SUMMARY:Sheep Harvesting Workshop with John O'Mara
DESCRIPTION:This event is sponsored by a Fibershed Northern California Producer or a Fibershed Affiliate. Please search for host details within the listing for more event details.\n\nTo register visit fullcirclewool.com\n\nThis is a workshop dedicated to learning how to humanely harvest sheep and make use of the whole animal. We will demonstrate how to ethically harvest and process sheep only using a knife. We will explore the many uses of organ meats\, intestines for sausage-making\, blood\, and bones in an attempt to imbue the participants with these skills to return to their lives as part of their skillsets.  We will collaboratively honor the death of the sheep and explore the many facets of our lives that are fed by our ancient relationship to sheep.  We will eat our way through the process and learn how to break down the carcasses using seam butchery which only requires a small knife.\n\nThis class is intended for people wanting to harvest their own animals\, process roadkill\, and become more familiar with how ruminants are put together\, and how our relationship to them has and continues to evolve over time. Participants will be able to take meat home\, gamble with astragalus bones\, and have the knowledge and know-how to replicate the process.\n\n*Benefits means you will get to take meat home with you\, come prepared with a cooler.  Meat will be split up amongst those who opt in.  Proceeds go to support shepherds in the village of Umm al-Khair\, in the West Bank of Palestine through the Center for Jewish Non-Violence (see cjnv.org for more info).\n\nSee event link for pricing and other details.

SUMMARY:Black Ash Pack Basket Making Weekend with Penny Hewitt
DESCRIPTION:Turn two days (March 21 & 22; 9am-5pm) at Fibershed’s Learning Center into your own pack basket and learn one of the oldest crafts in human history! \nVisit Fibershed’s Eventbrite listing to register! \nFor thousands of years baskets served as indispensable objects in every culture. Carry on the tradition and take home a beautiful\, durable and functional basket crafted from responsibly harvested\, hand-pounded black ash logs. In this workshop by Penny Hewitt at the Fibershed Learning Center in West Marin\, students will craft a traditional Adirondack-style packbasket with cedar runners\, white ash handle and adjustable webbing straps. Great for harvesting\, canoeing\, farmer’s markets\, picnic lunches and whatever else you would use a regular backpack for. This basket is made to last and be used. \nAll materials are provided to create your pack basket. The class also includes discussion on how the materials are harvested and processed. \nParticipants should bring personal snacks\, lunch\, and beverages. Coffee and tea will be provided. \nNo experience is necessary but the project does take good hand strength. \nAbout Penny: \nPenny is passionate about revitalizing and sharing traditional skills\, particularly in the form of black ash and bark basketry. She believes learning utilitarian skills can point to alternative ways of shaping a culture that fosters land\, tradition\, and community stewardship. She enjoys teaching people how to use their hands and simple tools to transform natural materials from the surrounding forests into objects of beauty that are useful in everyday life. Penny is inspired by traditions of many cultures\, and is grateful for the opportunities of connection to the land and people\, past and present\, that this craft cultivates. Her experience includes teaching workshops to all ages\, as well as crafting for income\, pleasure and to meet the needs of her homesteading life. \nwww.lazymilltreecraft.com\ninstagramhttps://www.sloydskillsgathering.com/ \nContact rhonda@fibershed.org for more information.

Please search for host details within the listing for more event details. \nRegister here: https://www.mendocinoartcenter.org/workshops/p/the-first-beat-community-drum-activation-and-meal \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*A Djali is a historian\, storyteller and musician\, who preserves tradition and culture in West African societies.  \nJoin a powerful day of music\, movement\, and shared meal in celebration of the activation of three newly created Senegalese drums and honor the cultural traditions that brought them into being. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTimeline: \nArtist Talk – 4:00p – 5:00pm  \nActivation (procession and performance) –  5:00p – 5:30pm  \nCommunity Meal – 5:30m – 7pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn evening of drum activation\, artist dialogue\, and shared food – honoring African musical traditions and community! \nThese drums were crafted during the Senegalese Animal-to-Drum Making Workshop held April 26 at Ridgewood Ranch in Willits\, where participants collaborated with visiting Senegalese Djali*/ Traditional artists and local culture workers\, to transform the hide of a cow born and raised on the ranch into instruments of music and ceremony. With the support of local artists and culture workers\, the three communal drums created during the workshop will now be activated for the first time at the Mendocino Art Center. \nThe event will begin with an artist talk with the visiting instructors\, Saliou M’Boup and Adama Diouf\, and collaborators who helped guide the drum-making process. \nSoon after local artists\, African Dance and drumming performers\, will join our visiting instructors in a procession and rhythmic activation\, bringing the newly made drums into motion through collective music and movement. This moment marks the beginning of the handmade drums’ lives in Mendocino County\, where one will remain as a cultural resource for the Art Center – continuing to share African musical traditions with the community for years to come. \nFollowing the activation\, guests will be nourished by a community meal curated and provided by local chef (TBA). \nTogether we will reflect on the craft\, cultural lineage\, and spiritual significance of the drums\, and the journey from animal to instrument to community offering. This evening celebrates not only the creation of new instruments\, but also the relationships between land\, animal\, craft\, culture\, and community! \nFeaturing:\nSenegalese Artist Saliou M’Boup and Adama Diouf. They will be joined by local artists and culture workers who are connected to MAC (TBA). \nCome witness the first heartbeat of these drums and share in a day of rhythm\, learning\, and collective celebration! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Instructor(s):  \nSaliou M’Boup is a multi-instrumental musician specializing in West African and Senegalese drumming\, songwriting\, and teaching. Based in Los Angeles\, CA\, he continues his family legacy of playing and  teaching West African music which he learned from his mother and father at a young age. His father\, Bara M’Boup\, is a Senegalese storyteller of oral tradition (griot) and master drummer who traveled to America as the director of music for Ballet Bougarabou. His mother Mindy is a prolific dancer and student of the illustrious Guinean dancer\, Youssouf Koumbassa. \nSaliou co-created the djembe drum curriculum that is used in public schools around California and teaches African drumming in the Los Angeles Unified School System and plays with Adama Diouf in the musical group\, “The Mafe Ensemble.” \nAdama Diouf recently moved to Los Angeles from Senegal where he is a drum instructor in the local public schools. In Senegal\, Adama spent his younger years traveling the country performing healing ceremonies and learning the history of each traditional song and rhythm. When a member of the community fell ill\, their family would gather some money and ask Adama and his group to come and heal the afflicted individual with their music. Adama was also an expert in “drum butchery” or breaking down livestock to make drums. Adama currently performs with his cousin Saliou M’Boup in the musical group\, “The Mafe Ensemble.” \nOptional Materials: If attending the Activation & Community Meal feel free to bring percussion/spiritual instruments of your own.

SUMMARY:Wildcrafternoon Children's Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays this Spring! \nJoin us at the Fibershed Learning Center for a nature-based crafting workshop series\, led by nature-based educator Èské Addams and designed especially for young learners\, age 7 and up. This is a great opportunity for your child to learn various nature-based crafting skills and to engage directly with different types of organic materials and hand tools. \n🌿 Dates & Workshop Activity Lineup: These Saturdays will be monthly–please sign up separately for each event via Eventbrite: \n\n📜 February 28: Making Paper\, Seedballs\, & Paper-pulp Sculptures\,\n📚 March 28: Bookbinding & Nature journaling\,\n🍂 April 18: Flower pressing & Nature collages\,\n🧺 May 30: Basket & Cordage weaving\,\n🍃 June 27: Eco-printing & Plant dyeing\,\n\n🌿Registration: While most other Fibershed workshops use a need-based scholarship application fee structure\, this workshop series uses a self-reporting sliding-scale approach (based on the Green Bottle model)\, which was personally designed by the teacher and is used in all of her educational offerings. \nMaximum 10 students per workshop\, so reserve your child’s spot via our May 30th Evenbrite listing  (fees are included in the ticket cost to maximize access for all). \nTravel / Childcare Assistance: Fibershed offers limited assistance for travel and/or childcare. If you would not otherwise be able to attend a workshop due to transportation challenges or limited resources as a parent\, please apply for our Accessibility Assistance application. \nQuestions?: Email LearningCenter@fibershed.org.
