Color is usually the first thing one sees. It is a very powerful and influential element of design. Color can be symbolic, subjective, emotionally evocative and very complicated. Using color successfully in woven textile design can be an especially daunting challenge. This presentation examines the basic principles of color theory, addresses what makes a color palette sophisticated and offers tips and techniques to developing a more discerning color sense and the confidence to design with color.

Kathleen Remsa is a fiber artist currently living in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. She attained a Bachelor of Science from Cook College, Rutgers University in Plant Science and a Master of Science in Textile Design from Philadelphia University. After recently concluding a fifteen year career designing and styling jacquard woven fabrics and collections for the residential and outdoor markets for Sunbury Textile Mill and Glen Raven Corporation, Kathleen now devotes her full attention to creating fiber art and instructing others in the design process and textile explorations.
