Ask most students what a programme feels like and they picture lectures and slides.
Ask most students what a programme feels like and they picture lectures and slides. At RPSA, the answer is a bench, a wheel, a drawing board, or a workbench with a saw in hand, from the very first week. Ruth Prowse does not ease students into the work. It puts them in the Studio and lets them make.
This is not a rejection of theory. It is a belief that ideas become real through the hands, and that a student who has struggled with a material understands it in a way no textbook explains. Across our three Studios, Fine Art, Graphic Design and Jewellery Design, the pattern holds: you will be making from day one.
