Palette Dyeing

This is a one-day demonstration workshop.  Learn the process for mixing your own three primary magic colors, the twelve colors of the color wheel, and all their combinations.  Students will be shown how to dye a single yard of any of the 67 colors, how to create a palette black, how to overdye textures, and how to create stunning mottled wools with the palette dyes.  Students will receive samples of the palette wool dyed in class.

Hooking the Rainbow

This one-day workshop teaches students to see values rather than color when hooking.  This allows students to hook with "false" colors and experiment with expressionist art.  Lady Sunset is the pattern provided.  Red Jack Palette wools are available for purchase.

Going Abstract

Abstract artists tell us that their work is about expressing their inner selves visually rather than recreating a physical object through representational art.  This class is about expressing yourself with color and form and texture.  Class includes instruction booklet with suggestions for creating timeless abstract designs and hooking them successfully as contemporary rugs.
