NEW Color Class via TATTER!

The TATTER Textile Library has just announced the Color Series, a virtual online event celebrating and exploring aspects of color! Not only am I excited (because - COLOR!) but I'm also contributing to the series with a color lecture and workshop.

The Color Series is presented with an emphasis on textiles, but all of the lessons, concepts, and workshops apply to anyone who creates with color.

I'll be presenting a Color Basics lecture and demo to kick-off the series, a kind of short overview of how humans have tried to understand color in the past, how that has influenced our current thoughts on color, and concrete ways you can approach color in your own way.

Artist Julia Norton offers "Natural Pigments in the Past, Present and Future," focusing on the histories and legacies of color materials. Visit her @juliapnorton_studio IG feed to see her thoughtful, colorful, natural, and collected material assemblages.

Artist Lisa Solomon offers a "Personal Color Wheel Workshop" to explore color thoughtfully, creating your own version of a color wheel. Visit her IG profile to see her "preoccupation" with color.

I am also offering "Color Transparency Quilting," which will be an exploration into the many facets of color, such as hue and value, and how these aspects can be used to create the illusion of transparency in patchwork quilting.

If you aren't familiar with the TATTER Textile Library, the organization is pledged to create a home to champion textiles while building community. Not only is TATTER a tangible, brick-and-mortar home for a growing library of over 6,000 books, journals, exhibition catalogs, and objects dedicated to the study and celebration of human beings' long history with textiles. TATTER hosts all manner of AMAZING talks, lectures, classes, and workshops, visit the TATTER Events page hear to see for yourself.
