Tutorial Group coordinator Minna Stevens
Course 29
This programme offers students two
one-hour tutorials per term to discuss their work in depth.
The programme intends to build an overview of the student's
aims and their development and will complement the studio
teaching that they receive. In the autumn term The Tutorial
Group will include a group gallery visit, in the spring term
there will be a group seminar and at the end of the summer
term there will be an opportunity to show your work in the
Heatherley's exhibition. There is no formal assessment but
the exhibition acts as a focus for the self-assessment and
personal review that the programme seeks to promote.
The Tutorial Group will be of interest to students who
want to discuss the direction of their work both in and
outside the college but who may not want to commit themselves
to a full-time course.
Application is by portfolio. Interested students should
contact the co-ordinator Minna Stevens through the Heatherley’s
