We will look at a variety of quilts as well as analyze art, sculpture, architecture, gardens, and images of daily life for inspiration and to better understand the role of color in design. Using individual and group color explorations you will learn analytical tools needed to use color with confidence. You will leave the workshop with a deeper understanding of the role of color in your quilts and with a renewed excitement about making quilts. Participant will also begin a color portrait during the second half of the class.
Student supplies: sewing machine, rotary cutting equipment, a wide assortment of cotton quilting fabric (bring fabrics you love to work with as well as others that have proved challenging to work with), extension cord, thread, seam ripper, notebook or journal, and any supplies you like to have handy when quilting.
Skill level: Beginner to advanced
