Dear  ‍ ‍

‍Have you made a New Year’s resolution to be more creative this year?  To carve out more time for your painting and drawing? To invest in your practice by learning new techniques or exploring new ways of working? 

We can help with that!

Here at the Seawhite Studio we have been working hard to create a programme of courses and residencies that will fire you up and keep you going: helping you be more productive, more engaged, feed your confidence and help you overcome challenges and barriers within your work and practice.   From past experience and feedback, we know that the impact of our courses can be felt far beyond of the reach of the course itself.

The start of new year is a time to look forward and make plans, and so the purpose of this newsletter is to provide an overview of the short courses and residencies that are available to book for the first half of 2024.  Some courses are already fully booked, so we are only featuring courses that have places available (hint: book early to avoid disappointment!).  To find out more about each course, simpley click on the button beneath its description.

We hope this newsletter can be a useful tool for you and help you map out your creativity for the first part of 2024 - we look forward to welcoming you to the Seawhite Studio soon!

 TRACING NATURE

 Julian invites you to explore rhythms in abstraction by making a collection of expansive, large scale paintings and drawings, that incorporate layering, mark making and expression.
