The Illustration Course was based in the delightful Chad Varah House, easily reached from whatever Hotel I found myself in. For anybody familiar with the quasi monastic ambience of the Monastery at Norwich School of Art, Chad Varah was a home from home. Clearly ecclesiastical fittings and spaces jostled uneasily with the Bohemian and outrageous. The garden where we all met up for lunch was a delight, and a reluctance to return to the assessment show was plain to see.
