Class Description:

Essentially a stitch sampler, Color on Color is a class on color theory disguised as a project.  Worked on red 18 ct. canvas, the student will learn how to work with optical mixing, simultaneous contrast and successive contrast using bright, chromatic colors (blue, yellow, green, violet and red).  Stitches will include laid filling stitches, darning patterns, and layered stitches.

In each section, the student will have a selection of threads and can duplicate the teacher’s solution to the color problem or create her own.  The student will have the security of structured design decisions.

Kit includes 18 ct. mono canvas, ThreadworX overdyed pearl #8, and a selection of the following threads in four colors:  ribbon floss, Neon Rays +, Impressions, Kreinik metallic and Kreinik metallics.

Course objectives: Do-able, finish-able, fun projects are attractive to many seminar attendees, from the new learner to the student who has been to every seminar since the beginning.  In this class, the student will learn handling techniques for various threads in unusual places, compensation, creating the illusion of depth and wonderful twisty Jean Hilton-inspired stitches.
Kit Cost: $70
Student to Supply:

16 x 16 Stretcher bars (Evertites preferred), tacks or staple gun to attach canvas, usual stitching tools and supplies, frame holder, additional light and magnification, if desired.
