205-F Color Craft

Have you ever wondered where a color comes from or struggled trying to match a color? In this class you will learn the secrets of working with color. As a craftsperson, having hands on experience is what it takes to really learn how to manipulate color. The objective in this one-day course is to teach you the origins and classification of widely used pigments. The course will further supplement your knowledge base by demonstrating the dispersion rates of pigments. You will have a solid understanding of dyes, stains, and the ability to manufacture paint. This will allow you to incorporate raw pigments into your decorative finishes. Plus, hands-on excercises will help develop your color matching skills.

"Knowing the origin of color and knowing how it interacts with other mediums comes before innovation."
