A selection of student stories & life after Waters & Acland

Our students fall in love with their craft. Days filled with focused effort pass quickly, and the journeys below showcase their remarkable designs and creations. Take a moment to explore some of their stories — and the exceptional pieces they’ve designed and made during the Designer Maker course. Each piece reflects a deep understanding of the design process, developed through hours of dedication and hands-on learning.

Our next available Designer Maker course starts in September 2026.
