Color Indulgence Workshop with Ted Hallman

This is a not to be missed opportunity to learn from this master weaver in a relaxed atmosphere with other beginner to advanced fiber aficionados.

For fiber persons there is nothing like studying our favorite subject, COLOR, in an experiential way. In this workshop, we are fortunate to have a source of yarns to “work with” so that we can carry out our color tests, ideas and theories in yarn. What a rare indulgence!

Besides which, you are welcome to bring in some lengths of your own yarns, adding to your own personal enjoyment. Some of the areas covered include: What are we wanting to express in our color choices when we make a piece—whether woven, knitted, crocheted, collaged? What are the possibilities? How do we choose the appropriate color? Together we will begin to explore these and other ideas with color sketches in yarn. We will question color rules and color theories and see if we can discern wherein lies the magic of color.

When: May 30-31, 2012, Wednesday & Thursday, 9:30 a.m.—4:30 p.m.
Where: Westminster Presbyterian Church, Santa Fe, NM
