Well its nearly the end of this year on the BA Fine Art Carmarthen School of Art. Results and grades next week.
We handed our work in on April 25 and get our results and feedback week of June 6. The Final Year (3rd Year's) Show is open and the PV was yesterday evening. Great to see all that work on display and think about it.
High spots this term have been two programs of tutorials.
The first was on oil-based processes (oil painting in common parlance) with tutor Rhodri Rees

We covered some really strong foundations of solid oil painting work. I have been oil painting for a number of years however I learnt a huge amount under his guidance and encouragement. You can spot an inspiring tutor, clear direction, no nonsense and a light touch.

A wide-ranging program across the 10 weeks, mono print, etching, screen printing and wood cut. The latter two completely new areas for me. Again first-class teaching and someone else from whom you can learn so much. Pete has his own studio in Cardiff and has been involved in programs and projects in the US and Far East.
We are so lucky to have access to this quality of teaching talent and generosity.
