We probably won't be returning to the US or Canada in 2012 (I need time to develop my DVDs) but we will be back. I'm looking for co-organisers and suitable venues for 2013 or later, so I'd welcome any suggestions you may have. If you think you could help find a suitable venue in your area and, with my assistance, find about 20 people wishing to attend, you'll receive a free workshop — currently worth up to £225.00. If you are interested in assisting me to set up a workshop in your area, please read the details below:

What do I need to do?

As well as running workshops in my North Yorkshire studio, I also try to run a few elsewhere in the country each year - this year it was Glastonbury and Maidstone.

I'm looking for a co-organiser and a suitable venue in any other part of the country (or even near a past venue). If you think you could assist with finding a suitable venue in your area and, with my assistance, find about 20 people wishing to attend, you'll receive a free workshop — currently worth up to £225.00. If you are interested, please read the details below:

What do I need to do?

I am currently considering a trip to Australia in 2013, visiting as many locations to hold workshops as I can. More than one workshop may be held in the Melbourne area but I'm looking for suitable venues in other locations and states too - and co-organisers.

If you think you could help find a suitable venue in your area and, with my assistance, at least 20 people wishing to attend, you'll receive a free workshop — currently worth up to £225.00. If you are interested in assisting me to set up a workshop in your area, please read the details below:

What do I need to do?

The requirements are quite simple: a suitable venue, about 20 attendees, and a base to which I can ship supplies (workshop packs, pre-prepared line drawing etc — you could fit the whole lot into a suitcase!).

The venue need not be any art-related place. I often use a village hall here in the UK that has good light, a kitchen, plentiful parking, disabled access and toilets, and sufficient tables and chairs. A church hall or community hall would do too, or a hotel with a conference room (hotels are our preference and have worked very well for us).

Workshops would be 3-day and run from 10am - 5pm.

I need about 20 (maximum 24) attendees to make the workshop viable. Maybe you belong to a local art group and know of other groups you can approach? Would your local newspaper be interested in running an editorial piece on the event? This local knowledge is invaluable - you know things I cannot possibly find out from here.

I'm not expecting anyone to have to spend money - if, for example, posters or flyers are required for display in local art stores, I'll arrange that from here or pay for you to do it locally. I'll give all the support you need, such as circulating the workshop through my mailing lists, advertising on my websites and blog, paying venue deposits and so on. I will also advertise the workshop on other websites, such as the SAA website where I'm a Professional Associate, which has quite a few American and other foreign members, and on my own Starving-Artists site and at ArtPapa.com (both of which have an international membership). In brief, I'll do everything I can to attract attendees and help in all other respects too.

If you're interested, please to register your interest.
