I am delighted to announce that I will be running Sessions, an online Alternative Art School from the 17th-21st January.

Taking its cue from Jazz jam sessions, the week will focus on pushing and developing your practice and skills. It’s a chance to play and improvise. Each day the class will be given a theme or focus for the Session, alternatively you can create your own.

It is recommended that you dedicate 2 hours a day to completing the work, or 10 hours overall if you’re looking to focus on one session/cue for the week. On Friday everyone will be invited to share what they have created via Google docs, this is only for the class no one else can view anything shared.

The school will be run by artist & educator Andrea Allan.

To keep you motivated the below is offered as an optional schedule for everyone involved, to help create a routine and build contacts and socialise.

// Breakfast club on Zoom from 9-10am

// Each day a new theme/cue will be given

// Class review on Friday (in Google docs) from 7-9pm. A space for everyone to upload their work from the weeks school, you can see what everyone else has done and add comments

// Select texts and audio will be uploaded/shared daily

// Ongoing WhatsApp chats and check-ins

You don’t need to be based in the UK in order to participate, however please be aware of time zone differences.
