SUMMARY:Ranch Retreat with Kira K Designs at Meridian Jacobs
DESCRIPTION:Meet Jacob sheep\, a primitive breed known for their large horns\, at a beautiful ranch in Vacaville\, only an hour away from San Francisco! We’ll start the day with coffee\, tea\, and baked goods while knitting\, crocheting\, and spinning. Rancher Robin Lynde of Meridian Jacobs will take us on a farm tour including petting some sheep\, possible holding lambs (in March) or seeing a sheepdog demo. \nWe’ll have a mini class where you can start knitting a fun intermediate two-color bandana cowl\, with a knitting and a crochet option. One pattern is included in the retreat registration and you can request a different one. Bring your own yarn\, or plan to buy Jacob wool yarn or Timm Ranch wool yarn\, both custom spun to Robin’s specifications\, either in sheepy colors or naturally dyed. There will also be time to relax and chat\, shop in the farm store\, and browse through a trunk show of Kira K Designs knitting and crochet kits.

SUMMARY:Regional Rainbows: Northern CA Fungal Fibershed with Alissa Allen
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating Regional Rainbows: Exploring the Northern California Fungal Fibershed with Alissa Allen of Mycopigments \nJoin us for a three-day immersive workshop revealing the vibrant hues of the Northern California Fungal Fibershed at the Fibershed Learning Center in Point Reyes\, CA. In this three-day course\, you will experience the breadth of the art and science behind working with fungal dyes. \nDate\nApril 18th to April 20 \n9am – 4pm \nLocation\nFibershed Learning Center \n14000 Point Reyes – Petaluma Road Point Reyes Station\, CA 94956 \nThe Event\n\nWe’ll start by exploring the local landscape\, practicing techniques for spotting\, documenting\, and identifying mushrooms and lichens with ethical harvest practices at the forefront of our minds. We’ll then go through the process of testing our findings for dye potential. This will leave us with a solid approach to one of the most important aspects of the craft: acquiring dye materials.\nOn our second day\, we’ll work with a curated selection of Northern California’s finest wild dye specimens\, exploring the specific route to optimal color required by each fungal group. We’ll coax vibrant hues from the entire spectrum of color.\nOur third day together is dedicated to dyeing your own selection of protein fibers: wool\, silk\, alpaca\, etc. Bring 6 oz of protein fibers to dye\, plus additional fiber – in case there’s extra dye to utilize\, there almost always is! This workshop aspect shows how fiber selection plays a role in showcasing the color. Observing everyone’s variable results will enable you to take note and move forward confidently in fiber selection.\n\nIn this workshop\, you’ll connect with other fungi and fiber enthusiasts while you enhance your skills at spotting mushroom habitats\, testing for color\, and ultimately creating stunning\, naturally dyed fibers from local fungal dye species. In addition to your own dyed fiber\, you’ll take home an instructional guide\, a field testing kit\, an elegantly designed silk scarf\, and a rainbow record of recipes and samples from the best local species. \n– – – – – – – – – – \nPlease bring any personal snacks\, lunch and beverages. Coffee and tea will be offered. \nMaximum 15 students. \n– – – – – – – – – – – \nAbout the Instructor\nAlissa Allen is a naturalist and textile artist based in Washington state and the founder of Mycopigments (2012).

SUMMARY:Documenting Diversity: A Bioblitz of the Fibershed Watershed ft Damon Tighe
DESCRIPTION:Participate in the national City Nature Challenge exploring the biodiversity within Point Reyes Station’s 1\,350 acre Black Mountain Ranch! \nDate\nApril 27\, 2025 \n10AM – 2 PM \nLocation\nFibershed Learning Center \n14000 Point Reyes – Petaluma Road Point Reyes Station\, CA 94956 \nAbout this event\nLearn about local plants\, animals\, fungi and insects while helping us all understand the diversity of organisms that share in Fibershed‘s watershed by participating in a BioBlitz using the iNaturalist platform. We will meet at the Fibershed Learning Center in Point Reyes Station for this opportunity to venture into a glimpse of the 1\,350 acre private\, wild land of Black Mountain Ranch where it is based. \n\nA BioBlitz is a focused survey of lands that bring experts and enthusiasts together to help generate a list of what lives there.\niNaturalist is a free platform that allows you to get real time feedback on what organisms you are seeing and contribute them to the scientific community.\n\nWe will begin with an overview of what we know about the land from a historical and biodiversity perspective and then will spend about 3 hrs exploring and documenting the property with iNaturalist. A wrap up session will allow us to review what we discovered\, get final identifications on things we saw and discuss what we learned. When you go into the land with a mission to see diversity\, you will always notice more\, and being in the land with other people will help expand the way you see. \nThe goal is not only to deliver a data set of what lives in the Fibershed Watershed\, but to give you tools to see more diversity on any foray into the world. \n\nSpecial Note! Uploaded observations from this Bioblitz will contribute to the national\, annual City Nature Challenge (April 25-28) for the San Francisco Bay Area region! To learn more\, check out:\n\nCityNatureChallenge.org – and – iNaturalist: 2025 City Nature Challenge\, San Francisco Bay Area\n\n\n\nInstructor Bio:\nDamon Tighe is a biotechnologist based in the San Francisco East Bay who trains teachers on bringing in cutting edge biotechnology like DNA sequencing\, protein analysis\, etc into classrooms across the western US. He moonlights as a naturalist with a focus on fungi and community science. He has over 90k observations on iNaturalist and more than 1\,000 of those are fungi that are sequenced which are helping us to understand the unnamed fungal biodiversity in California. \nIG: @damontighe\niNaturalist: damontighe \nPack List (required): \n\nhiking water bottle\, packed trail lunch\, and snacks\nhat and sunscreen\ncomfortable shoes to hike in\nday-hike size backpack\ncamera for photographing organisms (including the miniscule\, large\, and distantly visible)\nbinoculars\nhiking water bottle and snacks\nsun-protective clothing\nlightweight warm jacket if it gets cold\n\nPack List (advised): \n\nsun-protective clothing\nlightweight warm jacket if it gets cold\nbinoculars\nadditional personal snacks\, lunch\, and beverages\nany spare batteries\, memory cards\, etc for cameras\noptional: computer or method of uploading photos while we review and add our image data to iNaturalist together during the last hour (wifi is available on site)\n\nThis event will predominantly take place outdoors and on foot during the first 3 hours. There will be a combination of hiking both on and off trail\, however there will be many opportunities to pause during the hike while observing the different organisms we find. \nWe recommend packing light for the hike for the sake of carrying comfort and ease–attendees will be able to store their additional items in the classroom while we are on foot. \nRegister Now\n

In 2012 the importance of producing textiles on a local level was becoming a national movement. Missing in the local textile production in Northern California was linen. Sandy and other community members in Chico began to grow then harvest fiber flax for linen. In 2017 her husband Durl Van Alstyne joined the local linen movement when they acquired a small farm to expand their vision. The farm gave them the opportunity to grow fiber flax on a larger scale while practicing Regenerative Agriculture. Harvesting on a larger scale required a need to create small scale mechanical flax processing tools to accommodate their growth. Chico Flax was then created which is now a non profit called Golden State Linen to education and encourage flax to linen as a viable industry here in the north state. \nRegister Now
