With Crimson Rose O’Shea, fashion and textile designer

Colour palettes are essential for fashion designers. And being able to develop your own colour story and palette is a skill that you can acquire.

In this one-day workshop, you will learn how to create your own colour story and palette drawing inspiration from the Ashmolean's Victorian Colour Revolution exhibition.

You'll be able to experiment with applying your palette to typical Victorian fashion design templates that you will be given.
