MA Design: Ceramics, Furniture, Jewellery at Central Saint Martins

|

The MA Design: Ceramics, Furniture, Jewellery course at Central Saint Martins explores traditional forms of craft through a contemporary and sustainable lens.

MA Design: Ceramics, Furniture, Jewellery will develop your creative abilities, imagination and expertise.

Framed within one course, we use design to explore these evolving disciplines, embracing ideas of practice beyond traditional definitions. This creates a range of hybrid practices disrupting assumptions around design, craft and production.

Your creative focus will evolve through a structured process of research, design ideation, exploration, development and evaluation.

Encouraging you to expand skills intellectually, contextually and practically, extending and exploiting design strategies from your own and other disciplines. To question and test ideas through teamwork, collaborations and group critiques.
