An intriguing color system designed to sharpen color acuity and creativity.  The one-day workshop begins with an exciting display of woven word examples.  Just imagine a color name draft, with a color and number for every letter of the alphabet, and you have a picture of woven words.  Students learn a beautiful wrapping technique, wrap their names, and transfer this color sequence to a weft-faced weaving.  After having woven their names, students have an opportunity to weave family names, a personal motto, or a short poem. Perfect for towels, scarves and shawls. Students bring a warped loom.
