Art & Design

Priestley College's Art and Design Centre currently provides support for one of the broadest and most diverse ranges of Art and Design courses available anywhere.

The building contains several workshops and studio spaces, each supported by a wealth of dedicated equipment and machinery, for subjects and activities including Textiles, 3D Design Technology, Ceramics, glass and Fine Art, as well as an exhibition space for the display of current and ongoing student work.

There are other studios dedicated to Graphic Design, Digital Photography and the Art Foundation Diploma. Here, a suite of over 70 high specification PCs is installed with a range of industry-standard multimedia software including the Adobe Creative and Video Suite, networked to two A3 Laser duplex colour printers and facilities for students to manufacture anything from t-shirts to mugs.

The department also has two, highly skilled technicians who work full-time to support students and staff across all Art and Design subjects.
