ABOUT THIS COURSE
Expanding Your Practice is for artists working in any medium who wish to transform aspects of their creative practice. Creative practice can refer to the habits of making, sharing and disseminating work: to the ongoing engagement with subject matter, processes, influences, ideas, contexts, materials, tools, skills, research and networks.
Feedback for Expanding Your Practice:
“The ‘Expanding Your Practice’ course was absolutely the right course at the right time for me. It has given me new ways of thinking about my work. The encouragement from Kate and peers was such a support. I wish I had completed this course before doing an MA - the clarity would have helped enormously!”
“Through the course I have reconnected with my sense of self and it has reminded me to be more creative on every level.”
“Being able to see my work as more cohesive, and through the eyes of others who were very generous with their time and feedback, has given me a huge boost in confidence about my practice.”
