We're Halfway There


Note from the Editor:
This is the fourth year in a row that we’ve opened the S1W6 Newsletter with this post and video. To date, not a single student has laughed* or commented positively. Just so you know—we’re fully committed to this bit. As long as no one laughs, we’ll keep posting.

*Sara Ogilvie, our former external examiner, did once email to say she found it funny. But since she’s not a student, it doesn’t count.

An Audience with...
Mr Tom Froese
RESCHEDULED
Due to issues arising from the time difference (Tom is 4,600 miles away in Vancouver), Tom's previously booked session has been rescheduled for Tuesday 28th Oct 4–5pm

Welcome to our 'An Audience with...' programme, a unique series of Q&A sessions featuring accomplished practitioners from the illustration industry. These sessions provide an invaluable opportunity to engage directly with industry professionals, ask questions, and gain insights into their work and creative processes.

The sessions take place on Tuesdays from 2 to 3pm (usually). Full details of the programme can be found within the top folder of every Blackboard module page and here.

To make the most of these sessions, you're required to research each guest artist in advance and prepare thoughtful questions to deepen your understanding and enrich the discussion.
