There Must Be 50 Ways To Weave Your Color

March 26,27,28 2010 - with Ruby Leslie

"There Must be 50 Ways to Weave your Color" uses readily available, commercially dyed yarns which produce results that often appear hand painted or custom dyed.  This workshop combines lecture, discussion, and hands-on weaving in a round-robin format.  "50 Ways" is appropriate for weavers from beginners (who can dress a loom and read a draft) to advanced levels, because working with color is primarily a design issue.  Weavers spend a lot of time mastering the basics of their craft and their equipment, yet often have little opportunity to immerse themselves in studio arts design coursework or conceptual thinking.  This workshop attempts to bridge the gap and give weavers the tools they need to approach designing with confidence while gaining a broader understanding of how to work with color, without having to master the art of color theory. 

Mark your calendars.
