Saturday Workshops

Hand Building Ceramics Workshop with Alyssa Wood

Slide Lecture:  The Seven Ways of Color Contrast with Laura Smith

Saturday, June 21 from 1 to 2 pm.    Whether you paint, throw, photograph or work in other media, understanding and utilizing color contrast is crucial to the success of many designs.  Come for a walk through over 80 slides of luscious garden, greenway and forest scenes in photos along with fiber art examples.  We will examine seven forms of color contrast for you to play with in your art: value, hue, intensity, temperature, successive, and simultaneous contrasts and contrast of extent.  An added bonus is that the visual stimulation will feed your energy for your art.

Laura Smith is Executive Director of Creative Art Exchange and a fiber artist.  She holds a Master Craftsman in Color from the Embroiderers’ Guild of America and currently chairs the program.  Her website is:  http://stitch4fun.com
