This pathway engages with the renewed interest and status of the craft object and small batch production and its role in design. The role of Designer Maker is undergoing an evaluation, away from a marginal activity to one which engages with other disciplines, fine art and design. The value of the one off or short run production product has brought to the attention of a broad audience of both makers, collectors and industry. This course offers the opportunity to critically engage with this debate, through both practice and theory. Suitable for: Applicants from both Fine Art and Design backgrounds including, architecture, craft production, makers involved with one-off or small batch production, ceramicists, prototype designers, jewellery designers and metal workers.

Course programme

The Designer Maker (Visual Arts) pathway will allow you to develop a project from proposal to final exhibition. You will be asked to research the content, materials and technical skills, then produce written and practical work exploring your subject in relationship to contemporary practice. You should be well grounded in relevant aspects of design and be able to define and debate your study proposal.

This programme of work is supported, negotiated and supervised throughout the course by specialist academic staff in workshops, individual tutorials, seminars and lectures. Staff and student-led seminars promote debate and work-in-progress sessions allow for supportive critique.

Studies are complemented by lectures, seminars and workshops designed to help you develop wider contextual understanding, research skills and awareness of professional issues.

Dedication: Full-time.
