About This Event

Join us for an evening of pure color theory magic in our hands-on workshop designed for anyone looking to enhance their design skills!

Led by award-winning interior designer Caryn Grossman, you’ll do a deep dive into the world of color with expert guidance. Learn how to make thoughtful color choices by using the color wheel and exploring the latest design trends. We’ll start with a brief history of color theory and its many applications then move on to interactive exercises that bring these concepts to life and your design choices to the next level!

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have the powerful tools to transform any space or project with coordinated colors that work harmoniously together. Whether you’re planning to tackle a single room or an entire home, planning an event, working to build a new business identity, tasked with set decoration for a film, or working as an industry creative in fields such as photography, tattooing, painting, automotive, web design, fashion design, graphic design, or just color curious, after this workshop you’ll walk away with your very own color wheel and new skills to create stunning, unified designs. Join us for an evening of creativity and inspiration!

  • Caryn Grossman relishes the challenge of discovery, constantly striving for projects that stretch the bounds of her knowledge. She and her team at cg interiors group are driven by boundless curiosity, with each new project presenting an opportunity to explore and create anew. Telling the client’s story is at the heart of everything they do.

    Awards include first prize in MODA’s own exhibition, Design Challenge: The South's Next Wave, showcasing the work of top architecture and design firms across the southeast. The firm’s adaptive reuse of two historic warehouses, featuring an interior palette of sustainable materials, received the Atlanta Downtown Design Excellence Award and was a finalist in the SPARK International Design Awards. Caryn has been named Best of Atlantanumerous times, as well as a Top 10 Atlanta Interior Designer. Caryn and her firm were recently named to Architectural Digest’s new AD PRO Directory, a carefully curated and by-invitation-only selection of the country’s top interior design professionals.

    Not only an accomplished designer, Caryn is also an inquisitive and enthusiastic teacher, with courses including a special curriculum at alma mater Savannah College of Art and Design, and continuing education courses at Georgia State’s Clayton campus. Teaching, she says, keeps her freshly challenged and constantly learning, imperatives for both her life and her designs.

    Caryn is an active member of the American Society of Interior Designersand was also a founding board member of Adopt a Greyhound Atlanta and The Creatives Project, an Atlanta-based nonprofit focused on addressing critical needs in artist housing, arts education, and outreach.
