Overview
This course will enable you to take your practice-based skills as a designer and maker to the next level as you establish your career. We will support you in developing your experience, using variety of materials to create high-quality objects that push boundaries, whilst working creatively and ethically.
Our aim is to engage you with key design principles and the working methods necessary to respond to and resolve design problems through processes of research, conceptual thinking, design development and production appropriate to the discipline. This will allow you to develop a holistic understanding with additional insight into historical and contemporary engagement and debate within the Arts.
Our staff are active-makers who exhibit widely, bringing their own experience into teaching to support students as they engage with live commissions and exhibitions.
Our students continue to garner recognition and professional success at national events such as New Designers and have received awards from institutions such as the National Trust, Design Nation, and The Society of Contemporary British Silversmiths.
