Go deep into the world of contemporary pattern design! Drawing from our extensive archive, including artist boxes in our collection, we’ll explore hand-drawn pattern design techniques, tools, and themes inspired by the works of past Artists-in-Residence. At the end of this six-part class, leave with a portfolio of pattern studies and paper prints documenting the evolution of your own designs.

Week 5: Self Portrait Patterns

Artists John Killacky and Jonathan Lyndon Chase have used dissolving and transitioning faces to explore the complexity of the self and the body. Experiment with additive and reductive mono printing techniques to create your own expressive self-portrait patterns.
