Quotes from Past Members

"Bishopsland hones everything. Pope explains to us that we are not students, we're self employed with visiting tutors available, rather than lecturing. John Bartholomew, previously a technician at the RCA visits and teaches silversmithing once a week. On another day the jeweller Lin Chueng visits as well as the silversmith Andreas Fabian." - Shimara Carlow (Bishopsand 2002-3)

"I have built up my contacts throughout my time at Bishopsland. I'm now exhibiting in a number of galleries. I've learned a lot about mass production, marketing and PR but also I've had time to think about new ideas." - Kathryn Hinton

"It's quite tough because you are immediately exposed to a highly competitive market-place. In your very first week you are expected to produce a range of jewellery for the Jelly Leg'd chicken gallery....if someone is selling earrings like fury and you have not got your act together the pressure is unavoidable." Goldsmiths Review.
