PRIVATE 8-WEEK VIRTUAL COURSES and ADVISING
Each season, I offer private, virtual workshops and courses that are developed and spun from the List of Courses below. These courses are open to artists working in all disciplines who are in need of productive feedback for their projects and/or developing portfolios. They offer a cohort community, critique, and weekly production prompts to jostle and move their thinking and practice forward. For artists who are looking for more individual guidance, one-on-one tutorials are also available. All sessions are led through various video-conferencing platforms and shaped around a global community. Please email me at jmcasbar@gmail.com for more information.
