Studio Practice Mentor Program

Create a transition to a new phase of artistic and creative practice. 

Who is this program designed for ?

The Goals:

  Details About the Program 

David Ryan has worked with thousands of students, and with his own discoveries as an artist and art educator it has resulted in this open-ended method to inspire, encourage and develop each students individual aims.

The greater learning experience realized in these classes comes about as a hands on discovery that you will share with all the other participants. 

The crux of the Studio Practice Mentoring Program is to get everyone immediately started with a regular studio practice and to identify the thought patterns and habits that have been standing in our way, whether this is a lack of confidence, lack of time or missing skill sets. 

This Program allows you as a participant to discover for yourself the secrets and magic of art making and your relationship to it and how and why we humans respond to it.

Modeled on a “studio practice style” of teaching with a strong practical and theory based guide to the formal aspects of art making and the medium of painting.

One Year Program

The Studio Practice Mentoring Program is a 36 week program,  This course is structured with weekly classes plus two full day workshops each term. Thursday Evenings    7.30 – 9.30 pm.

Venue: 25 Mount Street,  Nelson
