Winter Workshops 

My newest workshop for polymer artists is called Inspiration from the Third Dimension. It combines a 3D color class using the new Kolormondo Mini Globe with a polymer workshop focused on the sculptural possibilities of the material.

I am offering a preview of the class in Portland on Saturday, January 20th before heading to London to debut the class on the first weekend of February. 

There are a few more spots open in the London Workshop.  Join us if you can!

After teaching in London, then its off for an extended version of the workshop in Aix-en-Provence and a weekend workshop in Belgium. 

If you would like to come to the one day preview class in Portland, I invite you register soon on the VIA Artistica site using the link below. 

I promise it will be a fun way to kick off a new year of color explorations!

Prototypes for the Mini Color Globe

The Many Sizes of Kolormondo

NEW! Mini Color Globes

After teaching for a few years with the a Kolormondo globe I asked the inventor, Nicoline Kinch, if it would be possible to make a less expensive version for students to use in the classroom. 

We spent last year going back and forth with prototypes between Sweden and the USA, and the first production run of the new Mini Color Globes was delivered by the printer in December. Hurrah!

The next step is to develop a series of age appropriate educational materials to go along with the globe.

Nicoline and I will be at Creativeworld in Frankfurt at the end of January and at the National Art Educators Association conference in Seattle at the end of March to collect feedback and gather ideas for educational materials to be used in STEAM programs.

If you are at Creativeworld or attending the NAEA conference in Seattle - be sure to pop into our booth and say HI!

Color Explorer Central

i've added a few more of my favorite products to the website for designers, artists and teachers interested in exploring the art and science of 21st Century Color. 

Items labeled "New!" are this year's additions. Some are old standards. Some are brand new.

ISCC/AIC
Munsell Centennial Symposium  
June 11 - 15, 2018
MassArt, Boston

The Massachusetts College of Art and Design will host a week long program of international speakers, tutorials, workshops, poster sessions, panels, field trips and study group meetings.

Affordable single and double rooms are available in the new state-of-the-art Treehouse Dorm across the street from the MassArt campus.

Munsell built bridges between the art and science of color and was a strong advocate for the importance of early color education.  You can see why he is one of my color heroes! 

I am thrilled to be part of the ISCC Organizing Committee planning this historic event. I invite you to come spend a week in Boston with color experts, educators, and enthusiasts from all over the world as we look back on the last 100 years of color milestones and envision the future of 21st century color at Munsell 2018.

Early registration is now open.
I hope to see you there!
