The main event for me on the second day of the conference was an all-day class with the keynote speaker for the conference, Ruby Leslie. She is a production weaver and had many beautiful scarves and many, many samples that showed her experiments with weave structure, yarn choice, and color.
2 samples in a "Fiesta" colorway
The above samples show how the perception of the other colors and of the overall piece is affected by switching the position of the yellow and blue-green yarns in the warp.
She is teaching a 3-day post-conference workshop called “Lost in Translation: There must be 50 ways to use your color”, which if course I now wish I was taking in addition to the tapestry workshop. I must clone myself.
Here are some color wraps she had made for the hands-on workshop, showing the color progressions to be used in a series of warps:
I will probably wrap up this blog series when I get home from conference. Have a great week!
