SUMMARY:Making a Traditional Japanese Vat with Buaisou
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the process of how to make and maintain an indigo vat/dye\, using a traditional technique of fermenting Sukumo (composted indigo) in ash lye\, calcium hydroxide\, and wheat bran with BUAISOU staff from Tokushima\, Japan. Fermentation takes eleven days in Sonoma before the indigo dye workshops start. Full schedule of BUAISOU workshops here: https://www.sonomaculturalexchange.org/new-events \nIn addition to making indigo vats with sukumo from Japan\, there will also be vats made from locally farmed and fermented indigo by Fibershed producers Mary Pettis-Sarley of Twirl Yarn and Craig Wilkinson of Craig’s Indigo. Mary has grown and composted locally grown indigo since 2013 and learned many of her techniques from Buaisou. Craig also has grown Japanese indigo in Sonoma County since 2014. He composts the indigo using similar methods as Buaisou and helps maintain community indigo dye vats in Sonoma County. \nTo register for this class\, please sign up at the Sonoma Community Center website or please call Eric Jackson at (707) 938-4626 x1.

SUMMARY:Spelt Weaving: An Ancient Tradition
DESCRIPTION:The ancient practice of weaving stalks of grain into intricate patterns comes from a time when people’s survival depended on the grain harvest. These designs vary from country to country\, but a similar belief in the fertility of the earth underlies them all. \nWoven from the last sheaf or best cut of the harvest\, straw work/corn dollies was a decorative way to store a bundle of seed over the winter so that the Spirit of the Grain could survive and be plowed back into the soil in the Springtime. Harvest customs such as straw plaiting were thought to bring blessing and prosperity to the community and its land. \nLearn about the history of wheat weaving and how to create your own “Welsh Fan” design out of spelt stalks harvested by the Mendocino Grain Project on Ridgewood Ranch. \nSpace is limited\, pre-register early to save your spot. \nAbout the Instructor: Anna Hope has lived in giant redwood trees\, planted fruit trees with children at their schools all over California\, converted diesel buses to run on vegetable oil\, made herbal medicine\, built natural homes\, and organized zero waste at events. She is versed in both permaculture principles and diversity awareness. She strongly appreciates the wisdom of many tribal cultures but has chosen to delve into her Celtic tribal roots instead of appropriating other cultures\, at the same time seeking justice for all. \nShe will be teaching this class with her mother\, Laura West.
