1. How to overcome your artistic block 

Are you stuck in a rut and can’t break free? I will show you some simple but effective ways to get back on track to creativity.   

A half day talk explains the main truths and causes of artistic block with some demonstrations.

A full day’s talk includes a variety of tasks to help you move on in your own studio. I will also explain and demonstrate 10 different strategies to help you move forward. 

2. How to make your artwork look more professional 

Do you ever feel frustrated that something is missing from your artwork? Do you wonder why your artwork doesn’t have the same professional finish and integrity of other artists?

I will show you in half a day how you can raise the quality of your finished artwork by applying a few simple tricks.

A full day’s talk includes demonstrations and a chance to try out some of the processes. Also included are finishing techniques which artists use to safe guard their work, labelling and framing work.

An ideal chance to bring a piece of your artwork which needs a professional finish.

3. How to find joy in your creative process

I went through a time where my art was filled with trauma and bleak outcomes. I visited the studio less, shied away from shows and my instagram and website ground to a halt. Find out how I pulled myself out of this and found my authentic voice and then my joy. We all have it in us .

A full day’s talk will explain the above in more detail and with more in-depth strategies including practical tasks for the group.

Please note that travel expenses are not included.
