  We often invite contemporary artists to work with our students. Over the past few years we had several visiting artists work with our students in practical workshops and ex-students visiting to discuss current degree courses or their line of employment. Annually we attend the UCAS, “Design your Future” event in Manchester. Visits and trips have included Edinburgh, Liverpool, Falmouth, Verona and New York. Strong links are continuing to develop with several universities through portfolio review sessions, talks and tours. Students have taken part in a number of enterprise activities, entered various competitions, live briefs and worked on many community art ventures.
