"I recently completed KNITSONIK Colour at Play; simply put, it’s brilliant! Felix brings knowledge, expertise, her own experiences, and most important, her joy of colour, to the course. Each lesson is both fun and insightful and helps in understanding and using colour. What I especially value from Colour at Play (and the other courses at KNITSONIK I have taken) are the guides and toolkits that are included to be used after the course. They have become part of my daily practice as an artist, a way of challenging me to discover more, and just as useful, to record it for the future. Colour at Play is a wonderful adventure in colour and most highly recommended!" - Patricia

What is a Golden Ticket?

The simplest way to buy a place on the new Colour at Play Course is to sign up for it on Teachable, and pay through the gateway there. However, you can also buy a Golden Ticket for the course: 

• if you want to gift a course place and have something shiny arrive in the post for your recipient.
• if you prefer to pay by PayPal (which is not activated in the KNITSONIK School payment gateway).
• want to shop KNITSONIK all in one place.
• want something shiny in the post especially for you.

How does the Golden Ticket work?

Your Golden Ticket will be posted to you in the mail by itself or as part of a larger order. On the back of the ticket, there'll be a unique coupon code that removes 100% of the course price in Teachable. You'll still need to go through the process of "buying" the course in Teachable, as this enrols you in the school as a student. However, you'll pay nothing there, because you've already paid for the course here. Once your Golden Ticket arrives in the mail, simply scan the unique coupon code using your smartphone (it's a QR code).

This will take you to the course with 100% of the cost removed. Once you click the big red ENROL FOR FREE button, you'll be enrolled and can proceed straight to the course. 

When you buy a Golden Ticket you will receive one golden ticket in a golden envelope with a golden seal. Like the Golden Ticket that granted access to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, this will take you to a world of joy and creativity: The KNITSONIK School - art school for makers.

What is Colour at Play?

Colour at Play is a course in seven sections. It builds your confidence for playing with colour as you go, and I've designed this course to cultivate your appreciation for the colours of daily life. There are no colour wheels or colour theory here; rather, this course is about developing confidence with colour through the transformative power of play. I'm happy to lead you on this journey and serve as your enthusiastic colour-appreciator and enabler of daily creative joy.

The course provides structure

As you progress through the seven sections of the course, you'll find different things to try out, each of which will give you new kinds of colour experiences. In the course environment, you can see your progress as you go.

The course helps you record your colour journey

You can use a Bullet Journal, a notepad, a photo-album or any other means to record your colour journey on this course. However, each section also comes with printable worksheets that enable you to easily record your experiences. Print and fill them out to build a beautiful portfolio of your experiences.

Colour at Play is quick and easy, and you don't need fancy stuff!

• Most of the videos in this course are around five minutes long - none are longer than ten.
• The creative exercises are designed to fit easily into ordinary life.
• This is not a knitting course (though there is one optional swatching task).

Colour at Play is accessible

• Each video comes with proper closed captions that can be switched on or off.
• Videos can be sped up or slowed down as needed.
• Downloadables come with white background for print and cream background for easier screen reading.
• Letter spacing, font choices and line-spacing for all downloadable content are designed using the advice of the British Dyslexia Association. 
• There is no music in any of the videos to distract or compete with the clear instructional voice used throughout.

You don't need any special equipment for this course - there's a Materials List over on Teachable - and you don't need tons of time. The whole premise for Colour at Play is that the ideas can be easily practiced every day, in and around (and as part of) the busy stuff of life. Don't wait for a three day colour contemplation retreat to learn more about colour. Instead, join me and discover how you can sneak colour contemplation into everyday moments like making the lunch, taking a ten minute break from your desk, or going for a walk in your local neighbourhood.
