Our Tutors
Roger Perkins
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.
