Do you ever struggle with what colors to pick for a quilt or garment? Do you tend to pick the same colors and patterns you feel comfortable with? Do you know why some colors look great together? This course starts by teaching you basic color theory to give you a fundamental understanding of the color wheel, hue, complementary colors, cold and warm colors, color mixing, spatial effects of color and more. By understanding these practical terms you will be able to make color choices with ease. By participating in interactive color demonstrations you will gain confidence about the colors and patterns you choose for your projects. During the class you will create a color notebook you can refer to when designing your projects in the future. Techniques learned in this class can give your projects the pizzazz they need to go beyond nice and become award winning quality.

Many students take this class to help them understand color in other art and home decorating projects.
