Atelier Program

Instructors: Michael David & Thomas Swanston
Location: Serenbe & King Plow Arts Center (Atlanta)
Cost: $400 for any four sessions
Michael David and Thomas Swanston are pleased announce the Fine Arts Workshop Atelier Program, a professional level development tool designed to provide individuals working in the studio with a heightened intensity of on going critical support through portfolio review and guidance. This review process is designed to provide a graduate and post-graduate level of ongoing instruction and support. Atelier is for those returning to the studio after a prolonged absence, the professional artist preparing for an upcoming exhibition, or those that want the support and fellowship of other artists.
Through exposure to other artists’ work and techniques and an emphasis on "process and materials," Michael and Tom, with their combined fifty-years of professional experience, will help to motivate and deepen your practice of painting, and help you with your questions regarding professional practices.
Suggested assignments will serve to reinforce what we learn in the classes. (These classes are included for those enrolled in our Extended Encaustic Program.)
