Join us on February 3, 2024 at 10 am PT for Quilter’s Color Mixer 2024! Join us at this dynamic event for a vibrant multi-class event on the most powerful (and intimidating) tool in the quilter's toolkit: color. You’ll learn about color theory, creating custom color palettes, stash-busting techniques, making mini color studies, pattern play and color proportions, and so much more! Come for the mini masterclasses and stay for the giveaways, a virtual swag bag, and an opportunity to connect with makers worldwide! Watch live or recorded. Best of all, you get 6 1/2 hours of quilt finishing content in four hours.
The event will include a keynote speaker, Jen Kingwell. Jen Kingwell is an accomplished quilter who has significantly impacted the modern quilting scene.
Born and raised in rural Australia, Jen draws inspiration from her travel adventures and the natural beauty of her surroundings at home in Torquay, Australia. Jen published numerous patterns, booklets, and the popular Quilt Recipes. Jen's talent and dedication have earned her numerous accolades, including winning the prestigious 2023 Rajah Award. Her work has been featured in leading quilting publications and exhibited in shows worldwide.
Here is how the event works:
After a brief walkthrough on how a Zoom virtual event works, you will begin by choosing your learning adventure with three workshop sessions. You will pick three you want to see live (one from each session). Recordings of all the rooms will be available to watch through your Creative Spark account after the event. World-renowned quilter and author Jen Kingwell concludes the event with a keynote presentation that will give you insight into how she views color and design to inspire you for your next project.
The event has nine 45-minute workshops, all of which you have lifetime access to after the event. Those who attend the live portion of the event get entered for a chance to win various giveaways. Since Creative Spark thinks everyone is a winner, everyone gets a virtual swag bag with goodies like tip sheets, patterns, quilt labels, and coupons.
Talk about a treasure trove of resources! With nine lessons to refer to repeatedly, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a quilting and color master!
