Break-a-Lead brings you the latest and greatest from Bristol
All artists work starts from the humble beginnings of a lead pencil, but quickly grows into new, inspiring and diverse avenues. Break-a-Lead demonstrates this, presenting a collective of driven, exciting and passionate artists united in their enthusiasm and talent for their craft. The Artists take pride in their diversity, but are unanimous in their ambition and expertise. They are bold, they are brave: they are Break-a-Lead.
The UWE Illustration programme is unique as it places equal emphasis on both technical training and personal style, nurturing each student’s individual approach to the subject. It has a long history of success and is highly regarded within the industry, with students frequently winning awards such as the MacMillan and Penguin/Puffin prizes.
Students go on to work in all areas of the visual arts, from the animation industry to curatorship. UWE Illustration is proud to present its latest up and coming graduates, and invites you to sample Bristol Redchurch Street
