Mini Exhibition - Year 2

Some very interesting and diverse work from the second year students, who only had an hour to put together a mini exhibition! The work presented was a result of drawing and researching at the V&A and the Science museum and the group interpretations include books, pamphlets, narratives, interrelating drawings and 3d pieces amongst others.

Welcome Year 1 !

We had a great start of the year making puppet theatres during the induction week. The first years treated us to some really fun performances and we witnessed some pretty inventive interpretations of the Greek myths. Narcissus & Echo won the loudest applause!

B.A Illustration Degree show 2013

Congratulations to our Yr 3 Illustration students

at The Rag Factory, London, this June.

Well done, good luck and farewell class of 2013!

A slow Commute

April 2013 saw the launch of an exciting student exchange project A Slow Commute in association with Luca College of Art in Gent, Belgium. 

First year students Mitko Karakolev, Louis Burrows and Richard Williams took part in a walk between Gent and Brussels whereby the experience of the journey and changing landscape was documented in transit.


Also taking part in the project were staff and students from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, Czech Republic and the Burg Giebichenstein College of Art and Design in Halle, Germany.

Work made during the project can be seen at: aslowcommute.blogspot.com

Mystery of the Wild Children

We are very excited to have just produced the first publication under the course's Lion & Lamb Press. The book is a record of 19 collaborative collages created by first year students with the guidance of the amazing Graham Rawle! 

The resulting text and images are beautifully suggestive, playful and contemplative. 

Lion and Lamb Press

2013 saw the establishment of the long awaited Illustration Course press and imprint, ‘The Lion and Lamb Press’.  Lion and Lamb Yard is a location in Farnham and makes reference to the new course location. With the move the course has had the opportunity to combine existing staff expertise, practice and experience in book production and printmaking with the excellent printmaking and bookmaking facilities at the Farnham campus, to set up its own course press. 

The aim of the press is to publish small illustrated editions of staff work as well as collaborative editions and the best of BA and MA student books. The press will promote the excellence of illustration and narrative which the course is renowned for, in book form.
