The course allows you to develop in a comprehensive and personal way, catering to your specific interests. The tutor will offer demonstrations and one-to-one guidance so you can working at your own pace using the processes your enjoy most.

The use of a sketchbook in and outside of class will encourage you to write down notes, gather visual and technical information and explore ideas and inspiration through.
