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 6: Repeat Patterns

Learn how to take a singular motif and transform it into a repeating pattern. Bring a page from your sketchbook or take inspiration from our library of design swatches. Start with a single sketch and we’ll teach you how to find the jog line and create a repeat pattern by hand.
