Year 1 Trip to the Norfolk coast

The new Year 1 students took a trip to the coast at Wells-Next-The-Sea and Holkham Beach. Lots of drawing, chatting, beach combing and sandcastle making (and a bit of creative mapmaking!) A great day out and it didn't rain! Nice to meet everyone.

Welcome to new illustration students!

A big welcome to all the new BA Illustration students. Prepare for a great time and we all look forward to meeting you and getting to know you in the coming year.
