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

Focus for the course comes through negotiating a creative and developmental response through regular tutorials and studio practice. I held it imperative to evolve an instrument of thought which would aid in cutting through all cultural opiates, past and present, so that a direct, immediate, and truly free vision could be achieved, and an idea be revealed with clarity.

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 Observation, composition, measuring and expression are key elements and poses are also given an historical reference and context.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.)

How To Draw From the Model: Developmental

The plate is covered with ink and then wiped clean. The ink left in the recesses makes the print when paper is pressed into them on the etching press. The course is a combination of structured teaching and informal workshop time. Please refer to the Fact Sheet for further information.

Our lecturers are all practising professionals artists and will help and guide you, whatever your level of artistic ability. One-to-one and small group tutorials are included to support you in your studies and you can get specialist advice about progression to higher level courses, if you wish.

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.

Apprenticeships - Earn while you learn!

If you are at work then you and your employer may be eligible to benefit from one of our Apprenticeship programmes. Apprenticeships are designed to give you all the skills you need to advance in your career, including vocational qualifications and help with the sort of maths and English you need to do your job. Apprenticeships are available at two different levels, and we will help you and your employer to find the one that's right for you. We offer apprenticeships in the following areas:

Business Administration Children's Care Learning and Development Construction Creative and Cultural Health and Social Care Hairdressing Information Technology Playwork Sport

You will be asked whether you qualify for reduced fees. Please remember that if you claim a reduction you must provide proof that you are entitled to it.

Please Note: This option is not available for Modern Foreign Languages, Basic Skills, ICT or English for Speakers of Other Languages courses where there are specific Advice and Guidance times in the course listing, course guide, on the website or from our course enquiries line on 020 7573 5333.

If you do not provide this your enrolment will be delayed and you could lose your place on the course. If during your course you leave your job then it is your responsibility to reimburse the company if required.

Can I get a refund or a transfer?

Home/EU students are entitled to a full refund if you withdraw from a course two weeks or more before the course starts. The college will also refund your money in full if your course is closed or the time or venue is changed and you have to withdraw as a result of this. You may be entitled to transfer to another course or in exceptional circumstances be eligible to a voucher or partial refund by voucher (excluding an administration charge) valid for one calendar year. However, please note that the college does not normally refund fees after the course has started unless due to unforeseen circumstances brought on by the college changing the course venue, time or closure. Application forms can be obtained from the website www.kcc.ac.uk, our main centres or by contacting our course enquiries team. Transferring to another course will be limited to once per enrolment and will not be acceptable after the fourth week of the course. If at the time of enrolment you do not have the relevant documentation to receive a concessionary fee and pay a standard fee to ensure a place on a course then a full refund of the difference will be made. If, however, you are awaiting confirmation of benefit at the start of the course and it is not backdated to before the course start date then a refund will be made only for the outstanding terms of the course. This also applies to changes in working status during the course. So if the course is only one term then no refund will be made. Please ensure you retain your payment receipt as no refund or transfer can be made without this. For details of refunds and forms, please contact a member of our Admissions team on 020 7573 3600.
