Textile Design Workshop

Learn how you can create your own textile designs from your paintings or drawings using Tracy’s fast track method.

Tracy will teach you her proven system for producing great artworks for printed surfaces allowing you to unleash your creativity and create fabric designs you never expected you could.

You will discover how you can find untapped inspiration for your designs and product ideas to open up the possibilities for you with what you can create from your print designs.

Learn how to manually test your repeat prints, so that even if you have no computer skills you can check and perfect your designs before passing on to a graphic artist to prepare the digital repeat for you.
