“Since taking this course and implementing Ashleigh’s teachings, my overall reach on Pinterest has improved tremendously! It brought me my first two licensing enquiries which is incredibly exciting for me.”
- frankie wSound familiar?You're creating beautiful work. And it's sitting in a folder where nobody can find it.
You've done the hard part. You can design. You have patterns you're genuinely proud of.
But right now, the only people seeing your work are your Instagram followers, and only if the algorithm decides to show them.
You post, you get a few likes, and then it disappears in 24 hours. You start again tomorrow. You're on a treadmill that never moves you forward.
Meanwhile, art directors are actively searching Pinterest for designers like you. Right now. Looking for exactly the kind of work you create.
They're just not finding you.
-
Your Instagram posts vanish in 24 hours.
Your pins stay discoverable for months, sometimes years. You're spending time on the wrong platform.
-
Get Found by brands
Art directors are searching Pinterest. If you're not there strategically, you're invisible to the people who matter most.
-
You don't need more designs.
You need the ones you already have to be seen by the right people.
introducingPinterest for Surface Designers

You already have the designs. This workshop gives them somewhere to go, and a system that keeps working for you long after you've logged off.

your teacherHey, I’m Ashleigh Fish, Pinterest teacher for art licensing.
I'm a watercolour artist and surface pattern designer from Wellington, New Zealand. I've licensed over 100 patterns with brands including RJR Fabrics, Studio Oh, Alice & Ames, Sand + Fog, Hawthorne Supply Co, Loomwell, and Carriage House Printery.
I do it all within school hours as a mum of two young kids.
Pinterest was one of the two things that changed everything for me. I stopped chasing visibility on Instagram and built a system that brings licensing enquiries to me instead. This workshop is exactly what I wish I'd had earlier.
I'm not a few decades ahead of you. I'm a few steps ahead on the same path, and I want to make it a little smoother for whoever comes next.
“I really enjoyed this Pinterest workshop. Even though I was already familiar with how to use Pinterest I learned some great tips from Ashleigh. I loved her no fluff, straight-to-the-point teaching. It was super helpful to learn how Ashleigh uses Pinterest as a surface designer - I really appreciated her tips and advice on ways to share your work on the platform and be noticed by companies looking to license artwork. There are many courses out there on how to use Pinterest but this was the first one I found that was relevant to surface designers. If you are a designer, illustrator, or artist I highly recommend this course.”
— Amy ThakrarFrequently asked questions (FAQs)
A few things people ask before joining-
No. A lot of designers hold off because they think they need a full website first, but that's not true. I show you exactly what to do if you don't have one yet so you can start getting your work seen right away.
-
Chances are you didn't have a strategy in place. Random pinning doesn't work. This workshop gives you a clear system, from setup and pin creation to SEO and scheduling, so your pins actually get found and saved by the right people.
-
Pinterest builds over time rather than overnight, and that's the point. Pins you create today can keep working for months or years. Most designers start seeing real traction within a few weeks if they follow the system consistently.
-
Yes. I screen-share the exact steps so you can follow along. No fancy tools, no Canva Pro required. If you can copy and paste, you can do this.
-
You can go through the core lessons in a day and start pinning immediately. Then you keep coming back as your Pinterest grows.
-
Because this is a digital product with instant access, I don't offer refunds. I'm confident that if you go through the lessons and apply the system, you'll see results, and I'm here to support you if you get stuck.
