Develop skills through experimentation and practice.
Explore ideas, share perspectives and discover your own creative voice.
I’m Alex Gibson, the school’s founder and first teacher. I’m an artist and creative technologist with a Master of Fine Arts.
My work moves between the hand and the machine: drawing machines, point clouds, generative and AI-made images, and live printmaking performances with the collective Performprint. I also lead creative and technology teams in the arts.
Looking closely is where everything I make begins, whether the tool is a pencil or a line of code. That’s what I want to teach.
A school is the people in it. We want this to be a place where people learn together, share their work, swap ideas and build a creative practice that lasts well beyond one course.
As the school grows, we plan to add open studio nights, exhibitions of student work, group critiques and talks by visiting artists. Newsletter subscribers will hear about them first.
Hear about new classes, workshops, artist talks and creative ideas from our studio.
