Glass – Contemporary Dialogues (MA)

University of Wales Trinity Saint David

MA Glass – Contemporary Dialogues (Part-Time) at Swansea College of Art is a great opportunity to explore the creative potential of glass practice while balancing your studies with other commitments. Glass is a unique material known for its transparency and durability, and its use in architecture and design has expanded with new advances in glass technology. This part-time master’s programme allows you to discover these developments while building your own skills over a flexible period of time. Throughout the course, you will gain hands-on experience with a range of glass techniques, from traditional methods like kiln-formed glass and coldworking to modern cutting-edge glass technology. Whether your focus is on product, sculpture, or architectural glass, the programme encourages you to experiment with materials and explore different forms of expression. You will be able to work on projects at your own pace, with plenty of time to reflect on and refine your practice. Collaboration is an important part of the course. You will have the chance to work with students from other creative fields in a cross-disciplinary practice that broadens your artistic perspectives. The course challenges you to apply your glasswork to a variety of real-world settings, such as public installations and private spaces, allowing you to push the boundaries of what glass can achieve. The aim is to help you develop innovative solutions, whether for functional or decorative purposes, while expanding your critical understanding of the medium.
