Please read our Class Policies before you enroll for your class.

Below is a preview of what's coming up at The Presser Foot. Please click the link in the class listing to view the entire class description on the calendar page and to see the link to the supply list.

Please enroll for your class by calling the store at least two days  prior to class day so that our instructors can have enough kits, handouts or other class materials for you. There may be some preparation work required before class day—if this is the case it will be noted on the class supply list, so please be sure you enroll in class enough in advance that you can complete the prep work!

We add new classes frequently. Don't see what you want? Get a couple of your friends together and ask us about creating a class just for you!

Color and Design

Thursday, November 5, 2026             from 12pm to 4pm                               Class Fee:   $400
                                                                                                                                      Instructor:  Sarah Ann Wells

Ever wonder why some colors just don't work together and others make your projects pop? 

This is the course for you to discover the knowledge and confidence to start boldly working with color! Using the book A Fiber Artist's Guide to Color & Design by Heather Thomas (available at The Presser Foot), Sarah Ann will teach you classic color theory and the principles of design. You'll learn and apply color terminology, color scale, color value, color dominance, color temperature, complex colors, design elements, line, shape, blending and form. You will also learn texture, size and scale, contrast and balance. Workshop lessons such as monochromatic quilts, exploring the use of color, scale and contrast provide opportunities to practice.

This course will provide you with in-depth knowledge and a new understanding of color that will take your projects to a whole new level. 

This year long class begins Tuesday, July 7, 2026 and then will be on the first Thursday of each month from August 2026 through June 2027. Students must have their own copy of the book A Fiber Artist's Guide to Color & Design by Heather Thomas. Remember, you will receive a 10%
class supply discount when you register for class.
