The e-course, The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design, finished a few weeks ago, but many of the students have stayed in touch through a facebook group.
As we gradually branch out in our different directions, we still have enough common ground for this group to provide much-needed moral support as we face a diversity of challenges. And, as part of that, I've offered to showcase work by members of the group on a monthly basis.
Finding our 'Signature Style' has been difficult for most of us but we're getting there! So for the first showcase, I suggested that we should choose a pattern that represents our style as closely as possible.
Here they are, in alphabetical order of first name:
