Fine Art at Glasgow School of Arts

Puifai graduated from RST in the Class of 2024 is now in her second, and final, semester of an Art Foundation course at Glasgow School of Arts. An Art Foundation allows students to explore a variety of creative media before specialising - an important part of growing and developing on a pathway in art. We found out where the Foundation year is leading her next...

"Based on my first-semester evaluation, l have now been accepted into the BA (Hons) Fine Art for the Painting and Printmaking program next academic year!

I am so happy that I finally have a focus for my art and have a clear path with my life in art school. I have met many experienced professors and talented people who have different perspectives on creativity, and that has shaped me to be an explorer - to find out what art means to me and why I have decided to be a creative. I found that my art journey at Rugby School Thailand prepared me well for the basics, so now at art school I am in a good place to push myself forward.

I have really good accommodation in Glasgow and it takes me only five minutes walk to my studio. I am also near to a supermarket where I can buy my food ingredients, and it takes me only 15-miutes walk to go down to the city centre. 

Since arriving to live in this city, I feel like I am in a safe place and that I made the right choice for me. I was challenged a lot at first - with the cold weather and drizzle, as well as the Scottish accent which can be hard to understand - but I have adapted to my life in Glasgow and I am happy to be surrounded by an excellent group of people."
