With the aim of inspiration, encouraging artistic growth and an empathetic understanding of the inner process of creating art, Iris Haeussler will invite up to 6 students into her studio (ONLINE via ZOOM) to learn about her work, creative environment and process. Students will then be asked to invite their classmates (and Iris), to present their works and works in progress, either through online presentation of photos and videos, or by using an on-site camera. Iris will lend her three decades of international practice to TSA students by creating a sensitive, supportive and playful approach to their artistic practice. A truly unique opportunity to explore and grow your art practice with mentor and guide Iris Hauessler and a community of peers.

Student prerequisites:
- Having a body of work to show (any media is welcome)
- A work in progress to be shared (optional)
- A studio or any studio-like space that can be viewed and that works can be viewed in
- Skills to operate a camera (second, mobile camera) that allows the studio to be seen via Zoom
