Former students often find work in leading workshops serving the architectural heritage world and the antiques trade. Others set up workshops on their own or with fellow students.
The Art Schools alumni have carried out significant projects on historic buildings including the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, The Tower of London, St Pauls Cathedral, Worcester Cathedral, Lincoln Cathedral, Gloucester Cathedral, York Minster, the Globe Theatre, Temple Bar, Brighton Pavilion, Uppark House.
