Adults'
Design Academy

A creative outlet for enthusiastic people!

The Adults´ Design Academy group meets on Wednesdays from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Piispankatu 8.

The theme for Spring 2024 is "Medieval Times - a new era of design." During this term, students will study the secrets of printing and medieval castles, while learning about material-oriented design and proportions.

Program (in Finnish)

 

The Adults’ Design Academy is suited for adults of all ages. No previous knowledge of design or arts and crafts is needed. The curriculum follows Finnish design history; different themes and study modules are explored both in theory and with new techniques. The studies in the Adults’ Design Academy are goal-oriented but easy-going, not forgetting coffee breaks.

The adult group is a mix of serious study, joy and easy-going humour. Come along!

The Academy of Design conducts an extensive curriculum of basic art studies with an emphasis on design. A certificate is obtained for the completed studies, which is useful, for example, when applying for art-oriented studies.

Medieval Time - A New Era of Design

Medieval castles and the development of printing technology.

During the semester, we will explore the great visionaries and inventors of the era, conduct experiments, and make observations with various materials. We will learn how printing technology evolved and explore different printing techniques through hands-on activities. In the spring, the focus will be on material-oriented design and proportions.
