Textile Inspirations in Polymer Clay/Stripe Blends gone Wild
Two day workshop- all levels either
Saturday August 1st and Sunday August 2nd, 2009 10 am-4:00pm
Supply List below
Workshop fee= $150
Join Lindly Haunani, a nationally recognized colorist for a fun and illuminating weekend workshop. While you may know just what colors you like, exactly how to mix them (or not), using them in harmonious combinations can be challenging. Learn how to add harmony to your work with increased color confidence while learning valuable bench tricks and techniques for working with polymer clay.
You will learn strategies for designing and mixing cohesive color schemes, including how to choose a level of saturation within your comfort zone. You will learn the secret to making successful “skinny” stripe blends that will be used to make nine different laminated textile patterns including the popular Log Cabin Quilt design, Spirals, Seminole Patchwork, Bargello and a variation of a Nine Patch quilting design. In addition to having fun, you will leave with a series of wearable color samples/brooches. You will increase your awareness of how appropriate color choices and contrasts can add impact to your work.
See how the three properties of color: value, hue and saturation dazzle and change when proportion, juxtaposition and surface are consciously adjusted. Ask questions, be ready to laugh and increase your color confidence.

NOTE: Please take the time to condition your clay and sheet it out on the thickest setting of your pasta machine, not only does this save time in class…it allows you much more time to explore all the different variations of the textile Inspirations that will be presented. It sounds like “lots” of scrap clay- this will be used to maximize your skinny skinners and backing sheets for your completed pieces.
