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:Indigo Extraction Process—from leaf to pigment with Judi Pettite
DESCRIPTION:A step-by-step participatory workshop for artists and small- to medium-scale indigo growers \nWondering how to convert the leaves of Japanese indigo (Persicaria tinctoria) into blue pigment? Join Judi Pettite onsite at the Fibershed Learning Center in Point Reyes Station for a day of indigo extraction — from a tour of the Fibershed pigment garden\, to a demonstration of harvesting the last indigo of the season\, then extracting the pigment from the leaves onsite using a passive fermentation process. Our focus will be on small batch extraction for home gardeners\, dyers and artisans. Dried indigo pigment can be stored for later use in a dye vat or for art mediums like paints\, inks and pastels. \nStudents should bring their own lunch\, snacks\, and beverages (water bottle/travel mug)\, as well as an apron\, notebook\, and camera. Since there will be time outdoors in the garden\, be sure to wear appropriate footwear and clothing. \nEnroll here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/329405750467 \nJudi Pettite is an artist\, researcher and educator currently living in Southern California. In the field\, studio or on the road\, she is interested in what motivates people to work with natural pigments\, how they forage or cultivate these materials and how this creativity is expressed. Her artwork is intertwined with the exploration of natural mediums and is inspired by many art forms\, including painting\, drawing\, performance and installation. \nJudi started the BioHue project in 2006 to create plant-based pigments for use in her art practice. The project moved her beyond the studio and into the outdoors she loves. Through her workshops and products\, Judi hopes to support and develop an interest in sustainable colors for artists. \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\nPhotos above of Judi Pettite in Fibershed’s pigment garden and indigo extraction in progress by Paige Green

SUMMARY:Visible Mending with Katrina Rodabaugh
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is a part of Fibershed’s 2022 Mending Challenge Series. (Haven’t signed up for our challenge? Signup here!)\nMending is a wonderful way to practice hand-stitching and simultaneously participate in Slow Fashion. Simple stitches transform torn or distressed garments\, homewares\, and textiles through thoughtful repairs. Visible mending is a hand-stitching technique that inspires beautiful contemporary repairs. Katrina will lead the group in a discussion of modern mending and darning applications in visible mending and slow fashion. The class will consider the creative opportunity in repair. All mending will focus on hand-stitching\, particularly woven fabrics. \nThis workshop will lead participants through an overview of basic stitches and repair techniques before turning to a garment that needs mending. Katrina will discuss how best to repair garments considering fabric\, thread\, color\, utility\, and more. Students will leave the workshop with various resources\, a mended garment (in-progress)\, and a printable PDF. Basic sewing and stitching skills are required. Please note: We will focus on woven fabrics like denim\, linen\, cotton\, silk\, hemp\, etc. We will not cover mending stretchy fabrics like leggings. We will discuss basic darning on knits like sweaters\, socks\, hats\, etc. Though most of the class will focus on mending woven fabrics like denim. \nWhen: Thursday\, September 29\, 10a PDT/ 1p ET \nLength: 2 hours \nWhere: Zoom \nCost: Sliding Scale\, suggested donation of $50-95 \nMax. Number of Participants: 20 \nRegister HERE! \nItems needed: \n\nGarment or textile to mend with patches of the same fiber and weight—midweight denim is best patched with a midweight denim patch\, light linen is best patched with light linen patches\, etc.\nScrap fabric for stitch sampler (At least 7” square in denim or midweight cotton). This is just a sampler\, it can be any fabric you already own\, midweight is best.\nThread – should\, ideally\, match the weight and fiber of the garment you are mending. Denim is best mended with cotton thread or embroidery floss—though I prefer 100% cotton Sashiko thread for mending midweight denim. Silk can be mended with silk thread and a silk patch; linen with linen patches and cotton or linen thread\, etc.\nNeedle\nFabric scissors\nFabric pencil\nRuler\nStraight pins\, safety pins\nOptional: Iron\, ironing board\, thimble\, pinking shears; if you want to practice basic darning also bring a knit garment\, yarn\, and a darning needle.\nOptional: You might consider purchasing one of my Mending Tool Kits particularly for mending denim. Also\, my books\, Mending Matters (2018)\, or Make Thrift Mend (2021)\, would be great companions to this online course.\n\nVisible Mending is an online course that will be taught live on Zoom. It will also be recorded to accommodate various time zones and the recording will be available to all registered students for 30days following the live class. The class will include a downloadable PDF that summarizes what we cover in class and supports you in creating a mended wardrobe. The class will be taught by Katrina Rodabaugh and joined by a teaching assistant to help navigate the digital classroom. Via email\, you will receive a link to the Zoom classroom. After the class\, you will receive a link to the class recording\, the class PDF\, and more. \nPlease note: There are NO REFUNDS for this class due to the digital nature. Thank you so much for understanding. \nRegister HERE! \n\n\n\nMore About Katrina Rodabaugh: \nKatrina Rodabaugh is an artist and author working across disciplines to explore environmental and social issues through craft techniques.

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
