Today we are pleased to feature the textile design collections of two incredibly talented designers from two of our students: Lisa Rivas and Femi Ford. Lisa and Femi both created stellar collections in the course and were kind enough to share several of their prints with us today along with some insights into their Sellable Sketch experiences.
Prior to taking the Sellable Sketch, Lisa Rivas “had no idea how to handle the field of Surface & Textile Design and had come up to a blank wall.” Over the six week workshop we watched her thrive in the “small and serious” course environment, with “individual attention that makes students deliver and show-up.” Lisa’s collection started from images of her customer, “a sophisticated and well known elderly super model for the high-end fashion houses,” and grew into the lovely, carefully crafted pieces seen above. Lisa was inspired by “a piece of artwork done with my signature method of batik and watercolor and I was determined not to lose my personal style.” Lisa not only stayed true to her fine art roots, but was able to leave the course with “an amazing “blueprint method” in designing a successful and desirable textile collection. I gained the knowledge of how to go about gathering and assembling information on a specific client or market and then creating the designs that would be a perfect fit for them.”
