TUTORIAL SATURDAYS in 2012

Commencing on March 31st, Kate Downie is about to launch the first of her studio tutorials sessions.  Replacing the popular Tuesday School of Art (TSA), which Kate taught from 2001-2010, Kate will make her studio and her time available to individual artists or students who might wish to receive private tutorials.
For many early career artists, having a supportive ‘outside eye’ on one’s work with advice session/s on both technical & creative aspects of art making is very helpful.
Tutorial sessions will be entirely confidential and up to 2 hours duration, £60 per tutorial.

Enquiries: Email Kate (or fill in the Contact form)
