Repeat Patterns
One of the earliest uses of relief printing was to create elaborately decorated textiles at a cheaper rate than the traditional weaving methods, and later it became a large part of wallpaper design & production. Following in this tradition and embracing printmaking’s unique capability to create multiples, you will design your own repeat pattern.
When designing your pattern, think about what you want to communicate. Organize your pattern around a central theme. What elements can you use to best explore that theme? Figures? Animals? Geometry? Objects? A combination of these?
