Summer Schools - Visual Arts and Craft

Nurture your passion on a creative holiday away from the pressures of everyday life. Learn a new skill or hone your existing talents with intensive teaching and be inspired by the beautiful surroundings and artistic atmosphere.

“Everyone at the college during my summer school week was there because they loved art and wanted to learn skills to express themselves creatively. It’s a great atmosphere to be part of. The tutors were inspiring not only with the work they produced but also in the way they encouraged us to experiment and go out of our comfort zones. ”
