Wellness has become increasingly important in our society. How can we answer this need through the products and patterns we create?

In this two week workshop we'll take a deep dive into the wellness industry and explore what it means to your business and creative process. You’ll identify ways to address this societal shift in the products and patterns you create and also explore wellness practices that can be incorporated in your life; to strengthen your creative practice.

Week One

"What is wellness? How does wellness differ among various customers? How can I incorporate wellness in the patterns and products I create?" These are the questions that we'll explore through a video tutorial released on Day One.
