Lots and Lots of Prep!

This month has been filled with preparations for future events, workshops, and lectures! This kind of busy work sometimes makes me feel like I'm spinning my wheels because I won't see the fruits of my labor for weeks, months, and sometimes more than a year.

This spring marks two solid years of teaching my one-day workshop, The Art of Seeing Color! I offer this workshop once a session at the Evanston Art Center, and I'm thankful to have students interested in the event every single session. I've updated some of the exercises presented in the event. Each time I add a new experiment to this workshop I run through it myself to test it out. I need to make sure that the students will be successful working through the exercise with the papers in the kits and in the time provided. These sketches represent closely related hues, and colors that share a relationship in hue, value, or intensity. The next Art of Seeing Color workshop will be offered this spring!

I'm super excited to be working with BERNINA on a project involving sewing techniques and tools in the coming weeks. It will be a lot of prep work, but a really fun way to work with my favorite BERNINA peeps on an amazing, creative project. I'll share more about this later.

I'm in the process of pulling together a special workshop that will be offered online this spring on the subject of learning about value, hue, and the transparency illusion in fabric.

This class will be part of a larger event celebrating color in textiles, and as soon as I can share more I will!

And last but not least, I've been working on proposing some classes on color for next year's QuiltCon event. Proposals are due this month, and I understand it takes some time to learn if proposals have been accepted. I'll share when I hear more!
