Based in Cape Town’s creative hub, the three year, full-time
apprenticeship offers a specialised mosaic art course. This specialist art form
is taught by experts in the field: The mosaic studio is headed up by former
Masters Graduates from the renowned Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli in Italy. The course
includes tuition in drawing, art history, applied theory and business skills.
Because training is employment-based, apprentices gain
invaluable industry experience working on real-world projects - working against
production deadlines, collaborating with high calibre artists and learning
professional art practices by association. Apprentices are also exposed to the
local art and culture scene, via excursions to art studios, galleries, museums
and the art library. The ultimate excursion takes the form of a cultural tour
of Europe - awarded to third year apprentices who perform consistently well.
Under the direction of Yellowwoods Art, the Academy has
produced architectural-scale mosaic artworks to critical acclaim; to date
winning two BASA Awards and the BAMM Award in the UK. The Spier Arts Academy is
also an official project of World Design Capital Cape Town 2014.
