Surface Pattern Design and Cushion Making – Start now!
An interiors masterclass with Rachael Taylor and Simion Hawtin-Smith
If you have a passion for pattern, interiors, and hands-on projects, then you’ll love this innovative creative course! This collaborative online masterclass will firstly guide you in creating your own surface pattern designs, ready for application on fabric and textiles. With your gorgeous custom fabric in hand, you’ll then craft your very own bespoke cushion for your home. This course is creative, technical and hands-on, and is perfect for anyone who has dreamed of seeing their own designs in the home. Not only that – these cushions (which show YOUR designs in a gorgeous 3D format) are a fantastic way to demonstrate the commercial appeal of your work at a trade show or event!
This new course will be led by two successful creatives: renowned surface pattern designer, stylist and coach Rachael Taylor + vintage chair enthusiast and upholsterer Simion Hawtin-Smith (as seen on BBC’s Money for Nothing)!
Rachael and Simion are both experts and innovators in design, and with their guidance, you’ll not only learn to create gorgeous surface pattern designs – you’ll also understand how they translate onto fabric, and how to use that fabric to create one of the most popular interior accessories: the throw cushion. Here are some extra features about this fun masterclass that you can look forward to:
→ Beginner and Advanced techniques offered (open to all skill levels)
→ Unique detailing techniques complete with bespoke reverse panels and zip placement
→ Digital pattern making taught with clear screen-captured videos, voiceover and transcripts (and in the latest version of industry standard Adobe software)
