This course will introduce GCSE and A-level students to the use of embroidery and latex in contemporary art. The aim is to help you to expand your artistic vocabulary, develop your portfolio and experiment with media that you may not be very familiar with. Each day will begin with an introduction to artists who use textiles in their work, to contextualise the lessons and help inspire you. In the morning, you will be taught different techniques, which you will then apply to a project (either your own idea or suggested by the tutor) in the afternoon.

This fun four-day course for students aged 12-16 provides a skills-based experience and expert tuition in animation.

The days will be themed and split in half; the mornings will focus on skills development and the afternoons will focus on creating an animation using the skills learnt. Students will be encouraged to work in groups and independently while challenging or responding to ideas and new skills in an enjoyable and creative space.
