• Non EU fee – if you have not been
resident in the UK or EU for the previous three years a higher fee will be charged. Please ask as this varies depending on the course.

Most fees include basic equipment but you may need to buy additional materials.
Level 3 courses – we are unable to offer
concessions for level 3 courses, please ask at interview about sources of funding.

Adult learning is a great place to start or continue to enjoy developing your creativity and learn new skills.
Our Arts and Crafts department offers many opportunities to study a variety of subjects taught by professional practitioners in excellent, specialist rooms.
We have planned a variety of drawing and painting classes also jewellery, beading, mosaic, stained glass, clothes making, interior design, woodwork and furniture making, pottery and lots more. Most classes are 11 sessions long but we also offer shorter courses. Many of these focus on particular techniques that aim to give people an opportunity to study a specific aspect of art or a craft.
Many of our learners make work or items for themselves or their homes progressing to make things for their friends. Others go on to higher level study or begin working for themselves.

A couple of years ago I
thought I would try a stained
glass course. I decided to join
Tim’s class at Hammersmith
& Fulham because I wanted
to learn how to make a
leaded panel and also to
try some of the advanced
techniques which were
offered on his course. I was
in the process of thinking
about what to do as a
project when a friend who
lives in a Norfolk village
called Shouldham gave me
an unexpected first commission.
My friend told me that the last
remaining pub in Shouldham, the
Kings Arms,had closed and the
village had decided to buy it and
run it as a community pub (the story
behind this enterprise can be found
on the website of the Eastern Daily
Press http://edp24.co.uk/1.3768972)
Part of the new pub would have a
café and my friend asked if I could
make a stained glass window.
After consultation with the village
committee I came up with a design
and spent a term making the
window which is shown opposite.
Another image of the window can be
seen on the website for the pub http:
kingsarmsshouldham.co.uk/cafe/
I really enjoyed the stained glass
course at Hammersmith and Fulham
and I am keen to build on my skills
and I have started to incorporate
some of the techniques into my work.
