SMASHING COLOR
Colour Lit at Taborspace

For the past four years I have worked with the international Color Literacy Project team to develop up-to-date resources and materials for teachers to explore 21st century color with their students.

I am very excited to offer workshops this summer that include beta-tests exercises and activities from the Color Lit Project.

Color education is changing in schools around the world, and you can be a part of this transformation just as it’s gathering momentum!

Classes take place at the VIA Artistica Studio located at Taborspace in SE Portland, Oregon. The studio is located on the second floor and, unfortunately, is not ADA-accessible.

CREMA, the coffee shop at Taborspace, has a fabulous selection of pastries and drinks. Yum!

Maggie’s classes have ALWAYS been so incredibly eye-opening, fascinating, paradigm-shifting, enlightening, mind-bending at times, and just plain FUN!

COLOUR LIT WORKSHOPS

Have fun learning about color as a meta-discipline!
Each of these three summer workshops combine exercises from the first two series in the Colour Literacy Project - the Eye Opener Series and the STEAM Series.

Featuring engaging, hands-on activities, all three of the workshops are focused on learning how to see, describe, and use color to the greatest effect.
