It allows you to gain a greater understanding of the impact Art has on the world while helping you develop your own interests and style.

“I loved the art textiles course as it gave me the opportunity to be independent and creative with my work. My teachers were always very helpful and supportive and I was able to balance my coursework with other subjects. It was easy to access any equipment I needed and find space to work on my own.”
