Color Fundamentals for Spinners and
Weavers: Saturday March 16, 12:30 pm to
4:30 pm
Presenter: Rosalie
Williams
Location: Askew’s
Foods Community Room, 2701-11 Ave NE, Salmon Arm (Ask at Customer Service for
directions to the room upstairs.) Complimentary coffee will be provided by
Askew’s. You may purchase a snack or sandwich to munch on during the
afternoon.
During this hands-on 4 hour workshop, you will
briefly consider the psychology of color, but you ‘ll mostly play with colored
yarns and threads while taking the mystery out of color theory. Referring to a
Color Wheel, you ‘ll gain familiarity with color harmonies such as
monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split complementary, triadic, and other
color schemes. You’ll learn the significance of intensity and value in making
pleasing color combinations. You’ll find sources of inspiration that will help
you get out of the color “rut” that you may find yourself in. You’ll gain the
confidence to try new color combinations when you discover a
historically proven “formula”. By the
end of the session, you’ll have a collection of color wrappings that you can use
in future yarn production, felting and weaving.
Supplies list: many
various colors of thrums/yarns in a size that wraps
around a ruler not fewer than 15 times per inch – ie not too thick. (This is to

ring binder, your favorite colorful magazine with lots of pictures for cutting
up.
