Hey there fellow creative entrepreneur! If you’re looking for a way to take your creative business to the next level, this might be the post for you. Did you know that Spoonflower, the popular custom fabric and wallpaper printing company, has a bi-annual grant that can help you do just that? And the deadline for applying is just around the corner! So read on…

Spoonflower’s free annual Surface Design Symposium is happening this week on Friday the 4th of November, and if you’re into surface pattern design, you won’t want to miss it!

No matter if you’re starting out or know your way around the topic, I think there’ll be something for everyone and a good chance that we can all learn a thing or two. The topics included are all-time favourites and are gonna be delivered by a lineup of amazingly talented artists and designers.

Did you join the free ‘Get Ready for Licensing Challenge’ with Juliet Meeks that I wrote about in my last post? I did, and it was packed with really useful info. I hope you managed to join in and learn a thing or two, like me!

If you want to keep going with the licensing journey, her ‘Licensing for Artists’ course might be the next step, and it’s open now for enrolment, but only until Wednesday 19th January 2022.

I’ve got something exciting to help you get through the January dullness and forget about the sad fact that Christmas is over. I hope you had a lovely one, by the way, with loads of lovely food, presents, movies, and more importantly, your loved ones by your side!

Artist and surface pattern designer Juliet Meeks is running a free event next week: ‘Get Ready to License Challenge: 5 Steps to Prep Your Art and Biz for Licensing’.
