A clothing exhibit that combines sustainability, longevity and design opens at the Buddha Barn outside Point Reyes Station on Thursday, the result of a year-long challenge to create locally crafted garments that can last generations. The challenge was set by Fibershed, a nonprofit that promotes a green regional fiber system through education, workshops, events and a membership-based network of farmers, ranchers, designers, sewers, weavers, knitters, felters, spinners, mill owners and natural dyers. The exhibit, titled “Borrowed from the soil,” features 15 artists who utilized regionally grown and manufactured materials and 100 percent natural fibers and dyes. Most of the designers have been working on their projects since March 2023, but Point Reyes Station resident Allison Reilly, a textile and fashion designer, was asked to join in the final leg of the project. She spent over 60 hours in the last two weeks on a a black-and-white checkered wool jacket. “Two weeks was kind of insane,” said Ms. Reilly, who shepherds dozens of sheep at Black Mountain Ranch. “I’ve made it pretty hard on myself, but it was kind of a fun challenge for me personally.” Other artists include Carol Lee Shanks and Carol Miltimore from Berkeley, Sebastopol’s Flore Costumé, San Rafael’s Alexandria Vasquez and more. The exhibit will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday through Monday, except on Sunday, when the gallery will open at noon with the artists in attendance. $10 tickets are available at www.eventbrite.com and at the door, with all proceeds going toward Fibershed programs.
