AN IMAGE EXPERIENCE Past students simply rave about their time with Ethel. Have your colors and makeup done by the expert, using her all-new system. She'll provide you with new color choices and information that will update your look and expand your creativity. You'll be more professional and effective. If you had your colors done years ago, and have changed, maybe it's time to be done again! Groups of up to four (a minimum of two) are scheduled for an evening at Ethel's home (share a cab or carpool from the hotel). The small group is fun as you learn by watching as she drapes each student. You will start to "see" what works and what doesn't. Based on personal color values and intensity, this new color system recognizes the unique harmony of your hair, skin, and eye colors, and their relationship to all colors. These same colors are then translated into color choices that will enhance, flatter, and compliment your wardrobe. A handpicked color palette is then created using your very best colors.
Ethel will give you your palette during the workshop and show you how to use it to shop for fabrics.
If you can arrive in Portland and have your colors done before the workshop you will have more time to use them. Ethel and/or Pati will shop with you to create an exciting, interesting wardrobe to sew. Special Color Analysis price for workshop
students: $125 |

The

Sewing Teacher Training. It's a great pampering day that we don't
usually allow ourselves.
