Rianna Davis

Art and Design National Diploma

“We’re given the freedom to express ourselves, but the lecturers are always on hand to offer advice and suggestions. I’ve really improved my cutting and making techniques and I’ve created some difficult garments. I’m now studying fashion at Bedfordshire University and I’m really grateful for all the support that West Thames gave me.”
