Colour & Design

Not everyone is born with an innate sense of colour & design, but, there are simple techniques and theories, that when followed will help you attain designs that are uniquely yours.

This seminar breaks down the design process into three categories: a) the architecture of the textiles, i.e. the sett and structure; b) the graphic drawing on your textile, i.e. stripes, checks etc; and c) Jane's approach to colour in handweaving.

This is a practical workshop. It explores design in a graphic sense and colour as an emotional response.

There are six samples in this workshop that illustrate either a graphic theory or a colour theory, all done with one style of yarn in one structure. 27 colours are employed to make a stunning set of samples 18" x 20" each.
