Friend wants to get into set design

2 years, 6 months ago - Lynwood Shiva Sawyer

Just realized that all the set designers I know studied either fashion design or interior design.
Are there any courses in set design per se?
What would SP set designers recommend?
I told her that quite a few of the people I know in the indie realm learned on the job, and she is indeed willing, nay, eager to PA for a set designer.
Any leads. Thanks, guys

https://www.arts.ac.uk/ have something I believe. Generally, though, set design is great...but having a good understanding of specific periods etc will be a huge plus, so maybe getting a bunch of history in the mix will be advantageous?

Ps. Love your profile picture, which I believe is a camel.

This is quite interesting as I'm in the same boat. I'm venturing into Set Design and I have recently signed up for a 4-day introductory course at UAL here in London. I have also seen that there quite a number of workshops and short courses available. So maybe she can try this route as well
