As part of a recent campus development project, the College has a range of different studios including a large studio space used for both 2D work and workshops, and a 3D/ sculpture workshop which contains a vaccuum former and an A2 laser cutter.
The print studio hosts a variety of printmaking equipment including an Etching Press for dry-point etching, a Roller Press for surface and lino printing, and Heat Presses used for heat transfer and disperse printing. The Texttile and Fashion studios contain Loom, screen printing, and sewing machines to assist with weave and knit and stitch working.
The College also has a design studio and digital video suite, which makes use of Apple Macs and professional software packages such as Adobe Creative Cloud software; including adobe photoshop, illustrator, premiere and animate. For chemical phtography and black and white film processing students are able to make use of the Dark Room, which includes 12 Englargers for photographic processing. There is also a photographic studio with a lighting rig and studio lighting setups.
In addition to the facilities on campus, students can benefit from a range of study visits to galleries and museums, and various guest lectures by professional artists and designers.
The Eastleigh College Board and Senior Management Team have launched an ambitious strategy for the period 2020-24 that sets out the College’s priorities to see more learners, be more successful, more often.
The College has remained open throughout the Covid-19 pandemic for many learners and as from September 2020 all learners (including those planning to attend at College House) have returned to a full high-quality education programme as per government guidelines.
