We look at colour combinations, lighting, textiles, paints.

The final outcome will be a well designed room, complete with plans, elevations and swatches.

There is a small amount of homework or research to do in preparation for each lesson.

How will I be taught?

You will be taught in a very practical hands-on way, using lots of resources. You will be involved in group work, working with a partner and on individual projects. You will be allowed to experiment, try new ideas and be creative. It is important to note that craft courses are practical and require a degree of manual dextrerity. Students will need to participate fully to get the most out of the course.

You will have plenty of verbal feedback and support from the tutor. You will photograph your work as your progress. You will build a portfolio of your room project
