Carol Taylor

3-in-1: Improvising with Color, Value, Line, and Circle

May 15 - 21, 2011

5-Day Workshop

All Levels

This workshop is a combination of three of Carol’s workshops that feature couched yarns as a main design element. (Sensuous Lines & Curves, Arc-i-Textures, and The Value of Value.) Once you learn this easy technique, you will be able to create ALL THREE of these quilts in one class!

First you will make a small 15 x 15 version to learn the techniques, and then after you’ve mastered the skills in the small piece, you will take it up one more level. 

In the long, skinny version, Carol will teach you how to use value (going from light to dark) as a main design element using these same skills.  “Value” is a hard concept to learn without practice, so this workshop is a simple, hands-on way to get some experience with composition, how to balance color, size, & use value to make your design “flow” smoothly in a light to dark gradation…..an element that makes Carol’s quilts so effective! 

Then you will learn to piece those really skinny lines to combine with couched skinny lines on the third piece.
