Whitecliffe is expanding its study options with Part-Time Certificate programmes in Fine Arts and Jewellery, offering greater flexibility for those who want to pursue creative education while balancing work, family commitments or other responsibilities.
Designed to support working learners and those looking to explore their creative interests, these programmes allow students to develop practical creative skills while maintaining their existing commitments.
Part-time programmes enable students to continue working while building their creative skills in a structured learning environment. Classes are scheduled to support working learners, combining on-campus studio sessions with independent learning, allowing students to progress their studies while managing professional or personal responsibilities.
These programmes offer an accessible entry point into creative study, helping students gain confidence and foundational skills within a supportive studio environment.
The Certificate in Fine Arts – Part-Time introduces students to studio-based practice across a range of disciplines including drawing, painting, mixed media, printmaking, photography and moving image.
This 32-week, part-time studio-based programme includes one evening class per week and a Saturday morning session, making it suitable for those balancing work or other commitments while pursuing creative study.
Through guided studio exercises and creative projects, students develop essential skills in visual communication and artistic experimentation while building a portfolio of work.
The programme provides a strong foundation for those interested in continuing into further study or exploring creative practice while working.
The Certificate in Jewellery – Part-Time offers a hands-on introduction to jewellery design and fabrication.
This 32-week part-time programme includes one full day on campus, one day of self-directed learning, and Thursday evening classes each week, making it suitable for those balancing work or other commitments while pursuing creative study.
