Building on a history of excellence object making including furniture, the Object and Furniture studio introduces you to the principles, practice and processes of design and manufacture, incorporating a variety of techniques for conceptualising, developing and presenting design solutions. Learn to develop these skills, be inspired to work at the cutting-edge of object-based practice and produce effective and professional design solutions.

The Photography studio allows you to explore and develop your own conceptual and visual potential, while challenging preconceived notions of the medium along the way. You'll also be introduced to technical skills using light-sensitive materials and camera-generated images. Everything you learn will further the individual expression of your concepts.
