Use the portfolio tune-up zone and the terrace to show your work to a wide range of art school tutors, who are at FORMA to give you feedback.

What you need to bring:

We encourage students to bring a DIGITAL portfolio to FORMA. This need be nothing more complex than a collection of pictures on your phone of your sketchbooks / portfolio / work in progress.

Seeing images of your work will really help the art school lecturers at FORMA understand where you are coming from. Highly experienced artists and makers, as well as senior university teachers, they will give advice and support to help you move to the next level.
