Writing & illustrating – A tutor & student co-operative project
Posted: 11/11/19 09:00 | 1 Comments

As a group we decided it would be a good idea to do something over the summer to stay in touch with each other.

Art students often label themselves according to the name of the course that they are studying; They become a ‘fine artist’, ‘photographer’ or ‘textile designer’.
