Kragerø Kunstskole

Kragerø Kunstskole is a one- to two-year visual arts school in Kragerø, Norway. Courses include painting, drawing, graphic design, ceramics, glass, 3D modelling, sculpture, land art, photography and theory. The first year consists of intensive modules of one to three weeks with working artists and designers, and the second year centres on independent projects and building a portfolio.

The school is aimed at students preparing for careers in the visual arts, design and craft. Applications are submitted through an online form, and the programme is approved for Lånekassen, the Norwegian state student loan scheme. Teaching combines a core of permanent teachers with guest teachers who are artists, filmmakers, craftspeople, photographers and graphic designers.
