About Us (via Putney School of Art and Design):
The great bonus of a Victorian Design for the building, is the superb Life Drawing Studio on the first floor, with its vast north-facing windows and vaulted wooden ceiling. Since 1895, apart from a brief hiatus during the war years, the school has developed and gradually expanded to its current size, with six studios designed specifically for painting, printmaking, drawing, ceramics and more recently digital design. Originally seen very much as an asset for local people, the school now attracts students from all over London and the Home Counties, partly due to its excellent transport links.
