Four studios, each with its own room, its own tutor and twelve students at most. Pick one, cross into the others every Wednesday.

01 · Studio Diploma · 2 years, full time Painting & Drawing The oldest studio in the yard and the messiest. You draw from life every morning of the first term, then you paint for the rest of the two years, mostly at a size that scares you a little. View Painting & Drawing
A student turning the wheel of an etching press
02 · Studio Diploma · 2 years, full time Print & Type Two etching presses, a Vandercook proofing press, a wall of wood type and a screen room. You learn every process by hand before you decide which one is yours. View Print & Type
A sculptor in an apron looking at a clay bust
03 · Studio Diploma · 2 years, full time Sculpture & Clay Half the yard is ours: modelling stands, a plaster room, a small foundry for bronze and two kilns that run most nights. Ten students, because the room is loud and the tools are sharp. View Sculpture & Clay
A photographer developing a print under red safelight
04 · Studio Diploma · 2 years, full time Photography The first year is all film: a medium format camera, twelve frames at a time and nights in the darkroom. In the second year you add digital, and most people keep printing by hand anyway. View Photography
