Product Description
International Color Workshop is held in beautiful Mariefred, beside green meadows and the lake of Mälaren.
We start the workshop on June 24th in Stockholm and before taking off to the workshop venue by bus we start with an introduction course, NCS in Design. Here you will get practical tips and professional tools to be able to work unhindered with colour communication during the upcoming workshop and in your daily work.
The workshop is then continued in Mariefred a Color Trend Talk that culminates in an inspiring project. Together with experts in various fields, we dive into colour, light and material, and work with the entire colour design process. From understanding a colour to how you can work with colour in a context and create harmonizing color combinations.
