There is an emphasis on the context and understanding where your work fits into the field. This really helps your work to develop.
There have been several memorable lectures from industry guests including Karen Nicol, an embroidery and mixed media artist; Guy Hills, the Co-founder of Dashing Tweeds; Louise Richardson, a textile artist; Sarah Angold, an innovative designer specialising in laser cutting; and Sam Wingate, a NUA graduate who founded Mr Wingate.

I’ve enjoyed having the time to focus on research, develop ideas and bring these to my practice. We’re encouraged to follow our own interests and I’ve enjoyed bringing my love of walking and being in the natural landscape to my work.
I’ve also enjoyed the sense of community on the MA course. We work alongside students from different disciplines which is really valuable as it offers a different perspective and can lead to exciting collaborations.
I feel very fortunate to be one of the Dubery and Brogden East Anglian Art Fund Scholarship recipients and have really valued EAAF’s support and encouragement. A highlight was having the opportunity to exhibit my work at the ‘Two Lives in Colour’ exhibition at East Gallery earlier this year.
Scholarships
The Dubery and Brogden scholarship was established in September 2016, following a substantial bequest made to the East Anglia Art Fund (EAAF) from the Estate of artists Fred Dubery and Joanne Brogden.
This money has enabled EAAF to provide scholarships worth £2,500 per year of study to one postgraduate student on the following courses: MA Fashion, MA Fine Art and MA Textile Design.
Richard Jewson, Chairman of Trustees, East Anglia Art Fund said: “In 2016 East Anglia Art Fund celebrates 25 years of supporting art exhibitions in the region. This bequest represents an immensely exciting opportunity to extend our work with artists, supporting their study at the Norwich University of the Arts”.
