Design with Me - Cathy Jack Coupland
Join Cathy Jack Coupland as she leads a two-day exploration to inspire, encourage and motivate you to design for textile art using processes she knows and uses.
Design With Me will help make Design understandable and relatable to beginners and those who may want to push themselves further to exhibit or design a cohesive body of work.
Design can be so exciting but it needs nurturing and nourishment.
This progressive workshop comprises exercises, examples and resource lists for further self-guided learning to encourage continual growth and individual outcomes, to nourish consistency and produce meaningful, sustainable design.
These concepts are often not even thought about or taught.
If you’ve always wanted to create your own designs or have found it difficult in the past, join this two-day Design With Me workshop with Cathy to gain confidence and learn the skills she utilises to access successful design outcomes.
This is Design the way it should be - enjoyable, expressive and full of emotion.
Don’t be afraid. Be daring and let your self-expression and individuality shine.
Book in now.
Please note: this is not a technique-based workshop. All work will be done using a basic sketchbook and normal drawing materials. Examples will be provided where possible, exercises offered where appropriate along with Bonus Tips, Resource Lists and Checklists to inspire.
