August: Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr: The Role of Color in Your Quilts

The goal of this workshop is not to leave with a finished project but rather with new ways of understanding and using color in your work. We will begin with a brief slideshow and discussion of color in art, sculpture, architecture, gardens, and quilts for inspiration and to better understand the role of color in design.

Using a series of fun individual and group "color explorations" you will develop the analytical tools needed to use color with confidence. We hope that each of you will leave the workshop with a deeper understanding of the role of color in your quilts and with a renewed excitement about making quilts.

Student supplies needed: sewing machine, rotary cutting equipment, a wide assortment of cotton quilting fabric (bring fabrics you love to work with as well as others that have proved challenging to work with. We'll only be using small pieces so scraps are good as well), extension cord, thread, seam ripper, notebook or journal, a glue stick and any supplies you like to have handy when quilting.
Facility equipment needed: Slide screen for morning slidesho (we will bring a computer and digital projector), tables and chairs for cutting and sewing.

Skill level: Beginner to advanced
