The Nutmeg Spinners Guild will feature Alanna Wilcox for a virtual guild meeting on Saturday, February 4th. The topic will be Color, Fiber, and Dye.

Are you a fiber enthusiast who is curious about color? Maybe you’re even “dyeing” to learn more about how and when color is applied to fiber influences a project’s visual outcome. In this lecture, Alanna breaks down color theory in a very easy to understand way for the novice fiber colorist and then deep dives into the nuances that can be tapped into when one is aware of how human perception of color (and how that perception) can guide our choices in creating with fiber, yarn, and handmade fabrics..

About Alanna Wilcox:
Alanna learned how to crochet from her grandmother. Her inquisitiveness led to learning how to do needlepoint, which was a gateway into cross stitch, then embroidery, crazy quilting, hand spinning yarn, dyeing fiber, knitting, weaving & felting. The more techniques she consumed, the more ravenous she became to learn more. She also loved drawing, painting, and playing with anything that had to do with color. Her love of the fiber arts was only rivaled by her enthusiasm to teach and inspire others about it. She gets energized when she’s able to combine fiber art techniques and teaching by writing books and leading workshops, allowing her to share her passion with others. Traveling to fiber festivals, connecting with textile enthusiasts, and telling corny jokes are also high on her to-do list. Alanna is a master spinner, fiber artist, author, and instructor who lives with her family in Rochester, NY.
