The MA Glass programme encourages the development of individual and distinctive glass practice through engagement with contemporary approaches to the material, critical and cultural context and debate.
<p>You will explore a full range of material expressions that will encourage and challenge preconceptions about glass and its status within the world of craft, art and design.</p>
Balance 2, Laura Quinn, MA Glass
<p>The range of materials and processes covered includes hot glass, kiln-formed glass, coldworking, and architectural glass – resulting in a wide range of potential outcomes, from product design and sculpture to architectural installations. The programme is uniquely placed to offer a rich cross-disciplinary practice; you will have access to our spacious and well-equipped metal and jewellery studios, as well as ceramics, glass and resistant materials workshops, and our superbly equipped Fab Lab.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The programme addresses histories, technologies, contexts, material qualities, conceptual and narrative developments. Current issues around the discipline are explored, such as the rise of digital tools and technologies, hybrid practices, sustainability and globalisation. You are encouraged to consider these issues through testing, making, re-making, evaluating and positioning your critically engaged practice.</p>
<p>This programme encourages entrepreneurial creativity through self-initiated and independent approaches to making, whilst considering the subject at its extreme edges in relation to process, technique, application, potential customer use and audience.</p>
