Art School Away Days and Block Visits

Special arrangements can be made with higher and further educational sectors to facilitate groups of students to work in the Study Centre. Specific training can be offered or the group can bring their own staff to work alongside our staff.

University Links

Four years ago our partner company the Curwen Studio signed a formal "memorandum of co-operation" with the Winchester School of Art, which is a department in the Faculty of Arts at The University of Southampton. This unique partnership enables senior students from Winchester to work alongside the artist and printmakers at Curwen Studio. This is effectively an "industrial link" concept which has been highly successful. It bridges the higher educational sector with that of a working and live environment. Since the formation and completion of the Curwen Print Study Centre, students from Winchester are now able to interact with both aspects of the Curwen identity and gain further first-hand experience of the two important aspects of creative life, with that of continued self-expression and that of an introduction to the mechanics of a professional creative business.

The Curwen Print study centre is now actively working on extending this type of higher educational experience with other universities and art schools, both in this country and abroad.

Specialist Training

Specific training in any of the printmaking processes can be organised through the centre for individuals or groups. No previous experience is required and all materials are offered alongside professional tuition and technical back-up. This can be planned on a rolling basis or as a block session.

Professional Access

Arrangements for professional or amateur artists to develop new work can be arranged outside of prearranged courses. Technical or artistic support can be organised if required. Previous printmaking knowledge is not essential.

Creativity

Using the medium of printmaking we can organise courses that help individuals or groups rediscover or develop their creative skills.

These can be focussed towards -
Any age or artistic ability who would like help enhancing or rediscovering their artistic creativity. It provides an opportunity to kick-start creative expression or further develop individual creativity.

Creativity is a tool that helps in all facets of working life. The ability to think creatively regardless of artistic ability is much needed in today's corporate environment. This course is designed to release creative thinking power, change mind sets and develop a readiness for change and innovation.
