Tutors

The teaching artists at the Willougbhy Arts Centre are highly qualified (usually Masters in Fine Arts) with many years of teaching experience and as practicing artists and exhibitors. Visiting artist’s workshops and master classes are also held throughout the year, offering intensive weekend or longer workshops in specific areas of expertise. The Willoughby Arts Centre prides itself in continual growth. The WAC offers a creative community in which established and emerging artists can support, inspire and challenge one another.

The high standards attained by students in art prizes in Australia and international competition is testament to the quality of tuition at the WAC.

You are welcome to contact the tutors directly to discuss the course outline, materials required and to check if there are any additional fees eg. model/firing fees. Visiting artists contact details are kept private.
