Hung by the people who made it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There is no curator. The technicians put up the walls and run the power, and after that the hang belongs to the students. They measure, argue, move each other’s work by a few centimetres and move it back. It takes most of a week, and it is one of the few times the whole year group works on the same thing at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also, quietly, the last lesson of the year. A piece that looked finished in the studio can look unfinished on a white wall under proper light, and there is still time to do something about it. Several of this year’s leavers did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nobody here hangs your work for you. If it looks wrong on the wall, that is the last thing the school has to teach you.<\/p>Adam Holloway, Head of School<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n On Wednesday 6 May the building stays open until nine and the workshops downstairs are lit, with a technician in each. It is the best evening to come if you want to see how the things upstairs were actually put together: the kiln room, the etching press, the grade suite, the booths with the patch cables still in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The show is a good first visit for families thinking about the school, because nobody is performing for you. On the Saturdays someone from Admissions is on the front desk from ten until four, and will happily walk you round, answer questions about entry or just point you at the room your child keeps drifting back to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are applying yourself, come and look at what the Portfolio Year produces. It is the clearest answer we can give to the question of what the year is for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No. Walk in during opening hours. Groups of more than fifteen are asked to email ahead so the students on duty know to expect you.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n Yes. There is a lift to all three floors, and the stages and booths have step-free entrances. The live room is loud; ear defenders are at the door.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n Some of it. Where a maker has chosen to sell, a price is on the label, and everything goes to the maker except a small amount for next year’s materials fund.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n Most of what is on the walls started as something else in September. Come and see what it turned into.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen to come<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
