Bookmark The Colours with Helen Lockhart

Are you frozen with indecision when it comes to choosing colour combinations for a project? Does vivid pink go with navy blue? Is that teal too green or too blue to go with that orange? Do you want some guidance about the colours at that moment?If so, then you may want to come and playfully learn how to be at ease with colour for a few hours!In this workshop we will look at colour in a gentle, fun way.

There will be no hard and fast rules.

To try out colour combinations we will weave a choice of those colours in a small woven piece of fabric, like a fabric bookmark, on a tiny loom, which will be yours to take away with you at the end of the class.
