About Portfolio Preparation Evening Programme
This 22-week studio-based programme of hands-on learning is designed to accommodate students’ individual needs, offering tailored support to explore creativity and build a portfolio in their own unique style.
Beneficial for preparing an application for art college or university; most suitable for those pursuing further education courses in fields such as Applied Arts, Printing, Design, Illustration, Sculpture, Environmental Art, Textiles and Fashion. This programme is equally valuable for those simply seeking an opportunity to explore their creativity, expand their skillset and meet likeminded people.
Each week, students will take part in a 3.5-hour evening workshop and be provided a structured plan for their own self-study for the week ahead. Towards the end of the programme, we also have allocated 2x 6-hour ‘open access’ Saturdays for students to have more dedicated access to the studio and facilities to help them finalise their portfolios. The programme culminates with a focus on helping students write a personal statement, and pull together their final work into a coherent and impressive portfolio of work, ready for applying to courses should that be their intention.
We envisage a future where using our profits we can build a safe and warm community for those who may face multiple barriers in accessing or feeling welcome in traditional social spaces. We truly believe that creativity should be accessible to all, regardless of experience, identity or background. Historically, creative spaces have been predominately occupied by groups and individuals benefitting from multiple forms of privilege; presenting an unfair advantage when it comes to accessing opportunities in creative fields.
For this reason, we have not only kept our fees as low as possible while still being able to cover direct costs, overheads and living wages for everyone involved, but we also offer 25% of our spaces free of charge to ensure that opportunities still reach those who might otherwise be unable to afford to take part. All materials required are provided, meaning that once you’re on the programme, you do not need to purchase any more supplies unless you want to.
We feel that everyone (regardless of what they’ve been told by their high school art teacher) is creative in their own way. One of our key focuses throughout the programme is to help each individual find their unique creative spark and individual style. Because of this, students do not need to provide any evidence of previous creative skill, qualification or ‘talent’ to join our course. We aim to give all applicants a completely equal opportunity.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
