Art and Design - Level 3

I'm enjoying picking up a lot of new skills and technical abilities in digital photography. There's a variety of facilities including a photography studio where we photograph our projects, a screen printing room where we do mono printing, linear printing and screen printing, and a fine art studio where we can paint and draw.

The tutors are really supportive. Being an older student, I've been able to relate to them a lot better than some of the younger students and if I've had any questions or queries I'm able to go to them without having any issues.
