'I was a trained traditional Islamic artist before I was admitted into this traineeship.  The traineeship has given me a unique opportunity to learn many new things and to meet and share experience with other practising artists.  I am now learning stained glass and printmaking as well as pottery.  I am hoping to use the new knowledge alongside that which I have already acquired through my education and training in Pakistan. My aspiration is to work in mixed modes.  I have attended workshops, and meeting other artists in a professional setting has been helpful.  The traineeship is helping me to develop greater confidence about practice and this can only help.'
