Student Testimonials:

"John was an excellent tutor and the course was really good, particularly the site visits. A great experience.”

“I’m totally new to the art world but the way John handled the tutorials made me feel so relaxed. John made the course so enjoyable and this has helped me to have more confidence and encouraged me to be more interested in wanting to pursue Architecture as a career.”

"A really useful course, as an architecture student it helped me to practice drawing skills, to try out different types of media. The tutor gave lots of encouragement and critical comments on sketches. He brought the group together to share drawings and help one another. I'd definitely consider joining the course again to continue sketching development.”

“Throughout my foundation year at Central Saint Martins John was an inspiring tutor who has an amazing and creative mind and pushed us to keep to deadlines and pulls out the best talents in ourselves. I have learnt a lot from him and discovered abilities that I didn't think I had. I will continue to learn from what he has taught me and apply them to my current studies as a Graphic Design student.” H. Wong.

“When John Cash was my tutor on Foundation studies he was extremely supportive and always gave excellent advice that really helped with the development of my work. The wide range of project briefs that he designed for the illustration pathway allowed us to build up good portfolios to apply for BA courses in relevant fields.” F. Wan.
