Embroidery Project with Arwyn Moonrise

Fibershed is a non-profit educational and research organization that develops regenerative textile systems that are based on carbon farming, regional manufacturing, and public education.We envision the emergence of an international system of regional textile communities that enliven connection and ownership of ‘soil-to-soil’ textile processes. These diverse textile cultures are designed to build soil carbon stocks on the working landscapes on which they depend, while directly enhancing the strength of regional economies. Both fiber and food systems now face a drastically changing climate, and must utilize the best of time-honored knowledge and available science for their long-term ability to thrive.

This workshop is for folks that have at least a basic knowledge of embroidery stitches and want project guidance. It’s always the most fun day of stitching!You will bring your own project and supplies, but there will also be plenty of extra cloth, thread, needles, etc. in case you need them.M﻿aximum 15 students.Please b﻿ring: <ul><li>personal embroidery project and supplies</li><li>personal snacks, lunch and beverages (a selection of teas will be served on site).

Arwyn Moonrise is an embroidery artist with a natural gift for teaching the craft in a fun and practical manner. She learned to embroider during her childhood watching her mother mend and adorn the families clothing on their organic blueberry farm in rural Maine, and reconnected with stitching later in life. Fueled by her passion for creating, recognizing the power of bespoke sacred garments, and wanting to help reduce fashion waste by giving vintage/used clothing new life, she started her custom embroidery business, Township 31 (named after the township in Maine she grew up in).Arwyn creates one-of-a-kind custom pieces for her clients as a way to create sacred adornment through the art of prayer and storytelling. Her work is executed with technical precision and intricacy. She has been teaching embroidery for the last 10 years all over the Bay Area and truly believes that EVERYONE can tell story and create beauty through stitching.
