Highly recommended to artists seeking direction and professionalization.
A very useful bitesize course to remind us of where we are with our practice. The participants were of a very high level and the tutors excellent.
I found the Personal Practice course life-changing as it has made me really reflect on why I paint, what is important within my practice and where I want to go next. Living in a remote place with few opportunities to get to exhibitions, it has been invaluable to talk with other practitioners about their work, influences, and to build supportive networks.
