The moment she embarked on her first project\, she realized that this is what she was made for. \nShe became involved with a few of the local yarn shops and wandered off to live on a farm for a few months where she learned about fiber processing\, spinning\, and self-sustainability. Upon her return to Sonoma County\, she began the Master’s Hand Knitting Program through TKGA\, and resumed teaching knitting classes at her local yarn shop. By 2018\, her dreams of having a community space where there was support\, sharing of knowledge and fiber art tools and equipment\, developed into the opening of Fiber Circle Studio\, now located in downtown Petaluma. \nShe lives in Petaluma and spends her time fiber-making\, teaching knitting\, spinning and dyeing\, and mothering her awesome sons\, Leland + Dominic! \nWebsite: fibercirclestudio.com\nInstagram: @fibercirclestudio \n\nDYEING: Heidi Iverson is the founder of Honey Folk\, her clothing design studio in western Sonoma County\, CA\, where she handcrafts clothing using high quality natural materials. Heidi also devotes time to knitting with local yarns and natural dyeing with plants and flowers that she hand gathers or cultivates. Honey Folk continues to evolve with Heidi\, and refining her aesthetic\, artistic process and philosophy is a continuous journey. She’s founding member of Fibershed\, and its philosophy has been an influence on her aesthetic and her brand ethic.

SUMMARY:The Colonial Climate Crisis: Sustainable Fashion Edition
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special online lecture with Dominique Drakeford!\nCalling our current socio-ecological crisis “global warming” or “climate change” is insufficient. We are experiencing a Colonial Climate Crisis. This term\, coined by our colleague Dominique Drakeford\, is an avenue to discuss urgent issues within the sustainability movement. \nJoin us on April 3 for a special online lecture by Dominique to explore the intersections of sustainability\, colonization\, the climate crisis\, and fashion systems. This special introductory lecture is a prerequisite to learning about the root issues of unsustainability and the ecosystem that keeps that engine well-oiled and active. \nLanguage is a foundational pillar in how we design equitable systems\, planting the seed that nurtures an intolerance for toxic Western European discourse on sustainability and environmentalism — especially in one of the most complex\, impressionable\, and profitable industries: FASHION. It’s time to decolonize the sustainability and fashion lexicon from a cultural vantage point. \nDominique Drakeford is a mother\, non-traditional educator\, writer\, independent researcher\, and creative storyteller that has been a leader in reimagining sustainability for the past 15+ years | Co-founder Sustainable Brooklyn. Learn more about her here.

SUMMARY:Eco Printing with Cory Gunter Brown of Earth My Body
DESCRIPTION:…a sacred\, somatic\, and sensuous practice \nJoin us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station\, CA\, for a workshop taught by Cory Gunter Brown that is as much about crafting beautiful textiles as it is about forming deep relationships with the land\, seasons\, and life cycles of the materials we work with. \nThis introduction to Eco Printing is formed with intention\, to bring us back to wonder and reverence\, interweaving in relationship with dye plants\, fiber animals\, and the lands they grow from. This practice is an open door inviting us into a deeper understanding of the ways in which this earth nourishes and cares for us and we may do the same in turn. \nWe’ll work with Fibershed Climate Beneficial wool\, plus silks\, several different wild gathered plants (including eucalyptus)\, and optional iron mordant\, to make living breathing textiles in an expressive and ethical way. You’ll learn how some plants interact differently with different textiles\, how to find out if a plant will work for eco printing\, and when to work with iron mordant. \nYou’ll finish class with a Climate Beneficial wool piece that can be used as a wall hanging\, table runner\, or altar cloth and a few pure silk pieces that can be used in a variety of ways as well. \nCory Gunter Brown has been practicing and teaching Eco Printing for thirteen years. She learned from her teacher India Flint\, one of the fairy godmothers of this magical practice\, and from the plants and fibers themselves. \nThe workshop runs from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday\, and 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday. Limited to 10 students. \nEnroll here: eventbrite.com/e/516975275967 \nPlease Bring: \n\nSun hat\, warm layers\nPersonal lunch\, snacks and beverages (various teas will be provided)\nPruning shears\, if you have them\, or sturdy scissors\nSitting cushion / camp chair\nYou’re welcome to bring any plants you might want to try\, and I encourage any of the ones listed here if you have them around: fresh avocado pits\, eucalyptus leaves/bark (windfall)\, rose leaves\, oak leaves (not coast live oak)\, Japanese maple/maple leaves\, black walnut leaves\, onion skins\, dry curly dock seed (on stems)\, coreopsis flowers\, purple plum leaves\, manzanita leaves/bark (windfall)\, sweetgum leaves\, geranium leaves\, blackberry leaves\n\n\nCANCELLATION POLICY: Refunds (minus Eventbrite fees) available up to 30 before the event. If you cancel after 30 days before the event\, we are unable to provide refunds unless we can fill your space from the waitlist. If someone who is waitlisted purchases your space\, we will refund your ticket\, minus the Eventbrite fees. Otherwise there will be no refunds. You are also welcome to transfer your ticket to someone who wishes to purchase it directly from you. \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.

Responses will be reviewed by Learning Center staff and kept strictly confidential. \n\nCory Gunter Brown is an artisan and empath who has practiced the entwined arts of sacred adornment and the handmade her whole life. She was born and raised in East Oakland and comes from a radical and creative family of dancers\, machinists\, artists\, and activists. She’s learned the most powerful and beautiful truths in her life by listening to the voice of the Earth\, the voices of Indigenous Peoples present and past\, and her own inner voice. \nThrough a decolonial lens\, her work with natural dyes\, and her relationship with the living Earth\, she’s come to understand that for every toxic\, abusive reality happening on this Earth\, there is another way that is far more compassionate\, elegant\, and balanced within the cycle of life. She’s learned that our bodies are an extension of the Earth and the Earth is an extension of our bodies\, and her choices in life now flow from that knowing. \nCory spent ten years co-creating The Moon\, an Oakland based feminine clothing line made by local hands with natural fibers and natural dyes. She is now teaching natural dye workshops to adults and children\, making naturally dyed textiles\, plant infused body oils\, and very tiny baskets from invasive plants. Working with plants has changed her life. \nInstagram: @_.earth.my.body._ \nWebsite: earthmybody.com \n \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 natural fiber garments and accessories.

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.

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. If you cancel after 30 days before the event\, we are unable to provide refunds unless we can fill your space from the waitlist. If someone who is waitlisted purchases your space\, we will refund your ticket\, minus the Eventbrite fees. Otherwise there will be no refunds.

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.
