Our teachers bring a rich blend of academic knowledge and practical experience to the classroom. Our teachers hold the following art degrees and diplomas: Visual Arts Degree (BA) Photography (BA) Creative Writing & Media Studies (BA) Foundation Diploma in Art & Design Our formal creative studies have given us a broad knowledge of techniques, evaluation and critique, styles and art history.
