Degree Shows

We know engagement with the arts has a positive effect on the lives of individuals, improving their skills, wellbeing, and health.  It also enriches the communities we live in.

During the Degree Shows, Locksbrook opens its doors to the public and becomes a more porous and accessible resource for all. It facilitates connections with those beyond the walls of the institution, and builds confidence that artists, designers and makers contribute not only through the objects they make but through the questions they ask and the way they see, translate and interact with the world around them.

Throughout the year we offer a selection of creative short courses which offer the chance to gain new skills, further your career or simply explore a new hobby while utilising Locksbrook's brilliant workshops.

Creativity comes alive at Locksbrook Campus.

You can join us after hours for Locksbrook Lates – a new series of free events inviting students, staff, alumni and the wider public to experience the vibrant atmosphere of Locksbrook in a relaxed, social setting. Each session will spotlight different themes, from contemporary making and sustainable design to wellbeing and sound.

Alternatively, sign up for one of our creative Short Courses. They offer the chance to gain new skills, explore a new hobby and unleash your creativity.

Our staff and Postgraduate Research students (across all disciplines) are also welcome to join us for doing together, our yearly two-day making and sharing practice symposium.
