David Barnes
Past Student, The Prince’s School of Traditional Arts, Education
My name is David and I studied for an M.A. at The Prince’s School For Traditional Arts. The quality and knowledge behind all teaching at the School has been truly inspirational and has impressed on me the idea that all great works of art come from the same place within each craftsman, and that across cultures, time and traditions there is an intimate unity which remains universal to those who look at such works of art.
In going back to first principles (from the alchemy of making pigments to the fundamental forms of the Platonic solids) a holistic and more complete view of art and craft has been allowed to develop in my mind. Like all good education, the M.A. programme has taken me to place and ideas that I hadn’t imagined before.
