Why this course?

I chose this course to broaden my knowledge of art, which is my passion. I have learnt a lot and love the fact that you can work with so many different materials. The teachers are great and make everything really interesting. There is so much variety with this course and you can try out so many different mediums. The college also has really good facilities.

What next?

I’d like to go to university to study ceramics and would then like a career in the creative industries.
