Class: Colour Theory for Crafters
Choosing colours to fit your projects, match each other, and mesh with your existing style and wardrobe (or someone else's!) is a challenge for many crafters. In this class, we'll work on demystifying the process using basic colour theory. We'll talk about the foundations of colour theory, discussing complementary and analogous colours, contrast, saturation, and how our perceptions of colour can shift in different contexts. Then, we'll apply some colour theory to common experiences of working with fibre. We'll discuss accounting for texture and fabric structure, how to choose patterns that will achieve good results with particular colours (for instance, how to highlight a colour you want to showcase in your project, or downplay a busy colour), and how to find inspiration and build colour palettes for our projects from our wardrobes and the world around us.
- Skill Level: All levels welcome!
- Materials Required: No materials are required for this class. Participants are welcome to bring in yarn that poses colour challenges or questions for discussion during the class.
