"polkadotsonraindrops gives experience that could help with jobs and college while being fun." Yolande Bramble-Carter (Student)

"For me the course was ideal. Mark is intuitive in pitching the basics in timescales to suit different expectations and experiences. Excellent." Chris Williamson (Architect)
 

Project-based work takes place in universities, schools, colleges and youth and community centres. Courses and projects for young people frequently take place during holidays and half-term holidays, weekends or are sometimes extended through sessions over an entire term. On-going partners are Goldsmiths University, Central St Martins College of Art & Design, and the Film & Video Workshop.

We also hire temporary premises for short courses to ensure a comfortable and well equipped work environment. Past venues in London include the Electric Cinema, Stockwell Studios and the Hayward Gallery.

polkadotsonraindrops run residential weeks for young people and adults in collaboration with The Arvon Foundation at their creative retreats all over Britain. We've also run residentials with Derbyshire Council in Derby; Skyros Holidays in Greece and Maison Verte in Roujan, France.

We believe that stimulating environments encourage imagination and creativity. Participants engage with each other and shed their creative inhibitions far quicker when they are away from the normal stress and worries of day to day life.

 
"An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail." Isaac Newton
