StretchLearn Course
Master seamless repeats, color workflows, and print-ready files for textiles, wallpaper, and packaging.
Course Overview
This course teaches the craft and commerce of surface pattern design for beginners who can already draw or use design software. You build collections using real repeat structures, professional color workflows, and print-aware file prep. By the end you can produce a cohesive, technically sound pattern collection ready for print-on-demand, licensing, or a manufacturer tech pack.
Learning Outcomes
