First week of term 5th Sept- Visit to Carrow Road Museum

Our first week of term saw several visits to the Castle Museum and Carrow Road museum in Norwich for the students first project 'Collections.'

Both visits were very interesting with insightful tours and lectures. Thanks to Carrow House and the Castle staff, we really enjoyed the visits!

Wensum Lodge - An inspiring setting!

Located right on the river down King Street, the Art Foundation at Wensum Lodge is afforded a beautiful setting. The centre houses an atmospheric undercroft dating back to the middle of the 12th century. The Jurnet's House is the only surviving example of Norman twelfth century domestic architecture. A pretty inspiring setting to study art and design in! Here are a few pictures around the site to give you an idea...
