Art facilities

The Art Practice Areas (APAs) consist of eleven teaching workshops and facilities available for art students to support and expand their practice over a variety of disciplines. 

The APA’s aim to build their teaching around students' project ideas, helping them realise concepts discussed with their academic tutors and introduce them to new practices and techniques where necessary. 

All APA staff are specialists in their fields, many being practising artists having years of teaching and commercial/industrial experience.
