COMING SOON – Workshop – Play With Color!, Jan 23, 2027

Build color confidence no matter what your favorite fiber technique. We start with the basics of color and discuss inspiration from color forecasts, and online color tools. They can help stretch the imagination of anyone who is color challenged. PowerPoint slides will guide a series of fun hands-on exercises to create easy color references using yarn and photos. Lots of inspiration!

Requirements:
• Notebook and pen
• 4x 6 blank white index cards (about two dozen)
• Scotch tape
• Scissors
• Don’t forget to bring a camera!
• A couple of interesting photos, calendar shots or other inspirational images. These may be digital.
• Thrums. Lots of them, in all shades and textures. Have available small “couple of yard” amounts of whatever is accessible, leftover warp ends, thrums, cuts from existing cones or balls of yarn. Always keep a bag handy for play. Thrums and ends can be wound onto narrow drinking straws for tidy storage.

Materials Fee: None

Maximum: 15
