Our Location
We are based on the Medway campus of the University of Kent, and our primary dedicated teaching spaces are on the wonderful Chatham Historic Dockyard. Here we have design studios and workshops located amid extraordinary historic buildings, docks and ships, an excellent source of inspiration and setting for projects. Of course students also have full use of the excellent facilities on the main campus, including library, lecture and seminar rooms, computers, bars and restaurants.
Other Activities; Enterprise and Innovation
We provide a consultancy service, enabling businesses and public sector organisations to enlist our help to develop or enhance their use of celebratory art forms in their cultural and communications strategies. We may act as ‘sounding board’ consultants, researchers, staff development providers or creative producers depending upon need and context.
