This enlightening workshop will enable you to explore colour, working with selected colour palettes from paintings or photographs, with inspiring guidance from Kaffe and Brandon. From source material provided to the class for inspiration, you will recreate the scheme in a tactile fabric collage, discovering how the various colours work with each other and how different tones of colours can change the overall effect. Identifying which colours draw the eye, which colours recede and which colours make the picture really sing. Participants will be submerged in exploring the relationship of colour and pattern through arranging fabrics in a variety of structures. You will create a collage with a harmony of texture and colour that can go on to become a palette for a quilt, a needlepoint, a room etc. Limited to 25 participants.
