Course content

The BA (Hons) Craft Practices course (specialising in Books and Bindings, Ceramics, Clocks, Furniture, Metals and Musical Instruments) is a one-year programme designed to provide a route into professional practice in your chosen field or for progression onto postgraduate study. The course constitutes the final year of a BA (Hons) degree and is suitable for students who have successfully completed one of our Foundation Degree in Arts courses in Books and Bindings, Ceramics, Clocks, Furniture, Metalwork or Musical Instruments.

The programme is intensely practical, with most assignments designed to enable you to create work which enhances your craft skills alongside the development of your own personal interests and voice. Studio Work units, based on your specialist workshop, are run continuously throughout the academic year as the core of the top-up programme, informed and enhanced by Contextual and Professional Research, helping students to situate their practices in a historical and contemporary context. The year culminates in a Summer Show open to the public.
