The Repertoire is a 9-week online course and enrollment for the 2023 course will open in August.

After the course is finished you keep access to the 2023 course and can retake it as many times as you want.

The Repertoire course is not for beginners.

It's for you who have begun your pattern design studies and know the foundations of what surface pattern design means. 

You should also at least have created a few digital pattern repeats before, even if very basic. You need to know your way around Illustrator, or be proficient in other programs like Photoshop and can figure out how to "translate" my steps in Illustrator to your preferred app.

If you have created patterns for a while already, or even are a professional, you may breeze through some of the most basic tutorials. But you will also get lessons on pattern history, and we will do style studies that will help you see the patterns with new perspectives. We will work a lot with how you can use the inspiration you find in classic styles and make your own interpretation, add your own twist and create something new and novel.

And I can guarantee that you will find lots of new inspiration ;-).

If you feel that you can't draw, you have actually come to the perfect place, because in Repertoire you will learn super helpful methods and techniques for drawing different types of motifs. And the drawing tutorials show you exactly how. In fact, Repertoire is going to guide you through practicing and developing your drawing.

And, you will also learn that there are so many ways to create patterns and motifs. In many cases you don't even have to draw :-)

The 2023 Repertoire course costs 997 USD.

Or 385 USD/month with the 3-month payment plan (Grand total of 1155 USD).

With the 3-month payment plan you will be automatically charged on the same day each month for 3 months, starting on the day of your enrollment.

The Repertoire course comes with a 14-day 100% money-back guarantee. If you are unhappy with the course in the first 14 days, you will get a full refund.

As I use Adobe Illustrator to create the final repeating pattern in my design process, this is the program that will be used in examples and tutorials where we work on the digital steps.

I will not use or teach Photoshop or other apps, but there will be a couple of demonstrations on how you can use an iPad and Procreate in your process.

But if you prefer other programs than Illustrator, and are proficient in them, you will be able to "translate" the steps I do in Illustrator and apply them to your process. 

There are many lessons and tutorials where we won't use Illustrator as well.

I recommend that you set aside 1-3 hours a day for watching lessons and practicing the techniques you will learn, alternatively 1-2 full days each week.

Repertoire is self paced and you can choose to follow along with the curriculum as the modules and lessons are released each week, or you can choose to watch them at your own pace. And as you have unlimited access to the 2022 course, even after the 8 weeks have come to an end, you can come back and rewatch as many times as you want and need. So there is no missing out, or falling behind.

No, you will not learn about the business side of surface design in Repertoire. There will be no lessons about marketing your work, how to contact companies, licensing your work or print-on-demand services.

Repertoire is all about learning the craft, becoming knowledgable about patterns and acquire tools and techniques for creating different types of patterns and motifs.

It's about learning to create a wide range of patterns - to learn the rules and so that you can then break them with confidence :-)

In Repertoire you will learn about over 30 other pattern types and historic styles that you will not find on Skillshare.

Over the years I have published a lot of classes, lessons and tutorials about creating patterns and pattern history, first on Skillshare, then on my website and blog and then in the Evolution membership. But all of this has been about one topic at a time, a piece here and there and not created to be watched in a specific order. For a long time I’ve wanted to create some order to this, to find a logical start and end, something that starts with the most simple patterns and then gradually grows in complexity. 

And so Repertoire is a compilation (and new versions) of all these classes, lessons and tutorials that I have created in different places over the years - plus many new and never before published. 

So yes, I’m also including the pattern styles I teach on Skillshare, but with re-recorded material. And since it has been several years since I published some of these courses I have developed and refined my techniques to create patterns inspired by them. So for Repertoire I have updated and improved the lessons, tutorials and exercises, with new material.

The specific lessons on the history behind the pattern styles have also been refined and improved, but the facts and information is the same, since history hasn’t changed that much in the past couple of years (he, he).
