Chloe Russell Chang
Digital Class
Have you ever wanted to design your own fabric? This four-week digital introductory workshop to digital surface design is for you! Using Procreate for iPad, learn the fundamentals of creating custom repeatable patterns for printing fabrics on Spoonflower. Explore basic pattern types including mirrored repeats, half-drop repeats, full-drop repeats, and seamlessly repeating toss patterns. Learn how to create a repeat pattern using tools, and then create digital patterns using Procreate software on your iPad. Gain skills for adjusting DPI, color settings, and project size, as well as how to use basic digital software tools including those for erasing, adjusting brush size, and creating layers.
Designing repeat patterns using digital tools opens up a world of possibilities for customizing products on Spoonflower and through drop-shipping services like Redbubble, Society6, and more. Beginners welcome! In addition to a device for joining the Zoom meeting, all participants must have an iPad and download the Procreate software before the start of class. Please note that this 4-week class series will not cover an introduction to using ProCreate. If you are new to ProCreate and would like instruction for how to use this software, please join our ProCreate Add-On Class on September 29.
