Calling all North East based Artists.

Hettie Judah is a writer and curator of the acclaimed exhibition ‘Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood’ The author of numerous books on art, she is well known as a critic, columnist and advocate for artists’ rights.

This event is for any artist or people who work with artists whose lives are: complicated, demanding and, well, human. An opportunity to discuss and to ask Hettie about the art world, about her work, about navigating a creative life. Bring whatever’s on your mind.

Afterwards, stay for refreshments and a chat. Hettie will also be selling and signing copies of her new book, ‘How To Enter The Art World, After’ — a myth-busting guide for artists whose lives are complicated and human.

“Vital guidance for all artists. Empowering, encouraging and enlightening.” — Robert Diament, Talk Art

Who are the classes for?

The studio is a space for anyone: beginners who want to loosen up or more experienced artists who wish to bring greater energy and immediacy to their work. My classes are designed to gently reconnect with the joy of making art without pressure or judgment.

Here, art isn’t about being ‘good’ it’s about expression, confidence and finding your own unique way of seeing the world.
