SUMMARY:Print Making on Fabric at slowfiber
DESCRIPTION:Print Making on Fabric: Family & Historic Stitches as a Printing Plate with Evelyn Klein Using Handmade Items to Print as part of The Stitch as Self Portrait Series\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n\n\nThis course is open to all levels-you must be at least 16 years old to participate \nMost of us have textile memoirs. Heritage treasures stored away\, which we are not ready to let go of and would love to incorporate in our current and personal work but don’t know how\, will be used. Join us in this small group experience\, repurposing your found memorabilia of hand made doilies\, lace\, crochet\, embroidered handkerchiefs\, tablecloths\, quilt squares\, pajama pockets- what-ever\, into a print surface. \nIn this self-portrait/ contemplative and intuitive approach to needle and thread\, we will bring back our familial memories of an almost lost art (which is making a comeback) \nReinventing and bringing back to life your grandmother’s/ aunt’s/ mother’s stunning work\, we are gathered together stitching and sharing family stories\, we give birth to a new process fusing the old with the new. You will use inks\, to turn your memorabilia to a printing surface so be sure you are ready to change these once useful items into something else. You will be addressing imagery as well: how to access your archetypal imagery\, which resides in every one of us\, but is hidden. We will use visual tools to silence the brain while trying to tap into our subconscious and intuitive nature. \nThe end result is a series of hand-printed fabrics where color and texture is specific to only your “family” items-made-print-plate. The special memories you hold for your loved ones are immortalized in the cloth you print. They then can be used in any way you chose to stitch\, collage or simply cherish. You explore color\, texture line and space obviously but also the element of family and self in this extraordinary textile printing opportunity. \nThe Stitch as Self Portrait Series \nWhere? \nAlways meeting in person in the slowfiber classroom (outside if necessary) on the first Friday of the month\, beginning in the morning before the weekend’s round of obligations begin. 9-12 formally\, then you might take a lunch break at one of the many awesome eateries in downtown Monterey then return to use the slowfiber classroom to work in an informal way\, for the rest of the day if you please. \nWhy? \nCommunity stitching is as old as time whether to conserve candle light or stave off loneliness and the shared time at the needle heals us. Fine artists are tuned to see nuance and to look inward. Combined\, these two elements can be an alchemical masterpiece of experience. This is not a literal interpretation of the act of making a Self Portrait but an opportunity to explore the self ( hence the title ) through stitching and cloth with others. A safe place for guided self examination- and a check- in to who we are at this place and time. We will recover from Covid’s constraints as a community eventually but for now we dig in deeper\, changed as a result of our collective experience. Needle\, thread and heart are the focus in this series. A time for you (and maybe a friend) to work quietly and contemplatively with a practicing artist\, about you. \nWhat will we be doing?: \nThis hand work (no machines) is not an outcome based opportunity but a mindful\, slowing of expectations combined with digging deeper inwardly to locate the hidden gems which make each of us special and creatively unique. Needle\, thread cloth and heart are the focus. A time for you (and hopefully friends) to work quietly and contemplatively with artist who’s lens is honed to seek greater meaning in the work. \nYou provide: \nParticipants will bring their ancestry found objects to create the self-portrait “plate”\, which will be inked by rolling ink with a soft speedball brayer and water washable etching ink\, onto the plate.  Choose items with a firm and raised textured surface\, they work best! \n·      Fabrics \n·      Lace \n·      Found objects (family treasures – crochet doilies\, lace\, etc.) just one or two \nSupplies included \n·      9×9” hard surface (plate) to work on \n·      9×9” fabric to print on \n·      Speedball soft brayers \n·      Cranfield etching inks (water washable cleanup) \n·      Baren\, wooden spoon\, and other tools for burnishing image to fabric \n·      Wax paper \n·      Wipes \n·      Carbon paper \n·      Tracing paper \n·      Scissors \n·      Fusing material (mistyfuse) \n·      Iron \n·      Hair dryer \n·      Acrylic mat medium \n·      Foam brushes \nBio: \nEvelyn Klein \nBorn in Chile\, Evelyn moved to Montreal in 1970\, where she received her BFA in art education at Concordia University. She worked with leading collective printmaking studios and master printers producing exclusive limited editions. During that time she showed her work nationally and internationally. Her work can be seen in many public and private collections. \nAfter 27 years Evelyn moved to California where she established Equinox Press\, the first printmaking studio in Carmel\, California\, where she offers workshops\, experimental work and creative exchanges in a non-toxic environment. She also teaches printmaking at Monterey Peninsula College for the last 17 years\, and gives workshops at various art centers as well. \nResearch and experimentation have been her passion. With the latest technologies\, she is busy working with new products and processes to help break boundaries and advance artistic explorations. \nShe started teaching online at the College and her studio since Covid19. \nYou will be asked to mask and vaccinated with booster to participate (until further notice). We max out at 8 \npeople per session. \nIf you need to cancel we understand-72 hours notice is required. NO-SHOWS and cancellations inside of 72 hours are charged 100%. Please be sure of your purchase. You agree to this policy with your payment.

SUMMARY:Making a Coiled Straw Basket with Charlie Kennard
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the materials\, techniques and traditions of coiled straw basketry \nWe will use grasses or rush as the foundation for the beginning of a bowl-shaped basket suitable for holding fruit or for dough-rising. As binder\, we will use split peeled willow. Participants with strong hands and who wish to start a skep (beehive) will have the option of using a roadside grass and binding cane. \nBeginning and experienced weavers are welcome. We will work with materials that can be gathered or grown in our area; they are not available in stores. The purpose of the workshop is to learn about the materials\, techniques and traditions\, rather than to necessarily complete a basket in class. \nThe class is limited to 14 students\, and will take place at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station\, CA. (Address provided upon registration.) Weather permitting\, we will be sitting outdoors in a shaded area. (You are welcome to bring an outdoor folding chair or cushion\, otherwise outdoor seating is on wooden stools.) In the case of rain\, we will be in the garage classroom\, which has plenty of ventilation and wooden folding chairs. \nParticipants should bring large scissors\, a pocket knife\, and a small water bowl (a 9-inch cake pan is ideal); plus any personal snacks\, lunch and beverages. Lunch is not included. \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/251489912097 \nImportant note: Due to the ongoing pandemic\, masks are required in indoor spaces for all participants\, and we will maintain appropriate physical distance during the class. If conditions change and it becomes necessary to cancel because of the pandemic\, your tuition and fees will be refunded. \n\nFibershed Scholarship Program\nFibershed is offering two scholarships to most workshops; one scholarship if it’s a small class. If you would not otherwise be able to attend\, and would like to be considered as a scholarship recipient\, please answer a few brief questions on this Google Form. Responses will be reviewed by Learning Center staff and kept strictly confidential. \n\nCharlie Kennard of San Anselmo is a long-time basket weaver and student of California Indian and other traditional basketry techniques. He has taught for the Point Reyes Field Institute\, East Bay Regional Parks Botanic Garden\, the Laguna Center in Santa Rosa and in many schools and at teacher trainings. Tule boats made in his workshops can be seen at the Bay Model in Sausalito\, Lake County Museum\, and another is in the collection of the Oakland Museum. You can also visit a basketry plant garden Charlie has created at the Marin Art and Garden Center in Ross. Charlie is active in native habitat restoration in Marin\, managing several projects for Friends of Corte Madera Creek Watershed. \nPhotos in collage at top of page: left and top right\, courtesy of Charlie Kennard; bottom right\, by Paige Green

SUMMARY:Meditation Hand-Work & The Elements & Principles of Design at slowfiber
DESCRIPTION:Meditation Hand-Work & The Elements & Principles of Design-Slow Stitching Becomes an Art Practice for Self Care\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n\n\nMonthly Schedule: \n\nMay 26: Patterns & Shapes\nJune 24: Compliments & Line\nJuly 29: Monochrome & Harmony\nAugust 29: Form\, 3-D & Space\nSeptember 30: Texture & Repetition\nOctober 28: Balance & Color\nNovember 25: Contrast & Value\nDecember 30: Unity and Variety\n\nStitching as Meditation. Hmmm… well\, self-care is hot on the tongues of those who know best. I happen to know that incremental decision-making processes have a calming effect and then the language of stitching can come with the labels like relaxing and meditative. I include words like repetitive\, unifying\, balancing\, rhythmic. Well guess what? These words are also part of our universal design and art-language. I am crazy about how they speak to each other in my own slow-stitching practice. I believe there is a convergence here worth exploring together. \nWith this monthly gathering\, our work is not outcome-based. We will however use the elements and principles of design as meditation and design jumping-off points. Line\, Shape\, Color\, Form\, Space\, Texture\, Balance\, Rhythm\, Repetition\, Harmony\, Contrast\, and Unity. These are powerful words in design and in daily living. I believe we run the risk of going in to our weekend feeling refreshed and centered. I will encourage you to continue the process at home as well. \nYou will be provided with everything you need including a curated bundle of materials to work with which supports the element and/or principle of design for that evening. We will be working together but independently in the slowfiber classroom. Needles and threads are also provided. Simply bring yourself and perhaps a snack to share. I will have bottomless tea available. This is a non-judgmental and supportive environment and practice. I recommend you be able to stitch and thread a needle well. That is all. If you participate in all eight monthly offerings the finished outcome is enough to build a prayer flag-I am happy to do that with you as a reminder of your self care practice. \nThere is no refund for these events if you need to cancel. Please plan accordingly\, you are however welcome to give your spot away to a friend. \nI recommend- Slow Stitch by Claire Wellesley Smith\, a much-needed guide to adopting a less-is-more approach\, valuing quality over quantity\, and bringing a meaningful and thoughtful approach to textile practice. We will look at stitching thru the filter of fine art with this book. \nClaire Wellesley-Smith introduces a range of ways in which you can slow your textile work down\, including: \n\nUsing simple techniques inspired by traditional practice (including hand-stitch rhythms)\nReusing and re-inventing materials (reuse even old textile projects)\nLimiting your equipment\nMending revisited (practical and decorative techniques)\nProject ideas and resources that help towards making a more sustainable textile practice
