What you'll learn

The Japanese Seigaiha patterns are ancestral pattern designs, representing waves, seas and oceans. Beatriz Pascual will get you through all the processes to design your own Seigaiha-inspired patterns starting from the very beginning, showing you how to design your own motifs and then assemble them into the pattern layout. Beatriz will show you all the steps to make you confident enough to start creating your own designs and make beautiful art prints to hang on your walls with your favourite Seigaiha patterns.
