SDA SWATCH COLLECTION A A collection of surface design techniques by SDA Members
Surface Design Association Swatch Collections comprise over 225 individual 12” x 12” samples created by SDA members. The samples run the full range of techniques used in surface design. Each Collection contains different surface design technique examples. The samples are not arranged by theme - rather, they are examples from a wide variety of surface design techniques. Each collection will surprise and delight! There is no fee to use a Swatch Collection but you must be a current SDA member. All images in this presentation are subject to copyright.
