Description: Weavers seduced by gorgeous colored yarns often fail to use them successfully. The usual approach to this problem is to learn color theory, which is a huge and daunting undertaking. Learning terminology is NOT the equivalent of learning to use color well. What is needed is a method to translate color theory, terminology and yarn wrappings into actual weaving. You don’t need to master color theory to use color masterfully. Ruby will share her extensive collection of samples for a production line of scarves, which document her evolving approach to color design. This progression led to the development of a practical approach to color theory as applied to weaving and a process for designing swatches for Handwoven magazine’s Color Forecast series that is applicable for all fiber artists.
