My Tutors 1989 - 2001
It's difficult to asses what impact tutors have on you - A contact recently asked about the teaching I received at Winchester School of Art with a mind to applying for a course there, and until then I thought I'd had very little in the way of it.
With hindsight I realise what an important role they have to play and that you must glean everything you can out of them!

I would love to turn the clock back and see how I would get on as a forty year old!
