The course provides a wide selection of essential materials and equipment necessary for the completion of tasks and projects. You may however need to buy or collect certain materials for your individual needs, similarly, as most projects are introduced prior to the day’s activities, some projects require you to prepare and bring in relevant materials or visual research.

Students are taught through group and individual tuition, as well as on going demonstrations. The course is structured around creative projects that are generally introduced the previous week, although a project timetable will also be provided at the start of the course. Projects will also introduce relevant artists that can be researched in London galleries. On going support is provided through a variety of visual reference material, including handouts, slide presentations, artist books and exhibition information.
