“We must come down to earth from the clouds where we live in vagueness and experience the most real thing there is: material.” Anni Albers

This live, interactive, two-part training invites artists and makers to explore what it really means to make exceptional work - through close attention to material, process, and perception. Guided by ceramic artist and artist mentor Amy Kennedy, you’ll learn how to turn your biggest creative ‘problem’ into a powerful tool for progress, use constraints and apply benchmarks to bring greater depth to your work.

You will learn a practical critique framework for assessing your own work with clarity and confidence, and how to implement daily practices to sharpen your ability to see with fresh eyes. A supportive and stimulating space designed to grow your sensitivity, challenge and expand your thinking and deepen your material understanding – to move your work from good to exceptional.

Online Workshop Friday 17 October and Saturday 18 October, 8am - 11am, free.
