Central Saint Martins London Visit and Tour

Central Saint Martins

London

Visit and Tour

For information on this fashion school, please visit my May 31st posting

Central Saint Martin's Granary Building used to be an old mill so they use the space for a open concept for the students.  Painters mix with sculptures, with fashion students, and so on.

Although many rooms were closed for cleaning over the summer break, Mimi said it felt like a "small city".  This is the loom room

Central Saint Martins also has a open top terrace on the roof!

This is her first tour in England where she wasn't the only participant - she met prospective students from Philadelphia, Tokyo and India!

Central Saint Martin's gave Mimi the impression that it will be hard to gain admission, but so worth the try.

This is a design based fashion school - you can even have a seamstress for your final line!  The school is focused on your design, not your construction.

Mimi really loved the school and atmosphere - even though they support a foundation year.  I like the way they support a fashion students rounded out education, and Mimi understands the importance of this as well.  She's just eager to be sewing and designing on a higher education level.  Can't blame her!

Such a cool building

and such cool creative spaces

Out door creative spaces too!

a water fountain outside!  What a day these guys had!  Beautiful!

I have been told that the headmaster roller skates around the building!

Schools are closed Saturday and Sunday, so Tom and Mimi get to be a tourist and take a break.

On ward to the sight seeing!

Monday will be a tour and visit of Westminster School of Art - I love my reports from Mimi!
