BUILDING YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE: a workshop with yours truly : )

by | Sep 23, 2016 | Uncategorized

Wednesdays, October 5 to 26, 10 am –1 pm; Sunday, November 6, 10 am – 4 pm

This
course will survey a variety of online platforms available and proven
successful for artists and other creative professionals. Carole Epp,
founder of Musing About Mud – a blog and Instagram account with over 13k
followers – will cover concepts ranging from marketing and branding to
content production to contextual considerations for dissemination to
practical “how-tos” of online social media platforms. This will not be a
“how to build your website” course, but rather how to use the internet
to grow your business. It is suitable for beginners to those with an
established web presence: Carole will take beginners through the process
of developing an online portfolio – including a website and social
media – introducing and explaining how to use a variety of free online
resources; through this process, she will work with those who are more
experienced to refine each aspect of their online presence so it better
markets them and their work.

Held at Creative Commons YXE, a production space attached to Void Gallery, providing a professional environment and exposure to the workings of a commercial gallery.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The courses are intended for artists
of all skill levels who want to refine their professional practices or
improve their creative business skills. They are suitable for
early-career artists learning new techniques or experienced artists who
would like to receive support and feedback throughout processes they
have been undertaking for years.

Carole Epp Workshop: Narrative & Controversy 7 May 2016

by | Mar 26, 2016 | Uncategorized

That’s right folks, you read it right…I’m heading back to my home away from home Australia this May. I can barely wait to visit old friends, make new ones, see and experience the amazing Australian Ceramics scene again! Join me for a one day workshop in Sydney!

Narrative & Controversy


A one-day workshop 
with Carole Epp

www.caroleepp.com
Saturday 7 May 2016, 10am – 4pm
Square 1 Studios

32 Bowden St Alexandria NSW 2015
Cost: $85 per person ($75 TACA members)

Carole is a Canadian ceramic artist living and working in Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan. She received her Masters Degree in Ceramics from the
Australian National University in 2005 and has maintained a full time
studio practice since. Her ceramics branch off into two distinct bodies
of work – sculptural and functional.

Outline: Come and join Carole for a raucous day of
story telling about her ceramics. She’ll divulge her handbuilding and
throwing secrets and discuss her glazed surface treatments.
Demonstrations about how she brings narrative into functional and
sculptural work – from politics and social commentary, to humour and
whimsy – will be discussed. Participants will learn how to combine
narrative concerns alongside design and aesthetic concerns in their
work. There will be lots of demos and also some chat about social media.

You may already know Carole from her famous blog: http://musingaboutmud.blogspot.com.au.
