Workshop Description: Developing Color Ideas from Visual Inspiration Images

A weaver’s voice comes through the use of color, pattern and texture. But where do we get our color inspiration? We see beautiful paintings, landscapes or photographs and respond viscerally to the color combinations, but we may be challenged in applying the colors effectively to handwoven cloth or other fiber arts. Woven designers often work from an existing color palette provided by a Trend Forecast service. They have to use those colors to develop a new line of fabrics. Where do they start? 

This presentation will walk you through identifying colors in a visual reference image, understanding their qualities and relationships to other colors, and offer ways to use them effectively with different weave structures and yarns.
