WEDNESDAYS- 9.30am - 4pm
Paintbox Studios, Cockenzie House & Gardens, East Lothian
Tutor- Jemma Derbyshire
Full year course £1900 (inc VAT)
Termly fee arrangements are available
This course is designed for practicing Artists who require professional input into their work to deepen the integrity of their practice. Over the course of the year, Artists will be challenged to push their boundaries, think about how they approach their practice, develop ideas and sustain bodies of work. If you feel you need to shake things up and push your work to the next level - this course is for you!
The first term will have a number of guided projects to challenge the way you think about your work and help push you, achieving things you didn’t know you were capable of! These will include a drawing project, a large scale site specific project, a collaborative project and an artist book project. There will be an emphasis on analysing how you work, identifying goals and ‘upping the anti’ of your work as an Artist. Looking at how to “run your business” as an Artist, from setting up your website, building a social media presence, documenting your work, working with galleries and applying for competitions/grants/exhibitions will all be covered as part of the course.
During the course of the year there will also be a study trip, drawing days at a variety of exciting locations and talks and demonstrations from a variety of Artists.
The year culminates in a professional group exhibition at a well known central Edinburgh Gallery.
This is an intensive, fast paced 30 week course and requires commitment and a minimum of 10 hours a week of working on your own work at home on top of the course schedule.
Talking about your work in the form of crits and tutorials will be a vital element of the course.
Interviews are held for this course.
