'Building on the overwhelming success of our recent Turps Residency and Turps Summer School, we are excited to announce a series of TURPS 8 WEEK INTENSIVES – short intensive courses at our new spacious studios in Camberwell. The same principles and ethos that drive the respected one-year Turps Studio Programme have been tailored for those with limited time availability who are perhaps not usually based in London, or unable to relocate for a full academic year.'
