Dr Bethan Gordon, Dean of the School of Art and Design at Cardiff Met said: “Cardiff School of Art and Design’s short courses run throughout the year at our Llandaff campus and are designed to suit all learners. It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced artist or designer, considering returning to Higher Education and preparing your portfolio, or are just keen to learn a new skill - there is something for everyone.

“Anyone who takes part in the courses will have the opportunity to learn from our experienced tutors, working in some of the excellent studio spaces available in the Cardiff School of Art and Design, alongside likeminded learners.” Please note that bookings for all courses will close exactly one week prior to the start of the course.

Courses run throughout the year at Cardiff Met’s Llandaff campus, typically starting each autumn, spring and summer term. To sign up for our mailing list and receive updates on our programme of courses, email your contact details to coas@cardiffmet.ac.uk.

All courses are available to book now. Further information can be found on the Cardiff Metropolitan University website.
