Defining Practice helps students gain a stronger sense of their artistic voice through creating a body of work over a year; exploring a variety of methods, materials and processes. Combining practical sessions and one-to-one tutorials, this programme is held over six two-day sessions, around eight weeks apart.
Lead tutors Daniel Turner and Marie Claire Hamon are joined by visiting artists throughout the year. Previous visiting artists have included Jessica Cooper, Jesse Leroy Smith, Dan Pyne, Kate Walters, Sam Bassett, Tom Morris, 'Jimmy' Kleiner Shames and James Hankey, among others.
