This discounted bundle package is so ideal for any This discounted bundle package is so ideal for anyone who wants to invest in learning the two core parts of my Delysian Colour System, with a view to expanding and progressing their professional services. By the end of both workshops, you’ll have substantially extended your understanding of colour, and learned how to create a narrative map that guides your colour choices for walls, woodwork pairings and accent colours. Plus, you will learn how to layer colour by bending hues softly or bodly and develop a seasoned scheme. Why not bring a room you are woking on and take away colour handling skills that will, ultimately, improve your confidence and professional service to your clients.

This is a totally immersive opportunity to discover new skills, push beyond your comfort zone and learn a systematic approach for creating the foundations that support and direct colour decisions for you, your home and your client projects.
