Discover something new

Our workshops are the engines of our art and design schools. They are spaces where students from all years and disciplines teach one another, for failure as well as success, experimentation, and wider discourse between students and staff.

You're likely to explore and experiment in workshops across the school. Work often overlaps into a variety of areas, and who are we to restrict you to one workshop or discipline? Our technical demonstrators enjoy a challenge and are happy to collaborate with each other and you to work out the best way to achieve your goal.
