PRIVATE SCULPTURE & DRAWING MENTORING
We welcome you to enjoy the opportunity to work alongside an established international artist and designer in his Southern Highlands Studio, or online from anywhere in the world via Zoom.
Whether you’re a professional artist, someone who paints on the weekends, an architect or designer rediscovering drawing or sculpting or an executive wanting to reconnect with your creativity, these private mentoring experiences are designed for you.
While centred around drawing and sculpture, every session is individually tailored to your interests, level of experience and creative goals. There is no set curriculum and no crowded classroom - just direct conversation online or in person, along with practical demonstration and hands on guidance from Thomas’s working studio.
