Make Exceptional Work focuses on the work itself.

My experience as both an artist and mentor is that the quality of the work influences many of the opportunities that follow. Exhibitions, sales, commissions and recognition are often built upon the strength of the work underneath them. I can't promise exhibitions, awards or sales. But I do believe that stronger work improves the likelihood of all three.

That is what this program is designed to support.

Absolutely. We have had ceramicists, painters, collage artists, print makers, textile artists, sculptors, photographers, and more in the program. 

The focus of the program is not medium-specific techniques. It is about developing stronger work. 

The conversations we have around focus, experimentation, evaluation, artistic voice, rigour and development apply across disciplines.

You don't need to arrive with exceptional work. The purpose of the program is to develop it.

Artists join at many different stages of their practice. What matters most is curiosity, commitment and a willingness to engage with the process.

Most artists I work with are balancing art alongside work, family and other commitments.

The aim is not to create more pressure, but to help you make better use of the time you already have.

Often a small amount of focused attention is more powerful than waiting for large blocks of time that never arrive.

Each session is recorded and available to view during the program.

While I encourage artists to attend live whenever possible, you won't fall behind if you need to miss a session.

Wonderful.

This program isn't about fixing bad work. It's about helping artists understand what their work might need next.

Many of the artists who join are already producing strong work and are looking to deepen, refine or extend their practice.

You're welcome too.

Sometimes artists join because they are actively making. Sometimes they join because they want to reconnect with their practice. Both are valid starting points.

Many artists return to the program. The principles remain the same, but the work is different.

The questions you are asking are different. You are different.

In my experience, artists often discover new insights when they revisit the material with fresh eyes and a different body of work in front of them.
