About this course

This vibrant course is equivalent to the first two years of a university degree, offering students a broad range of artistic skills and techniques. From printmaking, life drawing, textiles, and jewellery design to mixed-media exploration, photography,painting, and 3D design, students gain hands-on experience across multiple disciplines. They will develop independence, collaborate on projects, and curate exhibitions in our David Gentleman Gallery and other venues.

Students will also organize artist workshops, learn branding and marketing strategies, and prepare for employment in the creative industries.
