Workshop with Teacher Heather Gordon
Working with colour can be the most enjoyable part of a rug hooking experience. Unfortunately, many people dread colour planning and it creates so much anxiety that they grab fibers that are on hand and end up being dissatisfied with the finished project.
Working with colour is not difficult once you have some general guidelines. This workshop is designed to provide tips for the effective use of colour. It is not rocket science so relax and have fun. You can do it!
We will cover some basic colour terminology, without going into all that dreadful colour wheel theory, so that we are all using the terms in the same way.
Then we will look at:
Bring the pattern of your choice and all the fibres that you think you might possibly use for this workshop. If you like the rooster theme, I have 3 patterns available (on request) and Christine has several rooster designs at the shop as well.

Then we will look at:
- how to choose colours that really work well together
- how to choose colours that are right for the design
- how colour and texture work together to create detail and perspective
- how colour draws attention to the focal point of your design
- how colour creates an emotional response in the viewer and the “doer”
- how to use contrast effectively
