Your Instructor
Hi I'm Anna Brewin. I trained as a Textile Designer and have expanded my work into Graphics and Surface Pattern and worked for a number of years doing freelance work using my various skills.
I have pursued ways of protecting my artwork over the years as I know what I create has value and I have become aware of the whole issue of Intellectual Property in this process.
I have spent time learning about IP and taken this knowledge into proactive action. Many designers do not know about their IP. This course is designed to give designers and artists a basic overview and understanding, so they can be aware and decide if they want to take any further action as a result.
It has been checked by IP experts to ensure the facts are correct.
