We were delighted to celebrate the hard work of our Foundation Diploma in Art & Design 2025 graduates at their end of year show, which ran from 14-17 May.

On Tuesday 13 May, friends and family of the students were invited to preview the show, before which we hosted the end of year prize giving.

Our new Head of Foundation, Clementine Mitchell, welcomed those in attendance before introducing the Art School Principal, Dr Lois Rowe. Addressing the students, Dr Rowe commended our graduates for the quality and diversity of the work in the show.

Deep thanks were given to the Foundation Teaching Staff and Technicians, who have supported the students in achieving their outstanding outcomes.

The 2025 Prizes were awarded to:

Prize for an Exceptional Foundation 2D Fine-Art Student – Thomas Chorley, Laura Townsend

Prize for an Exceptional Foundation 3D Fine-Art Student – Tiwa Akinjide, Fiona McHugh

Principal’s Prize for Outstanding Work at the Foundation Show – Matthew Wallis

Congratulations to all of our students and prize winners, and thank you to everyone who visited the Foundation Show 2025!
