Join us for Colors That Sing with Mari Macmillan.
In this informative class, Mari dispels the frustrations of color selection for weaving. She will teach you color basics by removing the fear of color charts and overwhelming pairings of yarn snippets. With a little LITHPA you will be picking colors
with confidence.
LITHPA:
Learn: V is for Value, who does most of the work
I is for Intensity, that pushy color that likes to take over everything
T is for Temperature, which does a gymnastic backflip somewhere deep in Blue country
H is for Hue, whose importance is influenced by everything else going on.
P is for Proportion: a VERY small touch of a bright color adds sparkle. Too much is a mess.
Also L is for Location: Autumn leaf colors don't sell well in Hawaiʻi; Indigo and Ocean blues & Greens do.
What to Bring
- $10 supply fee
- Notebook and pen/pencil
- Samples of "your" colors you want to work with (yarns, a photo, etc.)
- Project that was a color-failure, and you don't know why (optional)
- Weaving project you want to pick the colors for, and have it turn out well (optional)
Instructor Bio
Mari has been weaving for over 30 years, and admits to being a color junkie. She has made lots of ugly stuff and has learned, finally, why some colors look truly AWFUL together in one combination and breathtakingly beautiful in another. You, too, can learn why this happens and how to plan a project that makes you happy.

MAP to HHH Classroom
How do I get to the Studio? From the Chinatown Gateway Garage, take the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk to the large double doors on the left. Enter the gallery and turn left; we are the last door on the left, past the kitchen. If you are parked elsewhere, walk up the steps to the DAC gift shop, go past it to find the elevator, and follow the instructions above to access the studio. There is a handicap ramp if you cannot walk up the stairs for the DAC building on the Nu'uanu entrance side. Walk towards the street lights, and you will see the ramp; you will need to walk through the courtyard to the elevator.
