CRITIQUES
Crit Club - a biweekly critique group - 2 hours every other week - ONLINE
Critique groups meet every other week for 2 hours. Participants receive feedback on their work multiple times during the 8 week session. A sense of trust and rapport develops within the group, so that everyone gains an understanding of each other's process and way of thinking. As a result, their feedback is specific and relevant. The ongoing meetings will encourage you to make new work in order to take advantage of this communal insight.
Individual Critique / Studio Visit Critique:
My critiques are an hour and a half so that we can focus the discussion, in depth, on any aspect of your practice that you choose. This could be your current work, planning for professional advancement, a proposal or school admissions (from high school to graduate school). Critiques are scheduled at your convenience and can occur at my studio or yours (see fees). After our meeting I will send you an extensive pdf with notes, links and suggestions to refer to in the future. Please note: If you buy a bundle of 4, you receive a 10% discount (see discounts). For the studio visit option, I come to your studio and the fee allows for travel. This option is available if your studio is 30 minutes from downtown Toronto.
Crit -O-Rama - affordable, convenient ONLINE critiques
Each online critique will be 40 minutes long focusing on whatever aspect of your practice you choose. The aim of our conversation will be to consider your work relative to your intentions and how to make it even stronger. Offered every couple of months.
