Public Art returns in October 2026. The programme will be posted here in due course.
This course will not duplicate material in previous series but prior attendance is not a pre-requisite.
Public art is considered as art in "public" places, which is taken fairly widely to include the street, parks, town squares, railway stations, churches, hospitals, universities, buses... It ranges from traditional bronze sculptures of public figures to “street art”, abstract works in new materials and even sound and light installations. The works may be made from steel, bronze, other metals, resin, wood, stone, glass, concrete, ceramics, or other materials.
All sessions will be fully illustrated, mostly with the tutor’s own photographs. The sessions are informal and class discussion is encouraged. There may also be a visit given sufficient interest.
