The masterclasses are structured to meet you at your current skill level and address your specific knowledge gaps. You will create your own programme by selecting the combination of topics and modules that is most relevant to you.
The schedule is deliberately flexible so that busy freelance artists can fit learning in while continuing to work professionally.
Tutorials are conducted 1:1 so that your questions and challenges receive personalised attention. The aim is to go deep and focus on high-quality learning that you will retain and use.

Learning is conducted via a series of modules. A programme consists of a group of modules selected by you. Each module covers one topic and will take approximately 1 month to complete. The overall duration of your programme will depend on the number of modules you opt for.
For each module, there will be 3 in-person tutorials. Before each tutorial, you will be assigned readings and case study worksheets to complete. You should expect to spend at least 3-5 hours on these assignments and self-study to prepare for the tutorials.
Modules may also be repeated at progressively higher levels of challenge and complexity. For example, if you really want to dive deep into the management of money, you may wish to take multiple instances of that module to reinforce and strengthen your knowledge and skills.
