ENSAD

ENSAD has its roots in the Royal Free School of Art. Founded in 1766 to develop crafts relating to the arts in order to improve the quality of manufactured goods. Through a rigorous and demanding apprenticeship in the arts, the school strove to combine technique and culture, intelligence and sensitivity, so as to enable the more gifted artisans to develop into creative artists. After several changes of name, in 1877 the school became the National School of Decorative Arts before taking its present name of ENSAD in 1927.
