Instructed by Theresa MacKnight.

Monday to Friday, July 4 – 8th, 9:30am – 5:30pm. At Sunbury Shores. $375.00

Some experience is required – this class is about developing your own practice – not full-time instruction.

This class has been developed in honour of Jay Dampf – a long time instructor at Sunbury Shores – as an opportunity for his previous students to meet as they so often have, to share time, have dedicated time for their practice, and receive individual guidance and assistance from an experienced instructor. We cannot replace Jay, but we can continue in his spirit!

Students will bring their own work – either in progress or ready to start. The studio is available for own practice during the mornings, with the afternoons offering the opportunity to have individual time with Theresa MacKnight regarding particular questions around techniques, composition, subject etc. Group time will also involve general discussion around such subjects, peer group discussion/crits and encouragement around each other’s work to encourage sharing of knowledge and fun!
