Plenty of them don't - lots of foundation courses have multiple pathways or options you can choose to pursue, so it should be entirely possible to just not choose any of the digital options. You may need to edit or present your work in a digital format occasionally (but that is standard), but otherwise this shouldn't be an issue.

Are you hoping to do an integrated foundation year at a university or a FAD course at a university or local sixth form/college?

Hello,
I am a course rep for University of the Arts London where we offer art and design foundation courses. If you don't want to focus on digital aspects and have a clear understanding on what area of fashion you want to focus on, I suggest applying for our specialism foundation course. We offer specialism or diagnostic foundation courses. The first is for those with a clear understanding of what they would like to study while the latter is available for those who still would like some time to explore a range of art and design pathways.

I have linked below our website link for foundation courses, you can scroll through and see which suits you best

Hiya @premature-corner,

Are there any specific subject areas of art and design you are interested in?
Kingston University offers a Foundation Dip in Art and Design that you may be interested in 🤗
At Kingston School of Art, we have amazing open access 3D Workshop Facilities that offer a blend of both analog and digital! We are located along the river Thames in south-west London, offering a balance of both tranquil greenery and city life 🤭
However, no matter how hands-on the approach is, you will eventually need to learn how to digitise, present and submit your work online. I have attached a few links you might find useful below 🤗 I hope this helps and feel free to ask me any questions about life in Kingston!
