Choose Your Own Colour Adventure

Susan Delafield

Afternoon

Do you love colour as much as I do? I hope so. Let’s go on a colour adventure together. Do you remember a scene that took your breath away, so much so that you want to enjoy it forever? Or a persistent idea in the back of your mind that needs articulating? Bring a favourite photo or illustration or idea with you for inspiration so you can capture it with fibre. We will talk about ways to express colour in and with fibre, our medium of choice. We will experiment with different tools and techniques to realize your colour adventure.

Please Bring :

Hand cards, combs, apron, photograph or illustration for inspiration, any fibre prep tool that you might think is useful, working spinning wheel and/or spindle.

Susan’s lifelong dream of learning to spin started with a simple drop spindle class. She soon graduated to a wheel (or two), almost 15 years ago. Happily the Ontario Handspinning Seminar was in her home town that year and her fibre passion was kindled. A 2020 graduate of the OHS Spinning Certificate Program, Susan loves to experiment with all things fibre. She can often be found preparing fibre, dyeing, and spinning or knitting. It is her happy place.
