Keith Straley will present a workshop on "Grab Bag Color Theory." Keith will explore spinning with different colored fiber. Fiber artists who don't spin are welcome to join in to learn some interesting insights on color theory and what goes into yarn construction.
When buying prepared fiber for spinning, it may be available in a particular "colorway" or palette designed by the manufacturer. This workshop will look at ways to get the most use out of various colorways by deconstructing them and recombining the colors in new ways.
