We’ve coached people of all ages and abilities:from absolute beginners, art students, post degree and professional practitioners with great success. Our mentors have considerable knowledge of the arts: in fine art and commercial sectors and knowledge of different potential journeys through the arts. We’ve coached dressmakers become fashion designers, amateur painters into professional gallery represented ones and sketcher to become fully fledged illustrators. We’ve supported preparations for art scholarships and college entries.
