From Color to Collar: Exploring 21st Century Color

The heart of this two day workshop will be exploring ways to use color with more intention. Start with an intro to 21st Century Color and leave with an elegant, art-to-wear collar inspired by your personal color collage.

Color: Forget the rules. Throw out the color wheel. Its time to rethink everything you thought you knew about color. Why? Because most color theory is simplistic, misleading, confusing or just plain wrong. Come play with color just for the fun of it as we “smash” traditional theories and replace them with the latest information about color in the 21st century.

Collar: Create a Flow Collage as the inspiration for a project palette and learn how to quickly mix your colors with the help of Maggie’s Mixing Map. Explore the concept of color flows by mixing beautiful Skinner blends that evoke the feeling of your collage. Learn Maggie’s signature ColorWash technique and then use your Skinner blends to make a color coordinated collection of split rings and a custom clasp all designed to fall beautifully around your neck.
