Why choose craft and design?

This semester programme in craft and design offers you a handicraft- and materials-based approach to design. It offers experience in the planning and implementation of a design process from the first idea to the finished product. It gives you the opportunity to develop an awareness of your role and responsibilities when you apply practical handicrafts and materials-based design as a means of fostering change and the development of a sustainable society.

This is what the programme offers

You will choose to study in-depth one or more materials fields such as clay/ceramics, textiles or wood, and go on to develop extensive handicraft skills and a knowledge of materials, tools and techniques. There will opportunities to combine many materials fields, including metals. Exploratory work will enable you to learn to forge connections between form, function and the responsible use of materials.

You will find well-equipped workshops dedicated to materials such as wood, metals, clay and textiles. Different types of project work will challenge you not only to explore the functional, form-related and expressive aspects of handicrafts, but also to develop your own, unique products and forms of expression. You will develop an experience-based awareness of your materials and an ability critically to evaluate and understand your own and others’ roles in fostering sustainable wealth creation as working craftspersons and designers.
