Summary
Our MA Glass programme encourages the development of individual and distinctive glass practice through engagement with contemporary approaches to the material, critical and cultural context and debate.
Ethos The MA Glass programme encourages entrepreneurial creativity through self-initiated approaches to making, whilst considering glass at its extreme edges in relation to process, technique, application, customer use and audience. The rich range of symbolic resonances and technological applications of glass form an essential part of our interrogation of this material. In addition to its focus on material qualities and the heritage of glass practice, the programme embraces the rise of digital tooling as part of an ongoing conversation with the emerging glass technologies. Our custom built workshops, created in 2013, are equipped to industry standard, including both electric and gas kilns, glass furnaces, a plaster room, cold working facilities and a glaze laboratory.
Outline You will be invited to challenge preconceptions about glass as material and its status within the world of craft, art and design, by placing materiality and conceptual development at the centre of your practice. You will be encouraged to examine personal references and capitalise on collaborative opportunity, as well as interacting with emerging technologies and sustainable solutions. You will also benefit from our international networks – the college has hosted glass artists such as Antoine Leperlier and Heike Brachlow. Taught delivery within the programme provides a mix of discipline-specific methods and cross-disciplinary approaches that can be applied across creative and commercial sectors. Our shared module structure allows you to develop a dialogue with creative practitioners across the Graduate School.
Supported practices This programme supports a spectrum of approaches to glass, encouraging dialogue between studio traditions, as well as conceptual and critical approaches to material-based practice.
