Spotlight

A highlight of my time at BTC was the ‘Incredible Inedible’ project, where we made realistic food out of fabric and materials. Projects that include physical aspects and develop my drawing and communication skills have really improved my confidence. I’m excited to progress onto university to study Art & Design. One day, I hope to work in art restoration.
