It does this in part by providing students with a very high level of contact time with artist tutors and professional experts.
The Art School is seeking to appoint a Foundation Departmental technician. With the Art School’s particular focus on skills-based teaching and a commitment to cultivate knowledge and curiosity in both the historical and contemporary contexts of our subjects, our technicians play a crucial role as key members of the Art School’s community, working closely with the Heads of Department and specialist tutors. This role requires great flexibility and adaptability as well as a broad skills base.
