Wander Out Yonder - Toot Your Horn, Beat Your Drum - Setting our FOCUS & Finding our PATH.
A foundation session focused specifically on HOW to develop our own original visual art.
Where do our ideas come from? How do we extract them and develop work that is uniquely US? How do we stop looking at what others do and find our own voice.
Sit down with Fi to go thru this ground shifting talk and think and do session.
Its for you if:
you have learnt some skills but struggle to know what you want to do with them and what you want to make your art about.
You get distracted by what others do and always find yourself comparing your work or wishing it looked like someone elses.
You scroll for hours loving 20 different styles and subjects that overwhelm you with inspiration.
If you struggle to come up with ideas - or to find your own unique style - this is for you.
All these issues are common and Fi has worked thru them herself - finding in the end her own pathway and a deep understanding of what her art means to her and what its purpose is for her and others.
With social media and a tsunami of great images at our finger tips - how do we switch back into ourselves.
No matter if you are a beginner or someone with advanced practice - a bit disillusioned, broken or worn out - you will benefit from this session.
The purpose of this group is to spill our cards infront of ourselves - and find the uplift and confidence that puts us on the track to personal creative freedom.
This session starts Fi's term classes - its for mature and teenage students ( see discount for under 16 - 25 year olds ).
"Im, not joking what you said to me helped me change my life - you had no judgement and you just helped shine the light for me. Before I was stressed about being creative - after this I drew and created freely for the first time and It means so much to me - I cant Thankyou enough".

REVIEWS FOR OUR WORKSHOPS: Why not check out our online reviews on google.
"Excellent practical advice from an articulate, insightful and compassionate artist. Years later I still think of what we learnt about ourselves doing these basic but unlocking exercises on creative focus and interest. Fi's work always inspires me and I felt that her insights into finding your own way - understanding what you need from your art and controlling your mind set were invaluable"
