Short Courses
We pride ourselves on small class sizes which enables our students to quickly gain an extremely high skill base in a short space of time.
Our short courses typically run for between 2 and 15 days and offer a variety of technique based projects and up-skilling options. We are thrilled to now be able to invite back some of our familiar international tutors so there will be some exciting additions to our 2023/2024 programme of short courses.
