We will cover both exploring color theory to create new multicolor fabrics and I will share the secret recipes” for 20 of my most favorite multicolor palettes . I’ve spent over 16 years perfecting my low water immersion dyeing techniques to create stunning pieces of multicolor fabric…and although each piece is truly one-of-a-kind, my methods allow me to mix the same colors over and over again, and I can manipulate the fabric in a certain manner and predict what it’s going to look like with accuracy. Now, I am anxious to share these methods with you so you too can create glorious, multicolor fabrics with intention! This class is packed with details! In the 10 sessions there are over 10 hours of video and 126 pages of downloadable PDF’s , along with several helpful spreadsheets. Because access to my classes never expire, you are welcome to take your time exploring color relationships while dyeing lots of incredible fabric. Course Content Session 1: Supplies, Tools and Techniques We begin by covering what you’ll need to complete everything in this course. The few specialized supplies needed are easily available to order online and the bulk of what you will use are easily purchased locally, or better yet, scavenged from your recycling bin (and perhaps those of your friends as well!). We will also cover how to find a place to do your dyeing safely and how to set up your workspace. I also cover the basic techniques you’ll be using throughout the class in this session. Session 2: The Color Wheel Dyeing a color wheel allows you to expand your knowledge of color theory, and stretch your understanding of color influence. I take you through this process and supply you with the measurements to make color wheels with both my preferred sets of primary colors. You are also welcome to create a color wheel with your preferred primaries as well, I’m here to help you with that! Session 3: Multicolor Techniques I teach you 5 completely different LWI techniques that span the gamut of control over the outcome; from lots of control over where the colors lay down and mingle to hardly any control at all. Session 4: Monochromatic Palettes We’ll start our palette creation by focussing on a single hue at a time. Then, to make things more interesting, we’ll add black to the mix and see where that takes us! Session 5: Analagous Palettes Analagous colors allow us to celebrate the characteristics of a hue by bringing in its neighbors. Session 6: Complementary Palettes Now, we add some contrast by combining complementary colors. Session 7: Split Complementary Palettes Have you always wondered what these were? Well, here’s your chance to find out! Session 8: Triadic Palettes In this session we’ll learn how to pick 3 colors around the color wheel and make them work. Session 9: Rainbow Palettes Using all the colors around the wheel can be intimidating…let me help you narrow your focus and create some truly stunning fabric. Session 10: Conclusion Finally, we’ll wrap up all we’ve learned and figure out where to go next in our explorations! Course Time Commitment This is a self-paced course, meaning you can work through it as quickly or slowly as you need to. I estimate that a motivated student could complete each session in two 8 hour days (so, every weekend for about 10 weeks). If you wanted to, you could devote an entire 2-3 weeks to following this through, beginning to end (what a creative vacation that could be!) However, most of us have lots of other things to do, so at every step along the way I will point out time sensitive steps and discuss how the work could be distributed to fit your needs. (I started dyeing soon after I became a mother, and 16 years later, all I know is how to dye around 4 busy schedules! I hear that at some point my oldest son being able to drive will make my life less frazzled – I’ll get back you y’all on that...
