Build on what you've started

16 April to 1 October 2026

I'm in!

The core elements that an artist needs to master,
both within and outside the studio, remain constant.

What changes is the next level the artist is working towards,
their next challenge, and their next project.

We’ve done significant work together.
This is how we build on it.

Your invitation to Evolve 2026

What remains at the heart of Evolve

A focus on the development of your work, really dialling it in

- with your voice, intention, rigour and risk at the forefront.

Support to build all the pieces of the puzzle you need for your professional

practice so you can get, and create, the opportunities you want for your work.

A collective of talented, knowledgeable, and generous artists

working together to reach their goals.

How support works in Evolve 2026

Instead of individual one-to-one sessions, support now includes:

Weekly open Q&A sessions

A regular touchpoint where you can bring questions, challenges, decisions, or sticking points.

Fortnightly Evolve Consults

Extended sessions with brief one-to-one check-ins with Amy via breakout rooms, to discuss something specific.

Ongoing group critique

Thoughtful, structured feedback from both Amy and your peers

Group writing review

Continued support in refining key written documents to support your practice

Here’s what working together has made possible for artists in Evolve:

“I can never thank you enough for your enormous help in getting the photos, catalogue, and everything sorted and sent. What a crisis-fixer you are. You saved my bacon!”

— Lee Goller

“Since I started the program, I have achieved my goal of setting up a studio at home with my own kiln. I have completed my first year of teaching hand-building with clay to small groups and individuals and developing my own body of work. Two things I have always wanted to be doing together.”

— Sian Roberts-Cameron

The Evolve Resource Library

A growing library of practical resources, including videos, guides, and planning tools, designed to support your practice as needed, with new material added throughout the program.

The Evolve Community

The Evolve Community brings together artists who are serious about their work and generous with each other. You’ll be surrounded by people who understand the realities of practice, who celebrate with you, share opportunities, offer perspective, and remind you that you’re not alone in this. This shared support plays a significant role in helping you grow and excel.

Here’s what this kind of support can do for your confidence as an artist:

“I wanted to let you know that I’ve been invited to be a Friday Feature Artist on the Fibre Arts Take Two platform. I wouldn’t have dared to take the leap if it weren’t for your mentorship and support. I showed up - and didn’t crash and burn - and I’m certain that’s because of our work together in Evolve.”

— Dana Falcini

Those fun-filled, busy months gave me the confidence and ability to articulate my ‘voice’. I felt SUPER CHARGED!! Your personal yet rigorous approach encouraged me to see beyond where I currently stood and reach for a place I had only dreamed about - now it is a reality."
