Hear from our Short Course students

Short course student Lianna uses a tool in the small metals workshop.

I’ve really enjoyed getting hands on with creativity again, learning new processes and having the freedom to make my own jewellery. I learnt so much over the 10 weeks.
Lianna - Beginners Silversmithing Short Course

Someone scraping the inks left over on their squeegee into a pot. The dye is bright green and their bright green print is sat on the table behind, out of focus.

It was incredible to find a place that allowed such open creativity with the guidance of talented tutors - a fantastic way to learn a new skill and meet other creative people.

The ceramics short course has been an absolute dream. Lucy is so knowledgeable and supportive, she's really encouraged me to find my own personal style which has been a magical experience. I would recommend it to anyone considering getting into clay.
