From our Co-founder Rachael Taylor:
“Winter Design School is an incredible way to start of the new year!
We are so very proud of all of the talent, contagious energy and the continuous community support shown during and after the event – what an amazing community we have. Every year our seasonal schools, consistently raise the bar higher and higher and we find it so very hard to pick our winners out of the hundreds of gorgeous submissions. We say it each year but honestly Winter School is such a highlight for us and as we look forward to hearing what comes next in your bright futures in surface pattern design and we want to thank you all so much for taking part. Plus we hope to see you back again for Summer School coming up at the end of July! Rachael xoxo”
PRIZE DRAW WINNERS – TREND BRIEFS
During Winter Design School 2024 we held a prize draw to win places on 3 of our online courses from the Make it in Design school! Entrants were required to simply submit work to the online submission galleries for the trend design briefs in their TRACK and subsequently were entered into the prize draw. That was it – it’s not based on favourites or skill – it’s the luck of the draw so everyone had the chance to win!
