They also need to bring a spare set of batteries with a battery charger, the instruction manual for their camera (essential) Tripod (if they have one) and a memory card reader.

Faculty Information:
This teaching center does not affiliate with state education facilities and provides courses without examinations for enthusiasts.
Other Activities:
Starting from Summer 2008, there will be a special program to invite artists from Italy, Europe and overseas to come over to the workshop and hold special topics courses. The aim is to offer our students a wide variety of approaches and to strengthen inter cultural understanding through the arts.
By confronting printmaking with other media, tutors, artists and students will be able to develop professional projects or ambitious bodies of work and to understand the practice of being an artist or to relate with the art business. Visiting Artists in 2008: Irene Woodbury, American artist; Ann Swan, English botanical artist; Zara Matthews, English photographer and painter.
Facility Information:
The studio currently has facilities for: etching, relief printing, screen printing, digital, binding, paper-making. Studio facilities are provided at reasonable cost for any artist who wishes to work with an "open access formula", by previous appointment. We also support applications from visiting artists.
