AN
INSPIRATION DAY FOR ARTISTS

Ailsa
Piper's full day workshop offers processes to challenge and heighten
the engagement with the creative process. Participants are given
practical techniques to sharpen their focus and their practice,
as well as a series of self-esteem supports specifically tailored
to the challenges of life as an arts practitioner.
This workshop has proved beneficial to performers, visual artists,
musicians and even business people.
It requires a genuine commitment by participants to enlarging
their sense of their own possibilities, and to making concrete
change.
