We have our own studio facility with acres of private land located by the Grand Union Canal based near Cheddington, Buckinghamshire within easy access of London making it centrally based for any location requirement.

We also have some AMAZING PRIVATE LUXURY VILLAS with pool, river and large landscaped and forested grounds available in Bali, Indonesia - for those must have blue sky shoots .... where we are able to offer international courses and shoot opportunities .........

Fusion Waterside Studio, Vicarage Farm, Ivinghoe, Bed’s, LU7 9DY . England

Fusion - Waterside Studio has gained a reputation for delivery of unique, valued, proven high end bespoke courses, workshops and work based learning programmes specifically designed for training within a curriculum or for established professional make-up artists, hair stylists and fashion designers who want to get ahead in a demanding and increasingly competitive workplace. In most cases our courses are designed to compliment existing teaching .......

What we provide is ground breaking ! We are a ‘crew’ of teachers who are commercial professional photographers, film makers, stylists and make-up artists who come together to provide bespoke 1 day to 1 week UK programmes moulded to any existing curriculum or requirement. We have been running courses, providing lecturer services and WBL programmes for some years with a number of inspections over the period by Ofsted who have given a ‘outstanding’ evaluation on each occasion. One of our main aims is to provide opportunities for students to work in a commercial environment. We mainly deliver to colleges and universities but do provide service to the individual professional or company who wish to progress.

Increasingly, students leave college countrywide with ‘the same piece of paper’. That's not to demean or understate the value of any qualification but in most cases its just not enough to get that foot in the door.

We are able to help you offer a more individual package which will raise achievement levels, build student confidence while establishing a portfolio fit for purpose. We help students develop ‘Z cards’ with material used for end of year exhibitions, posters and many other applications - the results of which can also used for college PR, student recruitment and marketing. We frequently have press opportunities along with TV exposure of students at work - another indication to how unique what we do is.

In most cases its just getting students inspired and raising confidence levels through the opportunity of experience, developing a unique portfolio .... while having fun !

Our involvement is hard work and sometimes can be longer hours - but the rewards are high and memorable at a cost to the college and / or student that's unbelievably low !!
