This exciting event, to be held at the British Museum on 31 January 2012, is for current and prospective course leaders and teachers of this qualification. It aims to provide an insight into what makes the FAD so unique and the ethos behind the qualification. We're excited to announce that our keynote speaker for this special event will be the Turner Prize-winning artist (and former Foundation alumnus) Grayson Perry. One of Britain’s foremost practitioners of art, craft and design, Perry creates beautiful, detailed pots, often exploring dark narratives. He has exhibited his work widely and used an interesting range of materials to develop his very personal concepts and ideas.
