Students will be coached by tattoo industry professional, Meg Baker, owner and principal tattooist (White Fox Studio), and will be supported to work at their individual pace, on their own projects, including 1:1 coaching and peer feedback. Suited to learners continuing from our Foundations course, or for anyone with a grounding in design and illustration looking to skill-build or express their creativity in a flexible, community-driven space.

Each session will be shaped by group and individual interest as to what students choose to work on, what style or influence they are interested to explore, and where they need support.

• Develop your design skills in a relaxed, self-directed studio environment.

• Receive individual coaching and feedback as you work, tailored to your own goals and pace.

• Explore your own projects, whether that's building a portfolio, refining a personal style, or simply continuing to build confidence.

• Take part in regular group critique sessions, sharing work and perspectives with fellow learners.

• Each session will open with a short focus topic or demo, chosen by group interest, before moving into guided studio time. All basic materials will be provided.
