All are Welcome!A few years ago when I was teaching workshops in Australia, I was very lucky to visit David while he was teaching a workshop at the Julian Ashton Art School in Sydney. His color classes for painters include a long-running intensive five-day workshop, Colour, Light and Vision, and an undergraduate lecture course on the history of artistic colour theory and practice at the National Art School in Sydney. Be sure to read the Munsell Color Blog's interview of Dr David Briggs about tomorrow's webinar and about his website for artists interesting in exploring the
science of color.

Nicoline Kinch, the inventor of Kolormondo, is visiting Portland for a few days before we drive up to Seattle for the National Art Educators Association conference. We are presenting educational materials to be used in STEAM programs at the KOLORMONDO booth and giving two talks during the STEAM Camp.
We hope to collect feedback and gather ideas for using Kolormondo in the classroom from the 5000+ art teachers who are attending the conference from all over the US. If you are going to the NAEA conference in Seattle - be sure to pop into our booth and say HI!
I am thrilled to announce that I will be teaching a full day class at Polymer Week 2018 in the Czech Republic from October 4 -10, 2018. More info soon!

With Easter just around the corner, I'm looking forward to playing with this new egg dying kit I found at the grocery store yesterday. The phrase "Exclusive dyeing trays create layered effects" was too enticing to pass by! The directions say to use vinegar to dissolve all the dye tablets except for "pink." They recommend using water instead for best results. We'll test it!
That's it for now.
Have fun celebrating the International Colour Day tomorrow! With gratitude and love, Maggie Maggio | Smashing Color
