Thursday Evening Programme 2025/26

8 January 2026: Zoom - Guest Speaker : Leah Higgins - Understanding Colour “Do you love adding colour to fabric, thread, yarn, or fibre, but find you don’t always get the colours, or results you expected?

In 'Understanding Colour' I start by looking at what colour actually is and how we see it. I explores the differences between paints and dyes identifying their advantages and their limitations. I explains how traditional colour theory, developed for paints, must be translated into colour practice when working with dyes and textile. And I look at how primary colours in colour theory are replaced co-primary colours in the real world and what that means for us when we are working with paints and dyes”
