CREATE ARTiSTS WORKSHOPS are designed around your immediate creative goals, helping you build new skills and explore new techniques and approaches, whatever your medium. Whether you’re into traditional or digital art — or both — whether you’re not as young as you used to be or not as old as you want to be; or just wanting to get to grips with drawing on an iPad — tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll help you find it.
Get the best out of creative process, materials and tools, and let us help you create great art your way.
Every CREATE workshop will continually adapt to respond and serve each attending artist’s unique evolving needs, preferences and interests, whether working with a group or an individual.
TAOO workshops are uniquely flexible — you can choose when, where and how you’d like the workshop to take place (in-person or via video or audio-only call); whether you meet one-to-one (in a public venue like a coffee shop) or with a group of friends, colleagues, or other creatives you’ve yet to meet (by choosing between “private” and “open workshop”).
Each workshop appointment can be rescheduled with 48 hours notice — life is complex, and we want you to get the best possible return from your investment.
This means you can attend a single workshop or many, as and when it suits your schedule and budget, and still benefit from strategies and support directly tailored to your unique creative goals — ensuring that you come away from every workshop equipped for your next creative challenges.
What matters to you matters to us.
CREATE ARTiSTS WORKSHOPS, CREATiVE CONSULTS, RETREATS and TUTORiNG are coordinated by Stephen Barnes, a creative polymath with decades of professional experience empowering hundreds of creatives — across all forms and levels of experience — to explore and fulfil their unique creative potentials by providing bespoke development strategies and support to them and their projects. He has worked with award-winning playwrights, authors, poets and screenwriters, as well as acclaimed directors, designers, musicians and visual artists, and with creatives of all ages just beginning to explore their creative potential. He has created and facilitated for highly visible organisations like the BBC, NHS, Tron Theatre, Playwrights Studio Scotland and Bijli Productions, amongst others, and also created projects focused on developing and showcasing the creativity of individuals in less visible, under-resourced communities across Scotland. Whatever you need, we’ll partner you with someone who will help you succeed. Our mentors, tutors and workshop facilitators are drawn from a trusted core of talented, compassionate, open-minded creative professionals. What matters to you matters to us.
