Workshops
The School also organises Winter workshops open to non-students and focusing on a range of areas, including ceramics, sculpture, carving, mosaic, drawing, photography, printing, video, animation and web design.
In 2004 Famul started to co-organise the 5-day production courses in classical and stop-motion animation within the Animateka International Animated Film Festival. Although the cooperation continues, the School's regular animation courses within the festival's period have not been offered to non-students for the moment.
Public projects
Students at Famul Stuart School of Applied Arts present their work at biannual exhibitions in the school and in public spaces, most often in the gallery of the Celica Hostel. The screenings usually take place in Kinodvor Cinema.
In 2006 the Famul's innovative local artistic and urban low budget projects were exhibited in Venice alongside an international urbanistic conference and received a loud thumbs up. The URBActions display included the following projects: reviving the Drenov Grič abandoned quarry, Park'n'Play functional park sculpture as neighbourhood communication tool (2002), Willowart & Constructing, willow pavilions and playgrounds in the Fužine kindergarten (2004), Underground City and Metroljub – a revitalisation of urban underground passages (2006).
In 2007 the Quest4 glorytreemachine site-specific projects were realised by the Famul students on the premises of the former convent of Sant'Elena in Venice. Both exhibitions were prepared in collaboration with the University of Nova Gorica.
