Ombré Weaving with Kaci Smith 
45-Minute Recorded Class

Take your weaving to the next level with this focused, advanced color-blending technique. In this recorded class, Kaci Smith walks you through how to create seamless ombre transitions in your woven work — a skill that brings depth, movement, and nuance to any piece.

If you’ve taken Kaci’s Branch Weaving class, you’re already familiar with dovetailing, the foundational stitch that makes smooth color shifts possible. This session builds directly on that knowledge. Kaci shares how to select and sequence yarn shades, how to read color value, and her unique method of using paint to map and test gradient transitions before weaving them.

You’ll come away with:

  • A clear understanding of how to blend yarn colors seamlessly

  • Techniques to expand your palette beyond literal yarn hues

  • A repeatable process you can apply to wall hangings, tapestries, and sculptural weaving

This class is designed for weavers who are comfortable with the basics and ready to experiment with depth and expression through color.

About the Instructor

Kaci Smith

Kaci Smith

Multi-disciplinary Artist

Kaci is a multi-disciplinary artist specializing in two dimensional mixed media with a distinct emphasis on collage, and weaving. Born and raised in a small town in central New Jersey, Kaci has been a resident of California’s vibrant Bay Area since 1996. She holds a BFA in Textile Design from Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, where she was the valedictorian of her class (1995), and the recipient of the prestigious Rohm and Haas Fine Art Achievement Award.

Kaci has worked professionally as a hand-weaver of rugs and upholstery fabrics. Additionally, she dedicated over a decade to starting and running a non-profit organization focused on Urban Forestry in her city of Richmond, California. In 2019, Kaci turned her focus to her art practice and it has gained momentum in the years since. Kaci’s paintings, weavings and collage pieces all begin intuitively and draw inspiration from her lifelong fascination with pattern, the interplay of colors, and global textiles. She enjoys switching back and forth between her mediums and finds the messiness and spontaneity of painting a necessary contrast to the technical and painstaking process of weaving.
