Join Albers Foundation Education Director Fritz Horstman for a hands-on workshop exploring some of the topics in his new book Interacting with Color: A Practical Guide to Josef Albers's Color Experiments. Using Color-aid paper, participants will engage with color relativity, the illusion of transparency, and other color phenomena featured in Josef Albers's seminal Interaction of Color, to which Horstman's book is a companion.
