What will I learn?

Develop your creative ceramic and glass practice within the material- and research-led processes of applied art. Learn from a teaching team integrating cutting-edge research and pedagogical innovation. Advance your creativity and critical thinking with a wide range of insights from arts and design practitioners, theorists and historians. Focusing on materialities and working through the transformative power of materials, we can gain a unique understanding of the world. Our daily lives are increasingly shaped by images. Yet every image is situated within complex material realities. We encourage students to explore these complexities through traditional craft techniques and cutting-edge technological innovations. Since its inception, this RCA Ceramics & Glass programme has driven a global perspective on material-based pedagogy and a fusion of art, design and skilled making. Your learning will be self-directed and self-reflective, critical in nature and thoroughly contextualised in disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge.
