Inverlochy offers three full year programmes that run for four terms of the year (subject to enrolments). The purpose of these progressive series of workshops is to give students a more complete, rounded set of skills, potentially enabling you to become full-fledged exhibiting artists/artisans.

Most of these courses can be taken individually; there is no obligation to complete the full four term year and it is still possible to start doing these courses further into the year.

The term classes are held during weekdays or evenings with optional weekend workshops. The one and two day workshops are designed as modules to reinforce and strengthen certain skills in relation to the core programme.
