Where: Chattanooga Workspace, 302 W. 6th St.

What's your process for selecting a paint color for your home? In this class, we will go beyond "well, that's a pretty color." We will talk about lighting both artificial and natural; how it affects a room. We'll also discuss what color environment you and your family needs. Do you need energy, do you need calm, do you have a family member that is sensory sensitive? Amy Winchester, who will be leading the class, is owner of AW Interiors and a Porter Paint Color Consultant. She is a Certified Colour Specialist from the International Colour Society and was previously the district director of the Chattanooga American Society of Interior Designers. She is currently a mentor to UTC design students and is a member of the UTC Interior Design Advisory Board.
