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 Scheme 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 Scheme 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
