January 12 - 10am "Getting Comfortable with Color" - A non technical discussion with Sharon Northby of how she works with color and the exercises you can use to train yourself to create new, unusual, subtle or sophisticated color combinations for your weaving. For color exercises people should bring water color paint and paper, if they have them, small bits of yarn especially in "challenging" and "boring" colors, and color inspirations they find pleasing, pictures, objects or things from nature. We'll do pot luck lunch and have show and tell.
