Additional Activities



Bishopsland provides information and or instruction in a number of complementary areas.

Photography

Bishopsland has its own photographic unit and you will be taught how to take images to help you present your work to a professional standard. A little application will make you a competent photographer. The equipment, which includes a Canon EOS 400D, with a 60mm Macro Lens, plus flash lighting, soft boxes, boom and back-cloth, may be used under supervision.

Graphics (optional)

Presentation of your work and of yourself is essential to your professionalism and to obtaining recognition from the outside world. You are guided to produce your own brief for your design to be professionally produced. The pack consists of letterhead, compliment slip, business card and labels for packaging. The design and a basic stock of printed items are included during the course at a nominal charge.

Exhibitions, Festivals and Craft Fairs

The opportunity to participate in outside events is included within the course.

In the past we have taken part in exhibitions such as Collect at the V&A, Silver Sparks at Somerset House, Art in Action and the Henley Festival, Shimmer at the Shipley Gallery Gateshead, Art Space Henley, and Bonhoga Shetland.

In addition we have good contacts with other galleries who are pleased to display Bishopsland work.
