Masterclasses by Narcissus Quagliata

Narcissus, Thank you for sharing you vast knowledge on this topic. My mind is still absorbing all of which I have learned in the last few weeks. As someone fairly new to the business of art I hadn’t thought about some of the topics which were discussed. I throughly enjoyed the live lectures and all of the questions which were asked and answered. At the end I know I have a better understanding what I need to do going forward. 1st on the list is digging deep and finding my true authentic self and exploring her through my art I am looking forward to what the future holds.

There were so many pearls of wisdom that I'll watch it all over again but some comments resonated so strongly with me such as "don't squander the 80%" and "when you find your voice, own it, don't be shy". There was honesty and humanity. Narcissus delivers a balance of guiding you to what you should do while also guiding not to beat yourself up for what you haven't done...yet. We can do this.

Narcissus does a brilliant job sharing his business knowledge and professional insight through specific experiences. He poetically covers the material to connect the real world of business with personal discovery, philosophy and psychology. Looking forward to the next course!

I think this course is for anyone looking to live a life of meaning, using creativity as an access point. I was tight following the C to C course. After listening to the first small section, I was back in my studio just playing, which felt great. I will listen again and again. Your ability to make practical that which for me has been undefinable and from a place a magic, is astounding Narcissus. Thank you again for this incredible journey.

I highly recommend this workshop for anyone seriously interested in advancing their career. From finding your path philosophically, to the brass tacks of presentations and everything in between. Narcissus was very generous and honest with so much information I will draw from for quite some time. The recordings, live sessions, and summaries made this a very rich and rewarding experience. Much more than I could have hoped for. Thanks so very much to Narcissus and his crew for giving so much to delve into for months to come. Highly recommend!

This lecture, no, conversation has my thoughts spinning. The depth into which was shared has left me emotional and inspired at the same time. As the last few sentences were spoken I found myself with tears welling up. Tears of joy, gratefulness, inspiration, pondering, mesmerized, looking deeper, and asking myself what do I truly want to say. When silence was talked about I found this to have a profound effect on me. My younger self hated it, but as I am about to start the 6th decade in my journey I find myself needing and craving it. Our world has become loud and full of distraction. There is beauty when you can quiet your mind and your surroundings. I know I will watch and listen to this over and over again. There are nuggets and slices of knowledge I will carry with me forever. I truly feel like I am one of the luckiest people on the plant to have found and been given this opportunity. Not only learn about painting with glass but to have found insight into the human experience. The amount of personal thoughts, wisdom, sharing, and a life well lived will not be lost on me. Thank you

Oh my goodness! So many "ah ha's" during this segment of the course! I'm terribly shy by nature and have learned over the years to push myself to "get out there". I recently purchased the co-op gallery that I have been exhibiting at during the past year. I realize now it was subconsciously a BIG step that I needed to take in order to build my network of #1 fans. My vision thus far has been to help my gallery of artists sparkle and reach their full potential. I knew in the back of my mind, that by doing so....it would help me stretch my wings to also sparkle and achieve my full potential too. Narcissus is helping me realize my wingspan is going to be FAR greater than I originally had in mind for myself. :)

Well organized, rings true, and gives meaning and hope to the pursuit of a life in art. Thank you, Narcissus, for sharing so much of your life and experience and wisdom .

This is the most informative class that I have ever taken re: living my life as an artist. It was SO affirmative to hear about how Narcissus values the quality of his own work, his philosophy, his successes, his failures. He is SO authentically who he is!

I so appreciate you taking the time and effort to share on this topic. Truly life changing. The end got me. Thank you so much for giving us insight into your own struggles of finding your voice. It gives me a lot of hope.
