Fees to Employers
  • All fees shown are the subsidised standard and concessionary fees.
  • If your employer is paying for you, please note that the invoiced fee is 50% more than the subsidised standard fee.
  • With the exception of accredited courses and some courses specifically for beginners or advanced levels, the majority of courses accommodate all levels of ability and experience. This mix contributes to a rich learning environment where experienced and inexperienced students learn from each other and from the diversity of projects and activities. Beginners are welcome in all mixed level classes: you need have no fears – our job is to help you. Where classes are aimed at particular levels of experience, the levels are indicated to guide you. All our tutors are practising artists and craftspeople.

    With exception to classes marked T which are held in the top-floor studio, all arts & craft classes have access for students with reduced mobility. Materials, unless stated otherwise, are not provided. Please refer to the course description for material lists. Your tutor will further advise you on the first day of your course.

    Where classes have a model, charges are incorporated into the course fee.

    Some courses require tutor approval before enrolling. You will need to speak to Sharon Fuller or the course tutor to decide if the course is appropriate for you before enrolment.

    Please note: arts and crafts courses are very popular and frequently oversubscribed. Students who have enrolled on term one are not automatically reserved a place for terms two and three. Please enrol early to avoid disappointment.

    If you require advice about the right course for your particular needs, see a course description available in reception and on this website. If you are still in doubt, contact Sharon Fuller or Jackie Wamaitha on 020 7269 6042.
