About this course

Free Level 3 Art and Design Course in Lincoln. Classes run at Christ's Hospital Terrace, full-time during the day. The course runs for 35 weeks and covers studio and location photography alongside a range of industry-style projects. You'll explore traditional and modern techniques, working independently across different briefs. This level 3 art and design qualification is awarded by University of the Arts London, one of the most respected arts institutions in the UK. Whether you're drawn to photography, design, or visual arts more broadly, these art and design classes build the skills and portfolio you need to move forward.

Who this course is for

Do you have a great sense of style? Do your friends and family look to you for the latest trends and advice? Fancy working in the Fashion Industry? This course will be your perfect fit.

You’ll begin by learning the basic skills needed to develop your creativity within Fashion Design and be encouraged to develop a personal style through research and product development. The conclusion of these skills will finish with a self-directed project where you will design and manufacture a small collection of garments that will reflect your interests.

During the course, you will be involved in enrichment workshops and encouraged to blog and create an online presence, as well as seek out work experience opportunities. This qualification is awarded by the prestigious UAL Awarding Body, widely regarded as the best university for the Creative Arts in Europe.

You’ll be based at Lincoln College of Art and Design at Christ's Hospital Terrace (in the Cathedral Quarter) which has excellent facilities including a print room, 3D workshops (ceramics, glass, plaster, wood and metals), a dark room, five MAC suites, fashion workshop, photography and media studios and light and airy art
