Thankyou! I am so sad for the amazing staff and students there. For Julia the incredible chef who daily turned vegetables into food of the gods... For the Earth, as all the amazing young folk who studied there went on to do excellent work for planet and people. It really is so short-sighted. But I am confident the faculty and syllabus will find another home now that this one has been taken from them. They will rise phoenix-like.

I don't mind the extra work, although it would have been nice if Dartington had let tutors know so that we didn't have to find out via mates texting us links to the local newspaper report! In the meantime, it will make this course more affordable to many, so that's a silver lining.

Disappointing news about the college closure, what a special time it was learning from you there this year. I look forward to Found & ground 2 wherever it may be …& any future offerings …Im contemplating the colour year course as a good recap & prompt to ‘do’ good things.

Also, I was surprised & intrigued to hear that the talented Rima has a painting course in the offing , there is nothing on her website, will you be posting about it Caroline .?

Best of wishes. Jennie

We haven't posted anything apart from mentioning it on Insta briefly as we were just finalising it with Schumacher when they got closed down! As soon as we decide a venue, we can let folks know. Thanks for asking!
