Learn from your mistakes

The creative ‘buzz’ emanating from our studio exudes energy, enthusiasm and a sense of community that is palpable from the moment you enter our studios.

Housed in an extensive open format design studio, which accommodates all three year groups, (and importantly for each student, your own individual work areas), the arrangement promotes a communicative, collegiate and thriving creative atmosphere.

Our studios afford students a place to see the logical progression from year to year, to contextualise their practice. The studio environment really supports our creativity and skills development, providing a forum to showcase ideas, to explore through drawing and making as well as fostering a sense of being part of a community of designers.

In essence our studio is a place to grow, make mistakes,

mind and identify what we

want to explore next. It is a free space of curiosity to seek doing more than merely ‘good’ work.

‘Forget about good. Good is a known quantity. Good is what we all agree on. Growth is not necessarily good. Growth is an exploration of unlit recesses that may or may not yield to our research. As long as youstick to good you’ll never have real growth.’
