At Arts University Plymouth we continue to invest heavily in new studios and workshops that redefine the relationship between media, fine art, digital technology and handcrafted traditions.
<p>We offer the richest, most diverse ecosystem of materials, technologies, processes, practices, and exchange of ideas of any arts university in the UK. And that synergy gives us a certain kind of energy.</p>
<p>We provide space, equipment and – crucially – the technical help to make full use of this for students across all of our creative programmes. Our 13,000 square meters of studios and workshops across four buildings are kitted out with professional workspaces and state of the art facilities.</p>
<p>We actively encourage you to use areas and communal space to curate and exhibit work collaboratively or individually and in various 2D, 3D, 4D and digital formats. Becoming part of our interdisciplinary learning community offers you a diverse and challenging environment in which to develop your thinking and practice.<br /></p>
With north-facing windows, a ‘methods and process’ area, individual studio space and a specialist life-drawing studio, our impressive, open-plan, triple-height Drawing Studio is a huge space, perfect for many different activities and specialisms.
