We are so proud of our new premises and our students and look forward to opening our doors to showcase these premises as well as a selection of amazing works produced by our talented students. For those who are unable to make it on the evening, we will be offering tours of our new premises in the coming weeks. We welcome anyone to contact us for a tour in the future.
