Preview of "Fibershed Sampler", a collection of live sketches, notes, and scans from a 6-week workshop hosted by Melanie Camman at EartHand Glenears in Vancouver.
 

The zine captures the exploration of the many plants that grow in Trillium, including milkweed, nettle, dogbane, fireweed, daylily, and more. With techniques learned included fibre removal from stalks, ropemaking, multi-strand braids, small off-loom weaving, and coil basketry. The creations, whether small woven coaster-size samplers, petite woven pouches, or other small objects, become part of a fibre library, aiding in future project planning. These explorations are sure to change the way fibre plants are seen and related to.
