Colour & Tapestry Weaving with Joan Baxter
This class can be taken as a continuation of the Introduction to Tapestry class or can stand alone. It is primarily aimed at those who already know the basics of tapestry but it can also be applied to other constructed textile processes such as knitting, cloth weave and canvass embroidery so is not exclusively for tapestry weavers.
Students will develop colour palettes for their textile work using a large range of coloured yarns that Joan will supply for the class. During the class you will make a series of colour samples derived from memory, from photographic or painted sources and from actual objects.
Cost: £240 including materials & light lunch.
