About This Workshop
This is the first workshop in a 5 part series. The series builds on each other, taking the student from concept to pattern, pattern to collection, and collection to portfolio. While students have opportunity to take the entire series, you are not required to.
During this session, you’ll learn everything you need to know about Adobe Illustrator, how to gather inspiration, sketch and illustrate. I’ll walk you through the essential steps in my class: Intro to Surface Pattern Design, where you’ll learn how to choose a theme, sketch with ease, scan with best practices, illustrate and make repeating patterns. At the end of this workshop, you’ll have 3 repeating patterns designed from your very own sketches. The perfect beginning to a complete pattern collection! If you’re ready to start making beautiful motifs and patterns, this workshop is for you!
If you’d like to join the entire 5 part series, we’d love to have you! Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned pro, this 5 part series will be engaging as it prompts you to create new work and advance your career in pattern design. You’ll get lots of feedback on your work + any questions answered along the way.
