Course Summary

MA Glass is a unique degree focused on the history, creative practice and culture of glass as a material. Based primarily in our world-class, state-of-the-art hot glass and kiln-formed glass studios, you will be immersed in the study of traditional and contemporary applications of this specialist craft. Steeped in a rich and multi-cultural history of material discovery and the evolution of methodologies of practice over centuries, this course provides you with the opportunity to focus on learning the vast bodies of knowledge and techniques for making glass. As a substance that is used in nearly every sector of life, including architecture, product design, digital devices and screens, scientific lenses, automotive design, interior design, solar energy, and fibre optics, you will be taught the fundamental properties and behaviours of glass and how it came to be developed as a material of significant utility and revered for unparalleled beauty. Learning its history and many applications will open up your individual pathway of practice-led research into how glass might be reimagined or innovatively applied in a contemporary context.
