Employability and creative workshop experience

Students from Sandwell College came to the School of Art for workshops in Visual Communication, Fashion and Textiles, Fine Art and Photography. Experiencing innovative drawing projects, use of large format cameras, projects to inspire fashion designs and screen printing linked to Pop Art, students returned to Sandwell College with work and new ideas for their portfolios, as well as a first hand experience of life in the Art School. 

"I just wanted to thank you to you and the rest of the Art and Design staff for a very enjoyable and informative day. The students came away saying it was a positive experience." 
said Caroline Dickson of Sandwell College
