Tartan Design

Description

Want to try something new a try your hand at tartan design? This course will consist of two 3-hour tutorials with interactive content, and design development included. We also offer extra time for tartan registration if required. This course will be using Zoom conferencing and screen-sharing throughout.

The first part of the course will start by introducing tartan and the design process. Over the course of the tutorial, I will present my tartan portfolio and explain how tartan can reflect modernity and freshness in modern tartans. I'll introduce you to various design tools and give you ideas on how to develop your own design equipping you with the knowledge to find inspiration to design your tartan.

After the first session, you will be given some time to build your ideas before joining me online for session two. The second part of the course will encompass various techniques and design elements using weaving CAD software to bring your tartan design into visualisation. Exploring your ideas and evolving your final design. After the course, you will have designed and created your tartan. *If you are a weaver, the course can be tailored to develop the design into weaving plans. Offered during the tutorial is the opportunity to design the tartan into a logo or brand design.

From colour to design, I will guide you through the process of tartan; this is an excellent gift for families, wedding, birthdays and graduations. After the course, if any ideas or designs still need adjusting before registration, full design support will be on offer via email or Zoom.

*Please note that you would need to pay an additional £70 to the Scottish Tartan Register if you intended to have the tartan registered as an official design. This is not included in the course costs.

The course runs a flexible booking policy please request a day and time and I'll confirm availability.
