Workshop: Mapping Your Journey to Creative Success

Breaking into the creative industry can be daunting. Protecting your creative headspace is one thing, but trying to establish a successful ‘career’ opens up a whole new set of choices and challenges to navigate.

Our very first workshop is designed to help you overcome those barriers. This guided session, created by Susie Lawson (who has over 25 years’ experience in the arts) will help you feel confident developing your practice, enable you to have clarity and focus on your vision, and give you the knowledge you need to move forward in your creative career.

We’ll be exploring:

• Your version of success as a creative
• The goals that underpin your vision, and the steps you can take to achieve them
• Your ‘why’
• Your values, and how to cultivate a career around them

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a tool-box of actions you can draw on to help you achieve your vision, a set of resources to overcome challenges or roadblocks getting in the way, and the confidence to further your practice.
