SUMMARY:Natural Palettes of Seasonal Color in West Marin with Sasha Duerr
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin Sasha onsite at the Fibershed Learning Center in Point Reyes Station for a day of exploring fall color and the natural palettes of seasonal color in Northern California. We will gather a variety of onsite ingredients\, then make and use natural dye baths with those ingredients and others. Together we will create a local fall dye palette from a curated selection of gathered ingredients\, including weeds and food and flora waste. Explore the nuances and beauty of color terroir\, and create an array of take-home\, naturally dyed textiles\, saturated in the seasonal tones of West Marin. \nFor full details and the registration link\, please click here.  \n\nSasha Duerr is an artist\, designer\, and educator who works with plant-based color and natural palettes. Sasha centers her practice and research on the collaborative color potential of weeds\, food and floral waste\, and local and seasonal ingredients. Teaching for over a decade at California College of Arts with a joint appointment in Textiles and Fine Arts\, Sasha lectures\, consults\, and widely designs curriculum and courses in the intersection of natural color\, slow food\, slow fashion\, and social practice. In 2007\, Sasha founded Permacouture Institute to encourage the exploration of regenerative design practices for fashion and textiles. From “Dinners to Dye For” to “Weeding Your Wardrobe” and “Seasonal Color Wheels” her extensive work with plant-based color palettes has been featured in the New York Times\, American Craft Magazine\, Domino\, Elle Decor UK\, Selvedge\, and The Huffington Post. \n  \nSasha is the author of The Handbook of Natural Plant Dyes (Timber Press/Workman 2011)\, Natural Color (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/530292/natural-color-by-sasha-duerr/9781607749363/) (Watson-Guptill/Ten Speed Press 2016)\, and Natural Palettes (https://papress.com/products/natural-palettes-inspiration-from-plant-based-color) (Princeton Architectural Press 2020).

SUMMARY:Botany for Beginners with Ayesha Ercelawn
DESCRIPTION:Join Ayesha for a morning to learn about the basics of botany at the Fibershed Learning Center in Point Reyes Station. \nDuring this hands-on class\, you will improve your observation skills and learn to look for some of the key characteristics that botanists use to identify plants. Fall season classes will focus on leaves\, bark\, seed structures\, and stem arrangements. We will touch on plant families and discuss the natural history and ecology of some of the plants we see. Our last hour will be focused on how to use the tools of nature journaling (simple sketching and/or writing) to deepen our plant observation skills.  \nClass will take place outdoors in the beautiful gardens at the Fibershed Learning Center in Point Reyes Station . It will include a variety of hands-on activities\, with a focus on having fun and connecting to the plants around us! \nPlease be prepared for some walking\, bending\, and kneeling.  \nStudents should bring layers\, comfortable shoes\, a hat\, sunscreen\, water and a camera/phone. You are welcome to bring a packed lunch to eat in the gardens afterwards. \nA mask is required indoors.  \nAyesha Ercelawn is a Marin-based naturalist\, gardener\, and environmental educator\, who has been exploring\, and teaching and journaling about the natural world of the Bay Area for 20 plus years. Ecology and ethnobotany classes during her Master’s at Yale School of the Environment\, inspired her on her journey – a lifelong quest to deepen her understanding of the natural world around her – its fascinating ecology\, as well as how people use plants for healing\, dyes\, fiber\, basketry\, and\, of course\, food.  \nAyesha has been fortunate over the years to keep learning from teachers at Fibershed\, Point Reyes Field Seminars\, Gathering Thyme\, Marin County Parks\, Friends of the Regional Parks Botanic Garden\, California Academy of Sciences\, and the John Muir Laws Educator group\, as well as the many plants and animals along the way. Her teaching style is light-hearted\, with a focus on joy\, curiosity\, and connection to the natural world.
