SUMMARY:Color Horoscope Weaving by Bonnie Tarses
DESCRIPTION:  \nBio: \nBonnie Tarses—a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design in Textile Design and Art Education\, has been weaving since 1960. Inspired by ethnic textiles\, color symbolism\, and the non-verbal language of color woven as joyous prayer\, Bonnie specializes in functional one-of-a-kind art cloth and private commissions. \nShe operated her studio in Seattle from 1980 to 2010 where she perfected her original techniques: Color Horoscope Weaving and Woven Words and developed a new slant to the ancient technique of Ikat which she calls “Turned Weft Ikat”. During her 30 years in Seattle\, she became active in the Seattle Weavers Guild serving as president in 1993. \nIn 2010\, Bonnie moved to Montana to continue her weaving journey. She served as president of the Seattle Weavers Guild in 2013 and was named a Living Treasure by the Montana Association of Weavers and Spinners in 2016. \nIn addition to sharing her love of weaving by presenting innovative workshops and lectures throughout the U.S. and Canada (now mostly through zoom)\, Bonnie’s work appears in homes and on bodies all over the world. Her current passion\, though\, is developing collaborative origami projects for the betterment of the greater community. \nTo find out more and see images of her work\, check out her website bonnietarses.com and Bonnie Tarses on Facebook and Instagram plus an archival blog\, Weaving Spirit on blogspot. \n  \nColor Horoscope Weaving \nThis program is an overview of my journey from color gamps to Color Horoscope Weaving \nA span of 45 years \nAlthough I have been weaving for 63 years\, the first couple decades were all about exploration: of patterns and structures\, of textures and colors. At last I discovered the interplay of color was my true passion. Over decades of teaching color focused workshops\, I have noticed that a vast majority of weavers are challenged by color. My sincerest hope is that through my words and images your relationship to color will be transformed. \nJoin me on an amazing color journey!  With over 100 delicious images\, I will dazzle your senses and open a door to color possibilities beyond the capabilities of the human eye. The arcane language of astrology is translated into the non-verbal language of color that everyone relates to in a completely unique manner. I superimpose a color wheel over a horoscope (which is merely a map of the sky at a selected time and place. It can be a wedding day\, graduation or this very moment.  I use 12 colors which combine to create over 5 billion color possibilities. Most color gamps produce around 144. How I do this is a complicated process which I continue to refine.  When I first began teaching\, I taught students how to convert their horoscope into a winding draft\, but I quickly discovered that students wanted to leave a workshop with a finished piece.  The only way to achieve completion was the have the students receive their winding draft at month prior to the workshop. In that time they gather the yarn of their choice in the basic color code provided\, wind their warp. And dress their loom and arrive at the workshop ready to weave. \nIn lieu of a workshop\, I offer instruction packets that can be purchased for $50. They include: a horoscope\, a winding draft\, 5 pages of instruction\, 5 pages of support materials and email support for a year. \nPerhaps you will be inspired to create your own
