How do you support artists?

We help artists to reach their goals through 1-2-1 creative coaching packages, group coaching and a combination of self study and live cohort courses. You can keep up to date with our new products and services launching this year by subscribing to our mailing list or book a call with our team to discuss how we can best support your creative career.

How do you support creative professionals?

We offer 1-2-1 and group coaching packages for creative professionals who might need help navigating a career change, leadership development, confidence building and more. We also offer a range of talks, workshops and keynotes for organisations and professional groups. You can pick from our most popular or request a bespoke topic and we can confirm the cost and timing.

How can I benefit from creative coaching?

Creative coaching unleashes your creativity, overcomes blocks, sets clear goals, provides accountability, offers feedback, builds confidence, and helps navigate challenges, empowering you to achieve your creative aspirations. You can find out more on our coaching page.

How do I apply for 1-2-1 coaching with Ceri?

Please contact our team via the contact form on our website, booking a call or emailing us at hello@cerihand.com and provide a brief overview of your requirements. We can then reply with a short survey to help us understand your goals and recommend the best coaching support to suit your request, timings and budget. If Ceri is fully booked, we’ll add you to a waiting list and recommend alternative services to support you.

Please note that Ceri’s Sapphire coaching package is by referral only so we only invite new clients to apply for the Ruby coaching package of 6 x 1 hour sessions.

What sets your coaching and courses apart from others?

We use industry experience with warmth and humour to help artists and arts professionals with confidence, skill development, industry navigation, self-promotion, opportunities, and business development so they can move from stuck to stellar. Ceri has created her 5Cs Framework  to show you how to navigate the contemporary artworld and fast track your route to success. You can read more about the 5Cs Framework here and how it forms the structure to all Ceri Hand coaching and course programmes.

What types of courses do you provide?

We provide a combination of self study and live cohort courses for contemporary artists teaching from Ceri’s 5Cs Framework. Our new self study course Unlock Your Artworld Network will be available to buy from Monday 11 March and you can find out more information here.  You can access our launch discount offer, by subscribing to our mailing list by 10 March. Delivered by Ceri, this easy to follow, transformative course is the key to unlocking your artworld network.

How do I access the courses?

We host our courses on the Mighty Networks course platform. You simply click through from the course page on this website to the landing page of the course platform. There you can select the payment plan for the course. You sign up to the Mighty Networks platform, add your payment details and then you can simply log into the course hub to start accessing the course!

Are your courses suitable for beginners or only experienced artists?

Our courses are suitable for all stages of a contemporary artist’s career. We aim to outline the context, key principles and actions to help you implement the course material and get results. This can help emerging artists set up their studio, start their network or a more experienced artist fine tune a specific aspect of their practice.

I’m interested in your new group cohort coaching course. How do I apply?

Please subscribe to our mailing list to be the first to hear updates about this course. It will be launching in summer 2024 and be application only. Details to follow soon.

Do you support artists with funding for coaching, courses or public talks?

We can advise artists about estimated costs and timings for our services to help inform funding applications. But as we are a small team, we’re unable to offer more detailed statements or written support for the application process itself.

Can I book Ceri to deliver a bespoke public talk?

You can! Ceri is a dynamic and experienced public speaker who can tailor her experience for specific talks, workshops and lectures. For example you might want to book Ceri to guest speak within a lecture series or do a unique Q&A for an artists group.

If you contact hello@cerihand.com or fill out the contact form, we can follow up with a series of simple questions to get a better understanding of your requirements and confirm the timings & cost.
