ZOOM WORKSHOP RECORDING

Instructor: Michele Belson
Workshop Description: Come at Color Theory from a new direction. Incorporate value and the impact of the relative weights of color to add a new level to your understanding of color theory. Explore how this affects the visual impact of your weaving. We will use paper and pencil activities, yarn wrapping, and woven samples to better understand color in woven structures. This workshop is good for weavers at all levels of experience. Come and have fun playing with color in a new way.
Supplies: Colored Pencils are helpful.
Materials/Handouts Fee: none
Attendee Limit: Unlimited
Note: This workshop is offered as a VIDEO ONLY workshop for one week (Friday to Thursday) following the live Zoom presentation.
Instructor Bio: Michele Belson, weaver, stitcher, business owner, teacher, and general Lunatic, has played with bits of string and cloth for over half a century. She learned to sew sitting on her Grandmother’s lap before her feet reached the pedal on the floor. She weaves, sews, knits, knots, dyes, but more importantly, she teaches. From preschool story hour and to a beautiful group at the Long Beach (California) Senior Center, from University Graduate students to 4H Club, through articles in weaving publications, at weaving conferences across the country, and on Zoom, Michele loves nothing more than sharing her love of all things fiber. Co-owner of Lunatic Fringe Yarns, she helps design and use kits and projects to ‘teach’ while her customers aren’t even looking! (Lunatic Fringe Yarns kits are specifically built to build skills in weaving.) Her students have noted her ‘no man left behind’ style. When she isn’t helping steer Lunatic Fringe Yarns, weaving, or sewing, she enjoys cooking, spending time with family and friends, yoga, and, on rare occasions, sleeping.
