Palette Scout: Choosing colors for tapestry and other fiber art applications

Palette Scout: Choosing colors for tapestry and other fiber art applications

I’ve been teaching color for tapestry weaving in Vermont and New Hampshire this month and I was excited to add this color tool to my toolbox just before I left on the trip. We were able to use the Palette Scout in both of the workshops I taught.

There is a lot of power in a color swatch tool like this. There are many color tools out there and I introduce many of my favorites in various online classes such as Design Solutions, but this one is different in that each hue is on a different card. That means that you can move the cards around as you create a palette and that makes all the difference.

What is it like to run your own tapestry education business? A recorded Change the Shed episode

Before I left for my teaching trip in Vermont and New Hampshire, I recorded a short Change the Shed episode to air on June 12, 2024. I wanted to address some of the questions I’ve been asked mostly about my business in recent months. The questions range from how big my team is (you might be surprised) to what I do with tiny tapestries. I suspect that person was wondering the bigger question, what good is tapestry really? And that quickly morphs into why do we even make art? I promise I don’t get into that in the video, but I definitely do in some of the online classes. It is a short episode at about 15 minutes.
