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:Earth and Sky: Abstraction with indigo and tannin dyes with Judi Pettite
DESCRIPTION:Explore the beauty and variety of blue and brown shades on your natural fibers \nJoin Judi Pettite onsite at the Fibershed Learning Center near Point Reyes Station\, where we’ll explore techniques using dips and resists to create gorgeous abstract maps of local color on our textiles and yarn. We’ll have two large indigo vats and two tannin dye baths. \nBring 16-32 ounces of scoured natural fibers or fabric to use in the class. After everyone has dyed their initial round of 16 ounces\, dyeing another 16 ounces of fiber will be possible. \nStudents should bring their own lunch\, snacks\, and beverages (water bottle/travel mug)\, as well as an apron\, notebook\, and camera. \nEnroll here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/329415950977 \nJudi Pettite is an artist\, researcher and educator currently living in Southern California.
