You will learn strategies for designing and mixing cohesive color
schemes, including how to choose a level of saturation within your
comfort zone. You will learn the secret to making successful
“skinny†stripe blends that will be used to make nine different
laminated textile patterns including the popular Log Cabin Quilt
design, Spirals, Seminole Patchwork, Bargello and a variation of a Nine
Patch quilting design. In addition to having fun, you will leave with
a series of wearable color samples/brooches. You will increase your
awareness of how appropriate color choices and contrasts can add impact
to your work.
See how the three properties of color: value, hue and saturation dazzle and change when proportion, juxtaposition and surface are consciously adjusted. Ask questions, be ready to laugh and increase your color confidence. About LindlyLindly Haunani has over eighteen years of experience as a polymer clay workshop leader.
