BETHAN HUWS

I attended the first-ever year of the Art Foundation Course, in 1980, when it was still at the Coleg Normal site in Upper Bangor. Although initially I was not too pleased to be there, having been accepted to a London art school – and then, lo and behold, a new Foundation Course opened in Bangor! – but I soon settled in. 

The most memorable class was the life class with Peter Prendergast, which I both loved and dreaded at the same time. He took us all to task, just as he took himself to task – and nobody got out alive! It was wonderful, and instilled in me a lifelong passion for drawing.
