Instructor's Courses

Hello! I'm Ellie Shipman, an artist, illustrator and pattern designer based in Bristol, UK, and working globally, recently living in Vietnam for a year. I create playful, bold illustrations and interactive, participatory artwork exploring sustainability, women and wellbeing.

I studied Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art, UAL, before working in the third sector and as a freelance artist. I later studied a Masters in Sustainable Development at UWE, Bristol, alongside my creative practice and aim to embed my values of sustainability and community in all I do.

I am also a participatory artist with over ten years' experience working on exhibitions and installations with diverse community groups, from refugee women to older people with dementia to school children and academic researchers amongst others.

Here on Skillshare I am a Top Teacher and teach classes on textile design and illustration and the wondrous process of seeing your artwork come to life on fabric. Come and learn with me!

Announcement:

I am very excited to announce my new class has just launched! Come and learn how to collect inspiration from your natural surroundings to create your own unique patterned wallpaper, which you can then print and install in your own home!

I will guide you through every step, from drawing by hand out in nature, to making inky marks using natural objects, to digitally drawing motifs in Procreate, then building the repeat pattern and adding digital textures in Illustrator.
