FREE WORKSHOP | AUGUST 11-15
From Paint to Fabric
WITH SARAH WATTS
Are You Ready?
August 11-15 | Free Workshop!
Turn your traditional artwork into seamless repeat patterns—all in just five days!
Whether you're curious about surface design or finally ready to open Photoshop for the first time, this free challenge will walk you through the exact steps I use to digitize artwork, clean it up, and build repeat patterns with personality and style.
Each day, you'll get a bite-sized video lesson (released at 11AM EST) inside Pattern + Process, our private creative community. You'll also get access to Q+A time and the kind of artist-to-artist encouragement that makes learning feel joyful.
What You’ll Learn:
How to prep and digitize your artwork (even if it’s messy or layered)
Easy Photoshop tools to clean up and isolate your art
How to build repeat patterns that actually tile
Tips for mocking up your designs on real products
Creative momentum that carries into future projects
But How Much Is It?
This workshop will be FREE from now until August 26! Want more time with the replays? We’ll have those available to purchase if you need more time!

Who’s Teaching This?
Hi! I’m Sarah Watts—artist, surface designer for Ruby Star Society, stationery brand founder, and the nerd behind Pattern + Process. I’ve been doing this professionally since 2008, and what I love most is helping artists like you build creative confidence and learn digital tools without burnout
Working with lots of companies in both illustration and fabric design have each taught me a LOT about taking analog art into a digital world and I’m so excited to pass on that knowledge to you!
It's now easier than ever to start a product line with access to print on demand. The very first step in this process is to get your work digitized. Then you can design things like:
Fabric • Gift wrap • Gift bags • NFTs • Cell phone cases • Laptop cases • Tote bags • Zip pouches • Quilts • Baby blankets • Wallpaper • Rugs • Art Prints • Books • Stationery • Coffee Mugs • Tshirts • Dresses • Enamel pins • Patches • Lampshades • Pillows • Furniture • Tea towels • Canisters • Handbags • Stickers • Bedding • Journals• Tissue Paper • Washi Tape • Water Bottles • and more!
