upcoming workshop: Web Presence for Artists with Carole Epp

by | Feb 11, 2020 | workshops

I’m super excited to announce that I’ll be in Ottawa this May teaching! Really hope you can join me at this incredible clay studio for an evening of talking online presence and social media.

May 21st, 2020 from 6pm – 9pm.

Reg price of $75. Early Bird registration fee: $60 (Early Bird sale ends March 31st.)

LOAM will have the pleasure to welcome Carole Epp to the studio for a Master Class like no other.

Want to effectively use the internet to drive your career in the arts? Then this workshop is for you! Carole will teach you how to map out and establish an online presence that is both efficient and effective for creatives. We’ll begin with the solid foundation of a portfolio based website that anyone can build and then expand to include a number of social media sites and how to maintain and optimize them. This workshop covers content development, context concerns and considerations, and how to focus your time and energy spent online. We’ll also spend some time introducing fun apps that make branding and content creation fun and engaging. Course is open to artists with all levels of experiences.

Expect to come away with new insight into:

  Branding, website development, and design.
  Different social media platforms for creatives.
  Effective and efficient approaches to content development.
  How to set up a realistic plan for consistency.
  Easy to use Apps to solidify your branding across web platforms.
  Building your audience and community through active contribution.

Participants are encouraged to submit their current website and social media links prior to the workshop in order to receive specific feedback on their current practices. Existing website and social media links are however not a requirement.

Contact LOAM to register.

Also happening in Ottawa starting the next day is the NEW CLAY CONFERENCE – why not make it a full weekend of ceramics and the art of business?
