Adventures in Color
Speaker: Ellen Lindner, http://adventurequilter.com/
What do key lime pie and a beautiful quilt have in common? It’s the combination of ingredients that produce great results. In this lecture, you’ll learn to select colors that work well together and how to best manage their proportions. Basic color theory will be explained in simple terms and demonstrated with fabulous quilts.
About Ellen:
Ellen Lindner is a talented quilt artist and teacher, who is passionate about making fabric into art. She says, “I make art for the pure joy of doing so!” Known for its strong contrasts and vivid colors, her art has been shown throughout the United States, and beyond, has been commissioned by several well-known hospitals, and has been published in several magazines. Ellen has been seen on Quilting Arts TV where she taught some of her techniques. She’s also written two books and several magazine articles.
Her work is very diverse, ranging from pictorial still lifes to modernist abstracts. In addition to using commercial fabrics, Ellen has recently started dying much of her own fabric. This enlivens her pieces and gives her one more way to control the results. She works in a freeform collage style, while borrowing heavily from traditional quilt making techniques.
