3D Design and Craft (with placement year) BA (Hons)

Dive into the world of making in three dimensions with our BA (Hons) 3D Design and Craft course, 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.<br/><br/>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 practices and future technologies. 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.<br/><br/>Alongside making, you’ll be encouraged to explore sustainability, research, and creative problem solving, helping you develop your own identity as a maker, designer, artist or craftsperson.<br/><br/>In our studios and workshops 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.<br/><br/>As a student at Leeds Arts University, everything is on your doorstep. You’ll be able to explore galleries, exhibitions, and cultural hotspots across the city, with opportunities to take part in trips to events, inspiring studios, and cultural centres. 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.<br/><br/><br/>* This course is subject to approval<br/>
