Want to get some lecturing experience?

Hi, I'm Martin (2nd year PT).

I work PT for UCA (www.ucreative.ac.uk) at the Maidstone campus teaching on the Foundation and Adult Access course.

I've spoken to couple of you about coming down and gaining some work experience. Andrew and Joel are going to come down on Weds 9th December to give a short talk about their work followed by Q&A (in the lecture theatre) and then do some tutorials (studio). I can open up the opportunity to a couple more MA students, with a preference for non-painters (just for variety). This is an especially good opportunity for Video Artists as it will give you a rare chance to screen your work and get some feedback outside Wimbledon.

If you're interested can you email me? I'm m.lang3@wimbledon.ac.uk. Feel free to ask any questions but if you're sure you want to do it you should tell me 3 interesting things about yourself and 5 achievements as an artist (I'll use this for a poster and an introduction on the day).

Here's the deal....

PAY: It's unpaid

STUDENTS: I expect there will be an audience of no more than 45 students, 16 ACCESS and about 27 Foundation (Fine Art specialism). It could be up to 150 if all the Foundation students come (they don't normally come in on a Wednesday though).

TRAVEL: Maidstone East train station is 1 hour from Victoria, direct. If you catch the 07:49am train you will arrive at 08:51. I will pick you up (up to 4 people) and drive you to the college which is not near Maidstone East. I will also drive you back to the station. A return ticket will cost you about £32. If you haven't get a 16-25 "Young Persons" railcard yet I'd get one. I'm 30 but you can get the college to stamp it to say you're a mature student. It costs £20 per annum and gives you 1/3 off most journeys i.e. you'd save c£10 on this trip alone.

It is also possible to get trains to Maidstone East from Cannon St, London Bridge, Waterloo East, and others but you'd need to check yourselves. You could get a train to Maidstone West and walk to the college but there are no direct trains so you'd need to change and that would add 20mins onto you journey, plus the walk.
