Online Workshops

I offer three online workshops for guilds and groups: Coiling Basics about my coiled basketry techniques; Freeform Tapestry which I use to create small format improvisational tapestries; and Color Journaling which covers the exercises I developed in my studio practice to more freely use color on paper and with fiber. If you are interested in any of these workshops, please contact me for a more detailed prospectus.

COILING BASICS

In this workshop, participants will create a small open bowl while learning to start the coil of a basket, change colors and create a design, shape the vessel, end the coil and finish the rim. No previous experience is necessary.

This is a 12-hour Zoom workshop broken into 3- or 4-hour sessions. These can be scheduled during one week or over several weeks. Fee: $600 for up to 10 participants. A materials list and an illustrated PDF handout are included.

FREEFORM TAPESTRY

In this workshop, participants will create a small tapestry using a frame loom while learning to design and weave a freeform tapestry, blend and play with color within a design and create shapes in tapestry. Some previous weaving experience is recommended but not necessary. Participants will warp their looms prior to the workshop. (Warping videos are available on my Vimeo channel.)

This is a 12-hour Zoom workshop broken into 3- or 4-hour sessions. These can be scheduled during one week or over several weeks. Fee: $600 for up to 10 participants. A materials list and an PDF illustrated handout are included.

COLOR JOURNALING

There are tw0 versions of this workshop. In the one-hour session, participants will learn the basic color journaling exercise I developed in my own studio practice to help me learn to more freely play with color. I also give an overview of six variations to the basic exercise and discuss some of the ways I use color journaling in my studio practice.

An expanded three-hour workshop is also available which includes everything in the one-hour session, then participants will use the basic exercise to create a design for a larger work and we will discuss in depth how color journaling can be used improvisationally in their own studio practices.

Fee for the one-hour session is $50 for up to 10 participants; $100 for 11 – 20 participants. Fee for the 3-hour session is $150 for up to 10 participants. A materials list and PDF handout are included in the fee. A 20% discount for my book, Color Journaling: Engaging & Expanding Your Creativity While Playing with Color will be available to participants for 2 weeks after the workshop.
