Short Courses
Leith School of Art runs a full and varied programme of short courses. From weekly courses to one-off workshops and week-long courses, we hope you will find something to inspire you.
Day Courses | Evening Courses | Weekend Workshops | Summer Schools | Holiday Courses
We aim to provide a nurturing and structured environment where students of any age, ability or circumstance can thrive. If you would like to find out more about any of our courses or discuss which one is right for you, please contact the School.
Our Short Courses can all be used as a stepping stone towards some of the School’s Year-long courses. A combination of these courses can be extremely effective in building a strong portfolio of work.
