Workshop dates to be announced

The current good news…I am growing in my desire to revise my workshops… to offer in the near future a more hands on workshop which will not only unleash intuitive creative process, but incorporate practical components. My aim is to break constraints and help artists to create emotive, contemporary abstract artworks that truly represent themselves and portray the feelings they want to express.

OVERVIEW OF THIS WORKSHOP

The Inner Artist: Finding Creative Direction – a two day workshop for creative visual artists, teachers, and designers of all level of expertise.

Do you long to find the artist within, to move outside current boundaries and understand the creative process at a deeper level? When you discover your artist’s inner story, the creative part that is often hidden, the journey is acknowledged and focus increases. You know why you create, and for whom and the path to artistic destiny become clearer. This workshop is given in tutorial form and does include note taking, short exercises, a drawing session with interesting outcomes, and a time for connecting and using all the senses in a short outdoor session.

CONTENT

This workshop covers a lot of material and presents a framework for you to hang your own realisations and discoveries on to explore at a later stage. All change comes at an unconscious level and the workshop is designed to help instigate this transformation, which over time, will result in clearer direction and an understanding of who you are, why you create and for whom. Issues may also be discussed around self worth and managing an art career. Participants who answer the questionnaire on booking will be able to understand better what they are seeking and ensure these areas are covered.

AIMS

The main purpose is for the participants to absorb what is most valuable to them personally and have insights which may enhance development and artistic direction. Within the group there is going to be different levels of understanding and arts practice and the information is hopefully given in a way that expands thinking at all levels.

A debrief and question time will allocated at the end of each day to answer and fulfil any questions or needs so please use this time to enhance your growth and understanding.
