As artists, makers and creatives, it is easy to get bunkered down by your own studio practice – caught between the eddies of life and delivering work. So the thought of taking time to do a creative workshop is a distant one – often considered as an expensive luxury.
But professional practice workshops can offer a key to extending your work to another level, not to mention a great refresher on techniques and gleaning tips from colleagues.
