This workshop is for anyone interested in improving and exploring ways of working on the wheel. The session will cover philosophy and approach as well as technique and style - not that those things are separate! The focus will be on useful dishes, and what makes a pot “successful.” There will be a mixture of demonstrations by Jane and a chance to try the things we’ve discussed, with a helping eye and hand from Jane. Bring specific questions if you have them. Open to people with all levels of experience working on the wheel.

COLOR THEORY

Margery Theroux 19W WKS519: Saturday, Mar 16, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM 1 session $125 Material fee $5 Material list: tasoc.org No senior discount or membership fee All levels This workshop will be valuable to any artist, student, or craftsperson that uses color in their work. Journey with us as we explore color theory! We will create our own color wheels and discuss a variety of topics, including the emotional impact of color, the nuances of color, and how the eye sees. We will also work through a series of exercises that will help each student differentiate subtleties between colors and illustrate the power of color (exercises include warm and cool color charts, geometric seasonal charts, and random color charts). Each exercise will be reviewed by the group as a whole, allowing everyone to see color more objectively and understand how to use it. Students will be working in watercolor. Helpful handouts will be provided by the instructor to emphasize specific points, recommend reading materials and websites, and give guidance for further research.
