Early in the morning David and I headed for Winchester where he is Head of the Printmaking Department at the Winchester School of Art. David had invited me as guest lecturer for a week after his visit to Iceland last fall. Thanks David! I’m basically unemployed these days, and although the travel is expensive, making a bit of money here and there is a life-saver. And anyway, I love to be doing this kind of teaching work!
The academic program that David has set up in the Printmaking Department is a dynamic combination of visiting tutors and regular advisers for the three years of study. He has opened up the system for the students to actively pursue whatever medium suits their work — photography, video, digital media (although they unfortunately do not yet have Internet access), audio, along with more traditional working techniques on paper.
