SHAPES & PATTERNS Look at different fabrics and ceramics, photographs, and think about how individual lines and marks work in conjunction with each other.

TEXTURE Everything we touch has a unique texture. Whether creating designs with thick, oily paint, waxing a fine, ultra smooth finish or ageing a piece of wood by making it look rough and battered.

NATURE A constant source of inspiration, nature is diverse, readily available and ever evolving. Plants, trees, flowers all offer a range of inspiring colours, shapes and themes for different decorative designs.

LIGHT & COLOUR Like nature, light and colour are everywhere. in fact all colour is contained within light, as it gets absorbed or is bounced off a surface. Colour can be strong and bold or soft and subtle.
