Our Tutors
Roger Perkins
Has as been a professional sculptor for over forty years and has exhibited in the UK, Europe and the US. His work is in a number of Public Museums and private collections. His work is frequently time-based installation and transient in its nature- in both material and subject matter.
Alongside his professional practice he has taught art and design courses at Foundation, Degree and Post Graduate levels- this has included drawing, sculpture, ceramics and occasionally graphics.
Roger takes a direct and personal interest in the development of a students’ practice- paying particular attention to the individuals’ own voice in the expression of their work whilst, at the same time, encouraging a critical self-motivation. He remains curious about the world and believes curiosity underpins any creative practice.
Didi Baldwin
Didi Baldwin is an artist working in a variety of media currently including printmaking, painting, drawing, collage and photography. Her work is characterised by a sensibility that is borne out of a reaction to place and the moment, using qualities of abstraction to convey an underlying concept.
Didi studied at both the University of the Creative Arts and at Glasgow School of Art, before completing her MA in Fine Art Printmaking at the Royal College of Art in 2002. Her work has been exhibited in Portugal, UK & Japan, and she has undertaken residencies in the UK, Spain and Iceland.
Working in Education has always acted as an important counterpoint to her art practice, and she has taught for over twenty-five years, tutoring at Foundation, Undergraduate and Post Graduate levels.
