“Following on from Level 5, I found myself wishing to advance my skillset further and spend more time to explore and engage with the creative process. Additional new techniques paired with creative freedom allowed me to find solutions to my ideas and carry them out with a sense of artistic satisfaction in the unique setting of the Island Mill Campus.”
