I just wanted to thank you for all the help and support I received during the Glass and Ceramic course I did at the Kensington and Chelsea College. I successfully completed the BTEC National Diploma in Glass Course and passed with a Distinction grade, which has given me a good base to go on to do a BA (Hons) in Glass. I graduated in 2011 with a First Class in 3D Design in Glass. I did find working through the course interesting, stimulating and enjoyable. I've met interesting people and the tutors were amazing. Doing the course at KCC gave me the courage to carry on with my glass art and now as an Urban Glass Artist I am able to make a living out of it and I am exhibiting both nationally as well as internationally. My experience as a student at the Kensington & Chelsea College has been excellent and I would recommend it to others. - Gonny van Hulst aka GonnyGlass

Students are encouraged to participate as this is a very useful stepping stone for their career goals in the glass contemporary practice, progression to university or self-employment destination. Last year one of KCC students won first prize for the glass category with her glass work. Malvinka Bitelli said: "'I'm absolutely thrilled at being given the chance to exhibit my work at the V&A.'" Four glass students were shortlisted for the V&A's Be Inspired Competition and displayed their work at the V&A museum with Malvinka. The vocational glass courses we offer include: lectures by professional glass makers in which they explain their personal career path and discuss their approach to professional practice. We also offer seminars and visits to contemporary exhibitions so that students can develop a deeper understanding of the art and design industry and the organisations that operate within it. We aim for students to learn about the varied roles that exist within this field. We have an excellent glass studio with facilities to help students become highly competent in design.

How to Draw
Drawing is an essential skill that underpins all of our artistic and creative endeavours. Drawing allows us to be expressive and descriptive, to explore and to communicate. We offer a range of drawing classes that will allow you to investigate drawing practice with guidance and support. Our drawing courses are grounded in established practice but embrace innovation and experimentation. Life drawing and painting classes give learners the opportunity to study and work from the human figure and explore different mediums, materials and techniques. Drawing from the figure can inspire many different forms of artistic inquiry; from an exploration of identity to an understanding of human physicality. Observation, composition, measuring and expression are key elements and poses are also given an historical reference and context. Measured Drawing classes will teach students measuring systems and will concentrate on the process of drawing rather than the subject. Different systems of drawing clearly and simply laid out will be explored over the weeks. Art materials are not included in the course fee but basic materials can be purchased from the college at reasonable prices. Any extra costs will be indicated in the course outline or at interview and advice sessions. (Please note that during life classes a nude model is used.)

No particular school or philosophy of art governs our course provision except a commitment to the excellence of the learning experience. Art materials are not included in the course fee.

Understanding Art
Alongside Art practice there is an abundance of information and theory. There are probably as many interpretations and explanations of Art, its practice and its manifest objects as there are artists. Under this heading we hope to offer a range of courses that will provide insight and understanding for those who wish to explore the contexts in which Art evolves, is made and exhibited. Guided visits to contemporary exhibitions will aim to provide an expanded view of what the curator of today considers viable as marketable artefact or ground breaking conceptualisation. Lectures and seminars, often associated with exhibitions, will give an opportunity for direct interaction with artists talking about their artwork, its development and presentation. Outside practice courses and workshops will explore Art History and Theory through associated practical activity beyond the studio in museums or the high street. The information and theory explored under the heading of Understanding Art will support study in our other subject discipline areas of Sculpture, Photography and Printmaking. Learning how to paint and draw, studies in watercolour or even digital photography will all benefit from having some contextual background to support your practical experimentation.
