By the end of my degree I hope that I become an independent artist, to the point where I can exhibit and sell my works globally. The Foundation course allowed me to understand what specialism I fully enjoyed and allowed me to see my strengths and weaknesses were. I did not think of ceramics as an avenue for my future, but now It is something I have a true passion for now. I came into the Foundation course with a Textiles and Photography background, and I came out of it with an understanding for conceptual art, ceramics, sculpture, painting, and completely different mediums I never thought I would have a talent for unless I did the Foundation course. It became an opportunity to gain an artist’s mentality. The Foundation course was the steppingstone between A-Levels and a creative degree.
