Recommended Reading
The college has its own Learning Resource Centre that houses an extensive collection of books and journals. However, from time to time, it’s useful to have access to your own copies.
There is no single text which we would ask you to buy, but we will expect you to explore and get to know a broad range of art, design and fashion books, journals and websites to support your own practical work. Creative books are frequently available at low prices in discount book shops – buy what you like to help support the development of your own ideas, interests and enthusiasms.
