Transcription - Student views of location and professional industrial links

"We get to go on visits, and demonstrators come in. We go on visits to the Tate, to the Hayward.  

There are a tremendous number of professional people who live in Ipswich and surrounds who work in London. So if people think Ipswich is isolated from where it's all happening in the capital, they're suffering from a misapprehension because it is only an hour a half away.

We've had visitors in recently, Adobe have come in and an Apple Mac supplier. There's a bookbinding company that have come in and shown us examples and we've been able to book bind with them. Also a paper company have come in and shown us samples. We also went to a printer finisher, and packaging company. They took us around the factory so we could see how the packaging was made and distributed. They took us up to the studio and they showed us how they designed the packaging and how it was cut and prepared."
