We are coming to the end of our 1 year online mentoring programme with Andrew James, this supportive programme has been a wonderful space for these artists to grow and learn together.

Andy has given incredible one to one and group guidance, which has helped these painters expand and strengthen on their creative journey. 🙏 We love this studio shot from mentee @pollysmedley… brilliant work Polly.

You can join Andrew James on our 6 month in person programme starting in January 2023. ✨
