Course Description

Do you want to find more freedom in your creative process?
Do you wish you could “let loose” like other artists?
Are you feeling creatively stuck and unsure how to push your work forward?

“Creativity lives in a paradox: serious art is born from serious play.” – Julia Cameron

Allowing yourself to ‘waste’ time and resources on exploring the ‘what ifs’ can be a challenge, but it’s an important part of the creative process. It ensures you stay flexible, inspired, and growing.

Join Kate Green to learn new ways to manipulate a surface — to add and subtract, layer and reveal — through glazing, collage, tearing, texture, sanding, stenciling, spraying, and more.

Instructor Bio
I’m an abstract mixed media & multi disciplinary artist who really loves a bit of colour! In addition to my love of painting, my recent Masters Degree has discovered a passion for sculpture and fascination with installation environments.

Exploring contrast and celebrating uniqueness through colourful, quirky creations bursting with life. Taking inspiration from nature I stylise and supersize to create impact with a sense of fun.

My passion is getting alongside artists and putting courage into them, helping them unearth their own unique creativity that the world is waiting to see.

LIVE COURSE FAQ

How many registrations are required for a course to start?

A minimum of 8 registrations are required.  If 8 registrations are not received by the time the course is 24 hours from starting, the course will be cancelled and all registrants will receive complete refunds.

What is the maximum number of people in a course?

This varies for each course.  The maximum number of registrations is decided by the instructor.

Can I get a refund?

Up until 72 hours before a course’s first session you can receive a complete refund. You can cancel your registration via the My Account portal, or by contacting [email protected].

After this time no refunds will be given (if you have extenuating circumstances you believe justify a refund, contact us at [email protected]).

Can I register for a course already in progress?

No. Once a course has started, no new registrations are accepted.

Where will my course be held?

All courses meet online over Zoom. You will need a device equipped with a camera and a microphone to fully participate. 

If you have not used Zoom before, learn about how to use it here.

If you don’t regularly use Zoom, we recommend you join your first session 10-15 minutes early in case your computer needs to install or update Zoom.

How do I join my course?

You will receive a welcome email from [email protected] when you register.  This email includes the Zoom link to join your course session.  You will also receive 24 hour and 2 hour reminder emails before each session, and each of these emails includes the Zoom link.  You can also access the Zoom link to join your course in your MastriusChat group.

Are the sessions recorded?

Yes, every session is recorded and are typically available 24 hours after a session ends.  All session recordings will remain available for the duration of the course, and for one month following the last session.  The recordings are viewable within the MastriusChat platform, and cannot be downloaded.

What if I miss a session?

You’ll be able to watch the session’s recording.  If you have questions the recording doesn’t address, you can ask them in the chat feed of your course’s private MastriusChat group.

What is MastriusChat?

MastriusChat is an online discussion platform.  You and your fellow course registrants will be assigned to a private MastriusChat group where you can connect and support eachother via the chat “feed”. Your group is also where you’ll access the session recordings. Other resources in your MastriusChat group include a link to join your course sessions, and a library your instructor can use to share resources.

What is a Navigator?

A Navigator is an artist who joins your course to ensure both instructor and registrants have an enjoyable experience. They support (as required) with technology, timekeeping, moderating questions, and between-session discussions on MastriusChat. The Navigator has also joined the course as participant, and just like you, they’re wanting to grow their skills and learn the material.

I’m not ready to register because I still have questions. Who do I contact?

We’d be happy to help! 

Reach out to us at [email protected] and we’ll do our best to support you.
