Workshop: Design a Pattern in Procreate with Mandy Corcoran

I'm Teaching at Apple — Here's How You Can Join Me

I’m thrilled to officially announce that I’ll be leading a Today at Apple workshop at the Apple Carnegie Library in Washington DC on:

🗓 Saturday, April 26 at 2 PM EST
📍 Apple Carnegie Library, DC
🔗 Reserve your free spot here

The session is titled:
Workshop: Design a Pattern in Procreate with Mandy Corcoran
…which still feels surreal to say!

This event is completely free, beginner-friendly, and packed with creative inspiration, hands-on demos, and exclusive resources you won’t get anywhere else.

What You’ll Learn at the Workshop

In this live session, I’ll walk you through how to design a fun, layout-style composition using Procreate on iPad — with tools I created just for you.

You’ll get to play with a set of my custom Procreate stamp brushes, featuring whimsical, fruit-inspired motifs like:

• 🍓 Strawberries

• 🍋 Lemons

• 🍒 Cherries

• 🍊 Orange slices

• 🍐 Pears

• 🍃 Leaves and mini details for texture and balance

You’ll create a polished, pattern-inspired design without needing to sketch a thing. It’s a great intro to surface design principles — like balance, spacing, scale, layering, and color harmony — all taught in a totally approachable way.

No prior experience with Procreate? You’re exactly who this is for. 🧡

My Journey to the Apple Store (Spoiler: It Started with a Gift)

Back in 2018, my husband gave me an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil for Christmas. It was love at first sketch.

I downloaded Procreate, started experimenting with drawing again, and quickly realized that digital tools were the perfect fit for my tech-meets-art brain.

Fast forward to today — I’ve taught thousands of creatives how to use Procreate and Photoshop to build pattern collections, license their art, and launch creative businesses. And now?
I get to teach in person at Apple’s flagship DC store. (😭)

This Workshop Is for You If…

• You’ve ever opened Procreate and felt overwhelmed

• You want to create beautiful designs without needing to freehand every detail

• You’ve been curious about pattern design, but didn’t know where to start

• You’re craving a creative reset in a space that feels inspiring

You’ll leave the workshop with a finished digital composition, a boost of confidence, and some serious creative momentum.
