STUDIO PRACTICE

Studio Practice is designed for artists with an existing practice and an established identity to their work. It helps you to consider whether you’re using the most appropriate materials, supports and scale, for example, to best complement the content of your work. 

This programme gives mentoring to artists with materials to hand, supporting you through a productive year of tutorials, workshops, group crits and talks centred around two-day practical studio sessions. Newlyn School of Art provides a generous range of materials during these sessions.

With one-to-one tutorials and sessions focussing on key topics, we look at creating bodies of work with coherent criteria and planned decisions. Our final session explores how to produce and supply effective photography for promotional and print use, and the wide variety of exhibition opportunities available for emerging artists.

Dan Pyne and Clare Wilson co-lead the programme, supported by visiting artists, creating a vibrant and varied source of input from our roster of professional practising artists across the year.
