As the Pattern Challenge kicks off this August, we’re here to explore how to draw seamless patterns. From first sketches to final composition, Melanie will show you how she does it all and give you tons of tips and tricks along the way.
This workshop is for anyone looking to get more tips when it comes to creating seamless patterns. Melanie will reveal her whole process and draw along with you - this will be an interactive workshop - bring your ipad and your questions!
Here are some the topics which will be covered:
Prompts, inspirations and moodboards
Sketching
Creating exciting colour palettes
Drawing, creating seamless patterns and adding texture
Saving and exporting your patterns
Finding and using mockups
Mel will be demonstrating how she created the patterns below.

Get ready for some hands-on time! Workshops always start with a little presentation from the host. After this, we all work on whatever theme the workshop is about. Expect audience participation! (But you can also just listen if you’re feeling shy).
The workshop will be recorded. You will be sent a link to the recording post-event.
Ticket fee: £20
