Four steps.

Each step happens once, in this order. We tell you when the next one starts.

Look around.

Come to an open day or read the course. You can ask anything before you apply.

Apply.

One page about you and up to ten pieces of work, in any medium. Sketches and phone photos are fine.

Hold your place.

A short talk with the course lead, then a €300 deposit holds your place.

You’re in.

We confirm your place by email, with the first week’s brief.

For the January 2027 term, from the first page you send to the first class.

One page in your own words: who you are, what you have made, and what you want from the twelve weeks.

Up to ten pieces of work as images or a link. There is no wrong medium.

The course lead follows your work through all twelve weeks. Tuition is €2,400 for the term, paid once or in three parts.

We tell you why and what to work on. You can apply again for the next term.

No. The course starts from looking and drawing.

Yes. Classes are two evenings a week, and the work at home is about three hours.

Tell your tutor. Each class has a written brief, so you can catch up the same week.

Yes, in three parts across the term. The deposit counts towards the first.

Your portfolio and a Nixole certificate of completion. It is not a university qualification.
