This training is for you if. . .
Â
-
You have so many ideas and struggle to know what to focus on.  Â
-
You find it hard to carve out consistent time and momentum in the studio amongst the demands of life.Â
-
You feel isolated in your practice and long for meaningful feedback and conversation.Â
-
You know there is so much more potential in your work, but you are not sure what the path is to reach it.
-
You want your work to be seen, exhibited, collected and taken seriously.Â
In this two-day training, you will learnÂ
Â
01
How to identify the biggest sticking point in your work and use it as a powerful catalyst for growth.
02
A constructive critique framework for evaluating your own work, enabling you to identify strengths and crucial areas for development.
03
How to create focused structures for practice, experimentation and play that support deeper development.
04
Daily practices to help you see with fresh eyes, strengthen your attention and develop greater sensitivity in your work.
05
How to move beyond scattered ideas and develop work with greater depth and direction.
Â
Creating exceptional work draws greater external opportunities and recognition AND provides us, as artists, with a profound sense of progress, fulfillment, and renewed energy to sustain and deepen our arts practice.Â
Â
I want this for my own art, and I want this for the artists I work with.Â

 “I had 6 months to make new work. I started last year but somehow couldn’t get it to work.
Full of doubt, I plugged away until I did the Make Exceptional Work Intro with you earlier this year. That short learning gave me the tools to review the work I had made, so I kept going.
Still uncertain about the new direction, I sent off the work. They loved it, thought it was stunning, and have used the images as their feature image for the exhibition. It is a wake-up call to have more belief in the work I do.
Thanks so much for all your clear and down-to-earth guidance. Whichever program I take part in, there is always a wealth of inspiration and new learning.”
