Color Theory for Crafters

Crafting = Color  It’s really that simple.  No matter the craft, color is what the eye first sees and the brain immediately evokes an emotion. And yet color is the one thing that can scare so many crafters.  This class will demonstrate the basics of color theory which will allow the crafter to accurately describe colors and their relationships in the color wheel.  Once mastered, the class will then discover the more intricate ways that color plays in different media and how the relationships learned in earlier classes will accurately guide your artistic vision. 

Learn the science behind choosing color for projects during this hands-on theory class. This class is appropriate for all levels of crafters who work with various media: fiber arts, quilting, mixed media, etc,

Date: Saturday, 20, 27 Sept., & 4 Oct. from 12:30 - 2.
