Thank you for your generous offer of time to help a student learn!
Colour analyst training courses are held in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada.
Models must be available in-person.
Student colour analysts drape 6 models (and themselves as the 7th). Courses are private, with one student per 4-day training session.
Models must be at least 18 years of age or accompanied by a parent.
Volunteers are appreciated. Please contact me to express your interest, either via the Contact form or by emailing me directly (christine@12blueprints.com). I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
If you contact me by email, please include a photograph (no filters or sunglasses, makeup is OK). The photo helps me ensure that the student sees a variety of colouring types. These photographs are never shared and are deleted from my files once the modelling has taken place, or at any other time upon request.
Once the date is scheduled, I will contact you by email 10-14 days prior to the session to confirm our appointment and share directions to the colour studio.
The colour analysis will take about 3 hours. The model simply sits in front of a mirror while fabrics of various colours are placed across their shoulders and the student learns how to identify the model's Season. The studio is private, no photographs are taken, information is not shared, and no record is kept of the experience.
Please note that models are contacted according to the following:
- Priority may be given to male models (or women who bring men for the second session of the day), as they may be less available.
- Persons of darker complexion may be contacted sooner for the student to experience diversity of skin tones.
- Members of the same family are a welcome opportunity for the student to see inheritance patterns and people of different ages whose colouring might be similar or extremely different.
The model receives:
- the complete colour analysis and knowledge of their Season (natural colouring).
- a demonstration of how to use their colour palette, with an invitation to bring 3-4 items of clothing for practice.
- the opportunity to purchase the full size colour palette for their Season for CN70.00 + PE HST 15% = CN80.50. Because availability of the 12 palettes cannot be guaranteed, there may be a brief delay in providing your palette.
