Yes. All good artists work through practice and by constantly expanding their knowledge, learning new skills, and exchanging ideas. Being in a new environment can also stimulate fresh thinking. Courses provide focused time to explore new approaches and meet other artists. We often learn more by working alongside others than we do in isolation because we can bounce ideas around and inspire one another. For these reasons there is an emphasis on experimentation, discussion and evaluation throughout each day. Some courses are more suited to advanced students than others, so please refer to the individual course description.
