In this class, students will learn the theory behind how colors mix and use this knowledge to blend primary colors. By sharing their blended colors, each student will create a fiber color wheel to
take home. This class takes the theory of color blending and applies it to drum carding as never before! All carding and blending will be done on our Elite Series Drum Carders with each student using a provided electric carder. All materials, wooden fiber wheel, carders, and tools will be provided by the instructors.
