SUMMER SCHOOL for artist teachers
Tuesday 31 August - Thursday 2 September
This three-day intensive course aims to further your enthusiasm for making art. The course, led by artist
Tanya Axford, will be a chance to explore the process of making art. Throughout the course, participants
will have the opportunity to consider their own artistic practice and how it might be developed within a
supportive and creative environment.
Tanya Axford is based in Newcastle and has exhibited extensively in the UK. She is represented by Workplace
Gallery, Gateshead. Northumbria University staff also teach on the summer school.
The summer school forms an essential component of the MA Fine Art and Education and is an exciting and innovative
