Combining fine art studies and years of experience and personal research and experimentation with traditional and contemporary materials and techniques, the workshops cover tools and methods of art making, such as canvas stretching and priming, oil and watercolour paint making and more.
An often lost part of routine studio practise, the production of one's own art supplies allows artists more autonomy over the quality of surfaces and materials they use, whilst also offering much greater economy.
By being able to participate in the process from beginning to end, artists gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of their artwork and are capable of achieving better results and create artwork of a superior quality.
The classes run monthly on weekends, but alternative days can be arranged if needed.
Working one-on-one is ideal to develop and improve an artist's personal practice. Thanks to the tutor's varied experience with art mediums and languages, and their knowledge of contemporary art history and critical theory, the tutoring sessions can focus on a wide range of themes and issues.
This may include:
Feedback on your work
Technical advice
Support in finding your creative voice
Clarifying your vision
Creating a strong body of work
These sessions are offered at a sliding scale in order to accommodate more artists.
