Limited Edition Prints By Bill Tolley

Adobe PDF. Brochure At the age of fifteen Bill Tolley won a special scholarship
for St Martins School of Art in London as part of a new experiment in art
education. It was a three-year course that took on ten boys and ten girls and
was intended to catch pupils at a young age - enabling them to capture the
spontaneous, naive approach to art. The idea was to create an artist with the
ability to be 'free minded' and to capture this insight before it was lost
through age. Bill Tolley did not actually apply for this scholarship; his
teacher at the time was so impressed by his artwork that he submitted it without
Bill Tolley knowing: needless to say that when the acceptance letter came
through both Bill Tolley and his family were very surprised!
