Upcoming Workshop: 2021 Goals Reset
A lot can happen in eight months. Goals shift and priorities change. This week is a time for us to come together as a community and look forward to the rest of 2021. Despite the unexpected changes that life presents, what can we do to move our business or creative practice forward? This course will set you up for success for the remainder of 2021.
Please join us for this one-week workshop which runs from August 30th-September 3rd and is free for all members. We’ll check in with our progress this year and choose a focus for the remainder of 2021.
Upcoming Event: Growing your Business with Laura Olivia
Laura Olivia went from being a freelance textile designer to running her own print studio. In this presentation, Laura will share techniques for how you can grow your business and tips that she learned over the years.
Laura’s presentation is on Monday, July 30th at 10 am Eastern.
Upcoming Event: Illustrator Live with Laura Coyle
In Laura’s upcoming training she’ll be discussing “Fresco to Capture Patterns, and what you can do with these in Illustrator too.
There is a new freeform grid option in the Fresco to Capture pattern maker that makes the pattern feature a lot more useful. Let me know if you have been using it and finding it helpful. We talked about symbols recently, and these patterns now automatically generate symbols when you import them into Illustrator on the desktop – I find that really interesting for all the options it opens up in Illustrator.”
If you have questions for this session, please add them to this thread.
Laura’s next session is on Tuesday, August 31st at 11am Eastern.
