What to expect

For the first time, and by popular demand, we are offering The Artist's Year ONLINE This will be an in person LIVE online course which will run on Mondays, starting on October 5th 2026 The day will be structured to include group presentations and discussions, time for your own studio practice with live tutor support as necessary, work sharing and feedback. We will use a combination of Microsoft Teams or Zoom (to be decided) and Padlet. There will be a maximum of 12 people on this course. This is a year long course for those who would like to spend a day a week developing their skills and their creative practice. To be an artist is to balance the development of skills in making art with the discovery or discernment of your own personal, creative voice. This process takes time and cannot happen in a formulaic way. It requires a willingness to experiment, to be courageous, to take risks, to persevere through frustrations and difficulties, to think analytically about your own and others' work, and above all to work hard! Making lots of work is the only way to grow as an artist. The Artist's Year ONLINE will provide you with the time, support and friendship to do all of these things. Structured around a day a week in three ten week blocks, from October to June, it will include Skills development (drawing, painting, printmaking/3D) Exploring and Experimenting with new media, techniques and processes Art History presentations and discussions Developing a personal creative practice Suggestions for structured gallery visits and field trips Group Crits and discussions Termly private 1:1 tutorial to discuss progress and next steps Each week you will be encouraged to do some work between sessions, such as keeping a sketchbook, reading, or preparing for the following week.
