Hi there, I've always regretted not doing an art foundation course after school and going another route. Now I'm considering, 22 years later, giving it a go at our local college starting September. I have three children, aged 2, 6, and 8 and I work freelance in publishing (working at home). We couldn't cope with a year of no income from me. But we could cope with a year of reduced income. My question is how 'full-on' would a foundation course be? How much class time does it involve? What sort of childcare would I expect to need around my two school-aged children and my pre-nursery boy? Am I mad to consider it?? Anyone had any experience, advice etc? I am going to go to the college's open day to ask these questions but am too excited to wait that long!!
