instagram @aboubakarfofana \n \nPhoto credits: Top\, garment photos courtesy of Aboubakar Fofana\, additional photos by Francois Goudier and Suki Zoe. Above\, portrait of Aboubakar by Francois Goudier\, photo of textiles from Aboubakar’s studio by Anna Brones.

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 (waitlist): eventbrite.com/e/515848666247 \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). We are in a rural location\, so most people bring their lunch rather than drive to town. \nSari (Sarah) Monroy Solís lives in diaspora in Northern California. 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. You can follow her as she continues to make things and explore the natural dye palette: @theblueweaver \n\nCANCELLATION POLICY: Refunds (minus Eventbrite fees) available up to 30 before the event. If you cancel after 30 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.

SUMMARY:Natural Dyes with Heidi Iverson & Allison Reilly
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station\, CA\, where we will create a dynamic natural color story with 5-7 natural dyes from plants that are easily sourced/foraged from our local landscape. \nAlso included will be cochineal\, a historically significant dye extracted from an insect that lives on Opuntia cacti. Although cochineal is not generally found in our landscape (though it has reportedly been found in Oakland)\, it’s such a bright\, beautiful color that feels so much like summer\, the instructors wanted to include it. \nIn this class\, you will learn: \n\nHow to mordant both protein and cellulose fibers.\nHow to create color from leaves\, bark\, and flowers\nEthical harvesting and processing of different plants\nSeasonal plants and the colors they make\nHow to modify colors to create a wider color palette\nHow to dye with substantive\, tannin-rich plants that don’t require the use of mordants\n\nSpecial note: Some of the dye vats will already be made because they require more than one day to extract color. \nMaterials included: fabric swatches\, thread and yarn — both cellulose and protein fibers \nPlease bring: personal snacks\, lunch and beverages (a selection of teas will be served).
