Color Palette Development with Candy Glendening 11-26-24

Redlands Art Association hosts free PROGRAMS:  guest artists to educate / entertain us on the 4^th Tuesday night of each month, September through May. 

Fabric artist, author, video teacher, and Biology Professor,  Candy Glendening will talk to us on Tuesday, Nov. 26… Color Palette Development: Join Candy as she takes you through her process of developing the color palettes she uses to dye her multi-hued silk scarves. Her use of the color wheel allows her to create new combinations when her creative mojo is missing. She will also share the techniques she uses to vary the visual texture of her hand dyed fabric!

Candy Glendening is addicted to color! She dyes fabric so she can have just the hue & texture she wants, and then uses it to make art quilts and “everyday art”. She has had many publications in Interweave Press/F & W Media quilt magazines; 40 at last count. These publishing opportunities led to her filming 12 different episodes of the PBS show “Quilting Arts TV”. The folks at Interweave also produced Candy illustrating her artistic process in two workshop DVDs: “Dyeing to Stitch: A Comprehensive Guide to Creating Colorful Fabric Art” and “Free Motion Machine Sketching: Drawing with Thread from Birds to Botanicals”.

By day, she teaches Biology at the University of Redlands in Southern California. By night, weekend, and online she also teaches quilting and dyeing. She shows and sells her work at local art fairs as well as the Redlands Art Association.
