*The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design consists of three modules, taught consecutively with a short break between each one. Each set of three modules is referred to as a ‘Round’. We offer a significant discount and extended classroom access if you sign up for multiple courses together. However in order to benefit from the multi-course discount and extended classroom access you must sign up for Modules from the same Round and take them in immediate succession. Of course you are welcome to join classes from different Rounds if that works better for you, but you will not be eligible for the multi-course discount or extended classroom access if you do this.
