Instructor Bio:
Sandy Fisher
 has been a professional weaver for over 40 years working with natural fibers, her favorite being linen. In 2012 the importance of producing textiles on a local level was becoming a national movement. Missing in the local textile production in Northern California was linen. Sandy and other community members in Chico began to grow then harvest fiber flax for linen. In 2017 her husband 
Durl Van Alstyne
 joined the local linen movement when they acquired a small farm to expand their vision. The farm gave them the opportunity to grow fiber flax on a larger scale while practicing Regenerative Agriculture. Harvesting on a larger scale required a need to create small scale mechanical flax processing tools to accommodate their growth. Chico Flax was then created which is now a non profit called 
Golden State Linen
 to education and encourage flax to linen as a viable industry here in the north state.
