A few weeks ago I entered to win a scholarship for a design class – a class I have been waiting to find, a class I need in order to take my business to the next level. And can you believe it? I WON! I’ve never won anything in my life. And to be awarded something based on my design entry – not just pure luck is pretty exciting.

The class is titled The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design featuring Rachael Taylor
From their own words:
If you have ever dreamt of seeing your designs on stationery, fabric, homewares or other products, sharing your art through pattern, and monetising your designs this groundbreaking course is for you!

‘The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design featuring Rachael Taylor’ is the definitive guide to becoming a surface pattern designer.
I am beyond excited.  I love the idea behind this course – run through a company entitled ‘Do What You Love”. They lead courses, share interviews, and lead retreats all with this common theme – to help people find their passion and do what they love, for life.

This is the pattern I submitted – along with a short essay. You can see the winning announcement here!

This is an e-course and starts Monday! You know what that means! Back to school shopping and some sharp new pencils!

Thank you Print and Pattern and Do What You Love!
