This post provides a summary of two of the recorded sessions that are available from OCASA’s Summer of Sustainability 2024.

Kay is currently studying stage 1 Drawing. "I am a mother of two young girls and we live in a small village in the Swiss Alps."

Unfortunately we can't include everyone is the zine but we want to showcase their work and encourage folk to submit to the next issue.

If you haven’t accessed the Arts, the Environment and Sustainability VLE Resource yet here’s a brief overview of its intent and content.

We want your help in putting together an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion calendar for 2025. 

I needed to reconnect with my real self, art was what was missing in me. I researched different courses and OCA fitted in with all my needs.

This December 2024 will see the relaunch of OCA’s zine, edge. 

Some more student work as part of our Summer of Sustainability. Thanks to Eleanora Alis, Elizabeth and Emily for sharing.

In February 2024 we did a call out for members of the OCA community to share their creative making spaces with us. Here is the final result.

As an international educator, with over thirty years’ experience of teaching in disparate countries and continents throughout the world,...

My experience with OCA has been central in my ability to think like an illustrator, and not a hobbyist.

The ArtLab23 Artists Collective is a made up of OCA Alumni whose group exhibition is opening at Willesden Gallery, London on the 9 July.

When faced with challenges, focus on your goal. Don't wait for the perfect moment; do and make it now.

We asked students working within the theme of the environment or the climate crisis to share their work with us.

Getting to the end of this degree has validated my identity as a creative / artist.

OCA Textiles Alumna Ailish Henderson tells us about the launch of her new book following her creative learning journey with OCA.

In short this has been a journey of both self-discovery and validation.

I found an OCA flyer by chance, loved painting and thought "that seems like a good idea".

If I can do it you can. Throw yourself into the work and experiment.

I have always been crafty; making zines and art books but only started taking my creative work seriously during lockdown.
