Course Summary

Are you looking for a creative course where you will develop a personal direction within your creative work, and express these in both a 2D and 3D form?

This hands-on, interactive and inspiring course will see you using a range of materials in your work such as wood, wire, clay, paper and Perspex to create your vision. At each stage you will experiment with materials to explore how and why great design can improve our environment!

As part of this you will carry out visual research for your projects using drawings, photographs and other mediums to develop your concepts, and consider how these might be expressed in a physical form.

Course Details

Topics include:

- Graphical techniques

- Product, architecture and interior design

Our highly qualified subject specialists will help you to realise your creativity, and help you to realise your design visions in the most appropriate form.

You will be stretched and challenged through a variety of methods, and given the chance to explore, test and refine your ideas.

Previous students have also enjoyed trips such as a residential trip to Berlin to be inspired by the famous architecture and design.
