Fashion week workshop

The second years have only been back for a week and look at how much work they've done already-all fashion items made of scrap materials.

Objects into patterns

So the students have been working with their objects for the last couple of days now, in these pictures you can see some of them developing their drawings into pattern designs-

First days, first project, first years!

A big fat hello to all our new first years-welcome! Check out some of the excellent work the new first years have been up to in the studio-

Paris in the spring time!

Bonjour!
We've just come back from Paris where we had an awesome time in the sunshine exploring the city and all the Art it has to offer.
I want to say a big thank you to our lovely students first and second years and to the lovely fashion folk for being so well behaved and interested-go you guys!
Here's a sneak peek of what we saw, enjoy!

Exploring 3D

Some of our first years are doing a 3D unit at the minute, so they're exploring glass, wood and clay, here are some examples of their clay work.

Exploring paint and painting

Some of the first years are doing a painting unit and they have been exploring using all different paints and techniques, from oil paint to painting to music, here are some examples of what they've been producing. I think it's pretty great!
