Repeat Yourself: 1-Day Illustrator Pattern Workshop

About

"Unlock the power of pattern-making in Adobe Illustrator in this hands-on, one-day workshop with graphic designer and Illustrator specialist Paul Smith. Whether you're a crafter, designer, or maker looking to bring your illustrations to life on textiles, packaging, or print-on-demand products, this class is for you.

You’ll learn how to create beautiful, seamless vector patterns from scratch, using both traditional techniques and Illustrator’s built-in pattern tools. From sketching motifs to building repeats and exporting professional artwork, you'll walk away with a finished pattern (or two!) and the skills to keep creating.
Ideal for anyone with basic Illustrator experience – crafters, artists, illustrators, printmakers and Etsy sellers all welcome.

What we’ll cover:
- Types of repeat patterns (block, half-drop, mirror, etc.)
- Creating custom motifs from scratch
- Seamless pattern building by hand and using Illustrator's Pattern Tool
- Tips for applying patterns to real products
- Exporting for print, digital, or print-on-demand

You’ll leave with:
- Your own seamless pattern(s)
- A digital toolkit of resources
- A clear process you can reuse again and again"
