    Question: What does it mean by Duration of 10 or 14 weeks?
    Our standard duration for teacher help is 10 weeks. If you feel you need longer we have an option to select 14 weeks of teacher help. We find this is plenty of time for the student to be engaged. After the teacher time is ended you still have access to the class data and you also have access to extend your time at a later date (details are included in each class)
    Question: Is the workshop self-paced or do lessons open at certains times such as on a weekly schedule? 
    Workshops are self-paced. All lessons are available as soon as you access the class for the first time unless otherwise stated in the workshop description.

    Once purchased, you can access the class data at any time, 24 hours a day for as long as you need. On occasion, a teacher or workshop may retire, in this case we will give you fair warning so you can download the class data so you can still access the information.

    We all love color!
    Color is so seductive, so attractive…it’s the reason you buy many of your clothes, paint your house certain shades, even the car you choose!
    So why take a color class???

    Well……….
    Have you ever puzzled about why your quilt or painting wasn’t quite working very well but you couldn’t put your finger on it?
    Have you ever been totally confused as to which color will go best with the ones you already have?
    Do you end up just copying the colors in the photograph of the landscape? And then thinking the painting feels a bit flat?
    Do you try fabric after fabric auditioning different ones to see which is best?

    Do you know how to create a specific mood in your painting or fiberart?

    Do you know why certain color combinations just seem to work so much better than others?

    All of these questions and more are answered in this course on Color from veteran teacher/designer Elizabeth Barton. The class is applicable to many different mediums: fiber, paint, ceramics….even landscape gardening!

    All of the topics above are addressed along with specific exercises to help you absorb the new knowledge you will gain. Clear text plus narrated Power Points and several short video clips help you to make the most of color.

    And you can post your exercises and get Elizabeth’s feedback if you so desire!!
