‘An inspiring tutor who was not only able to give us her in depth knowledge but also to give us all individual time to work on what we wanted to try as the week went on. I felt like I’d achieved so much by the end of the week.’ Laura – Gilding and Verre Églomisé
SUMMER SCHOOL
Short courses for adults in Heritage Crafts and Fine Art

About
Our summer short courses are a unique opportunity to step inside our renowned Art School or embark on a journey of discovery, to explore and develop your skills and interests with our expert tutors.
Discover new talents, foster existing skills and develop your creative interests in a fun and supportive setting.
Class sizes are small, and our tutors make sure our intensive courses for adults (18+ years) are enjoyable and fun, as well as inspiring and informative. And as a student on one of our introductory courses, you’ll receive the same warm welcome that we extend to all our friends and students.
Current or former students (Foundation, BA or MA) of the Art School are eligible for 10% discount on all our summer courses.
