Teaching

During the first few sessions, the team will spend time getting to know students, so that the course can be planned appropriately to ability. We will spend a few sessions warming up and give students the opportunity to socialise and get to know each other. Most sessions start with a discussion and demonstration of techniques, then moves on to students making their own work; we usually finish the session with a discussion about each others work.
