Color can be one of the most challenging parts of fiber art, especially when working with natural fibers, natural dyes, and nature-inspired palettes. This hands-on workshop takes a fiber-first approach to color, exploring how hue, value, saturation, sheen, texture, and material differences shape real-world palette decisions. Participants will learn to build harmonious palettes, avoid muddy combinations, translate inspiration from nature, and create project-ready color sets that match their personal style. By the end, students will leave with multiple finished palettes, practical color tools, a reusable color library, and a repeatable method for building palettes with confidence.
East Building Room 1
Note: All classrooms are on the Dixon May Fairgrounds, 655 S 1st St, Dixon, CA, and students will get free admission on the day of their workshop(s).
No Experience Necessary
All supplies needed for class
Optional: photos, swatches, samples, or finished work of palettes you love
Cheri Bywater is a fiber-arts educator and co-owner of Textile Indie, a family-run business dedicated to helping makers grow their skills, confidence, and creativity. Her workshops are practical, encouraging, and focused on the skills fiber artists often wish they’d learned sooner: photographing fiber art beautifully, developing an authentic brand, building cohesive color palettes, setting up an online shop, and confidently sharing their work. Drawing on years of experience in teaching, communication, and creative business, Cheri offers warm, supportive, and highly actionable guidance. Students leave her classes with clear next steps and a renewed sense of creative identity.
