Open
Written on the board since 2017
Three school rules.
That is all.
please do not rub out!
Nobody gets marked.
No grades, no tests, no homework you did not choose. The only deadline is showcase night, and that one has snacks.
Twelve seats, never more.
Small enough that the tutor knows your name by week two and your bad habits by week three.
Everything is on the table.
Clay, paper, film, ink and tea are in the fee. Bring yourself and, ideally, an old shirt.

Why adults learn better on a Tuesday night
Nobody is marking you and nobody made you come. It turns out that changes everything.

School life
The showcase night, in pictures
Eighty students, one long table of work and far too much cheese.
