3D Design and Craft

Dive into the world of making in three dimensions, where traditional craft meets contemporary design and hands-on experimentation. Here, you’ll think as much as you create, shaping ideas, materials, and objects that are entirely your own.

You’ll have the chance to explore and experiment with a variety of materials, including wood, ceramics, metal, and digital processes such as 3D printing, with scope to engage with emerging approaches and practices. You’ll discover techniques, textures, and forms to bring your ideas to life. Projects might range from furniture, ceramics, jewellery and lighting, to installations and interior objects, with a focus on sculptural and functional outcomes that reflect your personal approach.

Alongside making, you’ll be encouraged to explore research, sustainability, and creative problem solving, helping you develop your own identity as a maker, designer, artist or craftsperson.

You’ll be guided by experienced educators and practitioners who support and challenge you to experiment, question and explore ideas and processes. Seminars, tutorials, and group critiques give you the chance to test ideas, share feedback, and grow your practice in exciting ways.

Within a vibrant community of makers, designers, and artists, you’ll have the support and inspiration to develop your practice, build connections, and graduate, ready to make your mark on the world of 3D design and craft.
