Our education programmes

Centred in the practice of traditional arts, our educational programmes guide the development of an understanding of the Order of Nature as a core inspiration for visual arts throughout time. Students come to recognise the potential of traditional art to convey beauty, to positively impact the environment, to impart wisdom, and to enrich the life of their immediate, and the global community in the most essential manner.

Short courses and lectures

Experience the traditional arts through lectures and short, practical courses taught by experts from around the world. Open to all and inspired by the media, methods and materials taught in our postgraduate programmes.
