ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Always interested in finding ways to add harmony, beauty and depth to my life and space, my journey with fiber and textiles began as a child. I adored piles of colorful yarn and fabric. I had always felt, that in some other life, I’d been someone who breathed life into these mediums. As my path wound its way, I fell in love with the nature of story and pursued Literature & Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley. After Peace Corps service in a tiny village in the Amazon Rainforest, I returned to California and spent the next decade working, starting a family, and eventually, exploring fiber arts. I learned to weave at a Cistercian monastery on the Lost Coast of California, and quickly found my life-long passion. I am nurtured, connected and aligned while weaving. And Intuitive Weaving, as I call it, has been a place of unpacking emotions; subconsciously discovering new frontiers; understanding intertwinement; and learning to be gracious, not just with the world, but with myself. My small business, ANINI Designs, now specializes in offering a variety of craft supplies — natural dyes, natural fiber dyeables, and handwoven &/or hand-dyed textiles. I enjoy creating a sustainable, eco-friendly, inspiring future of mindfully making, exploring and teaching these craft mediums to you. – Jeanine Ertl, Owner, Weaver, Natural Dyer & Educator at ANINI Designs Additional information Choose a date Sept 23, Oct 26, 1-4pm 1 review for Locally Foraged Acorn & Gall Natural Dye & Shibori Rated 5 out of 5 Christy (verified owner) – February 3, 2023 I absolutely LOVED the acorn and gall natural shibori dye class! I had been wanting to try natural dyeing for some time, but with only reading instructions and watching videos, I still felt that it would be better if I could try it on my own with someone to show and help me for my first time. Jeanine was a great instructor. She made it fun and explained everything thoroughly, so much that I feel confident I’ll be able to do some of my own dyeing at home! She showed us different patterns of shibori, and I loved the pieces I got to take home. I took this class with my mom and it was a great activity for us to learn something hands on together. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone interested in learning a new craft, or even just as a fun activity to enjoy! Add a reviewYour email address will not be published.
