SUMMARY:Plant\, Dye\, Sew!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 4 Day Workshop on how to set up and plant a full dye garden. \nDate\nJune 2nd-June 5th\, 2025 \n10 AM – 4 PM \nLocation\n459 South Main Street \nCedarville\,California \nAbout the Event\nIn this fun filled\, comprehensive class\, we will learn how to set up and plant a full dye garden. We will cover various plants and their properties\, learn about their particular growing needs\, and then get dirty learning how to create raised beds by actually creating them. \nWe will prepare cellulose fabric for natural dyes\, create several dye pots as well as an iron indigo vat. Additionally\, you will learn how to make an iron mordant paste to create prints on fabric. We will also be making a patchwork project with naturally dyed and printed fabrics using both machine and hand stitching. \nWe will be working with tannins\, natural dyes\, modifiers\, an iron indigo vat\, and iron mordant pastes to create a wide range of colors and prints on cotton and linen fabric. You will have the opportunity to machine sew a patchwork project using naturally dyed fabrics. If you wish to explore boro type stitching and visible mending techniques to further personalize your bag\, we invite you to bring embroidery thread and needles to fit your thread. (Milliner size 5 needles\, and 8 perle cotton or sashiko thread work well). If you have favourites\, we also suggest bringing your own fabric scissors. We will have a limited number at the shop\, but we all know our own are better. \nThis workshop is designed for both the beginner as well as experienced dyer. No prior sewing experience necessary. \nTo bring: \n\nClothing/apron/towel that can get wet and dirty! We will be working in the dirt\, and with large vats of water. This is not the time to be fashion forward.\nGardening AND rubber gloves. You will need each daily.\nSunhat AND sunscreen. We are at 4300′ elevation and the sun here is strong.\nAny small gardening tools/gear you prefer using (spades/forks/knee pads).\nYour own fabric scissors\, preferred needles\, special threads…\nReusable water bottle. Any bottle is fine\, but we have zero recycling in Surprise Valley\, so we prefer you do not bring disposable plastic.\nLunch/snacks.

SUMMARY:Wild Basketry – Invasive Plant Cordage and Coiled Basketry\, with Julia Han
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to make cordage using invasive plants and create your own coiled basket\nThis workshop is part one of a two-day weekend series on invasive plant basketry. Register for both classes\, or for an individual class. \nDate\nSaturday\, June 28 \n10am – 4pm PDT \nAbout the Class\nSpend the day with instructor Julia Han at the Fibershed Learning Center learning to identify fiber plants commonly found in California\, and exploring how some of these can be foraged and transformed into beautiful and functional objects. \nWe’ll begin with a guided walk to explore a variety of native and non-native/invasive plants growing nearby\, discussing how to harvest them responsibly and prepare them for use. Back in the workshop\, you’ll learn tips on working with plant fibers and practice foundational basketry techniques including cordage-making and coiling. You’ll use these skills to create your own coiled basket using invasive plants. \nThis beginner-friendly workshop offers a hands-on introduction to natural fiber craft and working with foraged materials. Take this as a standalone workshop\, or pair it with Day 2 to deepen your skills. \nFull Weekend Description for Day 1 & 2:\nJoin us for a two-day\, hands-on experience of identifying\, foraging\, and transforming common invasive grasses and other plants into beautiful and functional objects using essential basketry techniques. After these beginner-friendly workshops\, you’ll leave with your own handmade works and the skills to continue working with foraged materials on your own. Along the way\, we’ll touch on the ecological role of invasive species and how we can make use of these abundant materials that are often overlooked. \nEach day will begin with a walk through the Fibershed property\, where we’ll observe and identify plants suitable for fiber and other uses. Along the way\, we’ll discuss ethnobotanical uses\, sustainable harvesting practices\, and what to look for in strong\, flexible materials. Back in the workshop space\, we’ll examine a variety of dried plant materials — grasses\, leafy fibers\, woody vines and branches\, barks\, and roots—and learn how each category behaves and what use it’s best suited for. \nOn Day 1 [link]\, we’ll get hands-on with invasive grasses and other foraged plants through the essential skill of cordage-making\, gaining an understanding of how different fibers behave when twisted together. We’ll then create a soft basket using the coiling technique\, where a material is wrapped and stitched around a central core\, incorporating your cordage into the design. \nOn Day 2 [link]\, we’ll build a basket using the more intricate twining technique\, using cordage as the foundational spokes and learning key tips for creating a strong structure. The workshop will feature a demo on making a small hand broom using bundled grasses or other foraged plant materials. \nSeparate registration is required for both days.\nMaximum 10 students. \nParticipants must bring:\n\nPruners or sharp scissors\, for cutting plant fibers\nTowel (one that can get messy)\nAny personal snacks\, lunch\, and beverages. Coffee and tea will be provided.\nA notebook and pen for note taking is encouraged.\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Help the Kelp: Create Natural Dye with Sea Urchins\, with Seelie Studio
DESCRIPTION:Help the kelp by dyeing silk and wool items with the overpopulation of purple urchins! Meet live urchins and learn about oceanic dyes \nDate\nSaturday\, July 12\, 2025 \n10am – 4pm PDT \nLocation\nFibershed Learning Center \n14000 Point Reyes – Petaluma Road Point Reyes Station\, CA 94956 \nAbout the Event\nThe Fibershed Learning Center is excited to offer Seelie Studio‘s most in-depth urchin dye workshop to date! \nFor the first time\, Margaret Seelie\, the founder of Seelie Studio\, will show you the entire urchin dye process\, beginning with how we source the urchins\, process their bodies with care\, and create the dye. You’ll have your own dye station where you’ll get to experience this unforgettable natural dye process and dye a silk pillowcase\, wool scarf\, and small silk squares. \nFor the first time\, Seelie Studio will also have live urchins in class for you to touch\, hold\, and marvel at these magnificent creatures. You’ll learn about our spikey friends with PhD student and urchin extraordinaires Maddie Armstrong. \nSea Urchins are incredible creatures. However\, due to human impact\, their populations have gone unchecked\, and they have consumed 95% of the kelp forests in California. In efforts to help the kelp and honor these magnificent animals\, we will create beautifully dyed items using urchins from various kelp restoration projects along the West Coast. Join us at the intersection of environmental responsibility and artistic expression. \nWhat’s included: \n✴ Personal dye kit station with ingredients for a half-gallon sea urchin dye bath\n✴ One silk pillowcase with zipper (14”)\n✴ One wool scarf (8×54”)\n✴ Two silk squares\n✴ One urchin shell (also known as a test)\n✴ (optional) You are welcome to bring any silk or wool items from home\, like yarn\, that you wish to dye. If there is enough dye left over\, you’re welcome to use it.\n✴ (optional) Bring a jar to take any leftover dye or sludge home with you to keep experimenting. \nNote: Seelie Studio will have urchin dye kit refills available for purchase! Each refill includes enough acid and urchin spine dust to create a ½ gallon dye bath on your own. You will also take home the glass jar we used to create your dye in class. \nMaximum 16 students. \nParticipants must bring: \n\nAny personal snacks\, lunch\, and beverages. Coffee and tea will be provided.\nA notebook and pen for note taking is encouraged.\nAppropriate\, studio-safe clothing and footwear\n\nRegister Now
