This image is my favorite. It comes from week2, week featuring Fabric as the guest-star! Fabric is really a substrate I’m enjying working on. The embellishments are endless and even if I didn’t used all possibilities, I love the fact it can appear in many forms, volumes. And the play with scales on patterns. I was very excited to propose a plaid also, I’d love to get one like this. I even got the cushions printed as I so enjoyed what comes for this Home Decor’s 5 weeks !
How did the Home Décor class help you grow?
It gives the self-confidence to present a shw about children fashion. I work as a children illustrations’ illustrator. I also do a lot of patterns but for paper use as stationery, origami, activities for children…
What did you discover about yourself?
I’d love to work in textile but I needed a little hand in my back to go and the work done during these 5 weeks helped me to get self-confidence. Also it gives me pieces to present at the show. Deadlines, community support are great to grow. And I love how Lilla teaches ! So energizing !
How would you describe the course to a friend?
With all the precious advice and teaching about embellishments, possibilities of substrates, it was really rewarding ! It was really a fun part of the assignments to write the explanations’ board, using all these new learning’s. This course was really intense!

This is my entry for Home Décor ceramic week, Fiorin Fiorello, the board I loved most because it exactly reflects my idea of having fun while creating. I had a lot of fun in making it. Moreover… I adore my chickens!
How did the Home Décor class help you grow?
It gave me the freedom to trust in my own style. I learned how to face challenges without feeling frightened or inadequate. Does my style look less appealing than others? No fears. As Lilla says… there’s room for all of us out there.
What did you discover about yourself?
I’ve discovered myself stronger as an artist and more aware of my abilities then I was before.
How would you describe the course to a friend?
All MATS courses are eye opening, this one in particular. It may change the way you live you own art. I surely recommend it.

I really like this image that I created for the final week of Home Decor. It is a conglomeration of the products I worked on over the course of the 5 weeks. I chose the Farm Fresh mood board and it provided a tremendous amount of inspiration. In addition I created a Pinterest board to add even more of my own inspirations and expand on the theme.
Ceramic week was my favourite, not just because I love the substrate, but I got over my fear of hand lettering and now I love it! I feel like my products and presentation really came together in my style.How did the Home Décor class help you grow?

Want a piece of the $60 Billion Home Decor industry?
What is home décor? It’s all the gorgeous and/or functional items in your house. It’s a booming market that needs tons of art, with over $60 billion in annual sales. Its massive growth is due in part to the popularity of home design TV shows, Pinterest, and Instagram, and stylish online retailers like One Kings Lane and Dot&Bo.
Art directors NEED your great art!
Our next live e-course, Make Art That Sells: Creating Collections for Home Décor starts May 16 and teaches you everything you need to know to create killer presentations with your art. Registration is open and we look forward to seeing your gorgeous designs.
