Colour at Work

Colour at Work is a richly-illustrated and colourful book for thinkers and makers of all kinds. Its essays and photos will inspire you to cherish the social histories of colour and its uses in our creative working lives. 

It opens with a series of essays by Kate Davies exploring different historic aspects of colour. After this, a practical section with essays from Felicity (Felix) Ford and Janine Bajus looks at the use of colour in knitting and other artistic practices. The final section examines the role that colour plays across the work of different designers and makers, revealing colour as a connective thread that weaves its way through many different aspects of identity and experience. From its use in early cinema, to its applications in Fair Isle knitting, to its importance in the work of different creatives, colour is celebrated in Colour at Work as a vital element of making. 

Colour is the rich resource with which we knit and stitch and document the story of our time on earth. Colour can bring us back to ourselves as we develop intuitive and self-trusting ways of working. And we can turn to colour whenever we feel the need to use the work of our own hands to question the world in which we live. 

With your own creative hands, how will you make colour work? 

Colour at Play

The perfect complement to Colour at Work, Colour at Play is a practical online course that shows you how to approach using colour in your own life with a renewed sense of fun, play, and purpose. It's an inclusive course designed for makers working in any media, and suitable for all. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, Colour at Play gives you new ways to work with colour; new ways to appreciate its nuances; and new ways to see (and celebrate) the colours that surround you in daily life. 

The course comes in bite-size pieces and is accompanied by an enabling online handbook of practical exercises. Journey through these at your own pace in the well-structured online-learning environment in which you can also ask questions and get feedback on your work. 

Testimonials for Colour at Play

“Your passion and enthusiasm for the colour is infectious. I have got through the whole course and it is absolutely fantastic. I am now going back to the beginning to go through it again. Honestly it’s been inspiring and really eye opening. I went down Kings Road yesterday and felt like I was absorbing all the colours and seeing them for the first time. Thank you soooo much for this it’s life changing. It really is.”

“Each module sparks creativity, and Felix offered encouragement and tips when I struggled with matching colours. Unlike in previous courses, I actively engaged in the forum, sharing insights and challenges. Felix is always present to moderate and interact, making this self-paced course feel like a live experience.”

“Felix always delivers! I've taken a couple of her online courses: Bullet Journaling and Colour at Play. Felix pours her heart and soul into each course she gives, helping me to stretch my creative wings and really soar.  She's supportive and encourages creativity, innovation and doing what makes the STUDENT bloom. She is self-effacing and an amazing fiber-artist, designer, teacher!  I'd sign up for her courses in a heartbeat!”
