Ceramics & Glass Royal College of Art

Ceramics & Glass Royal College of Art This is the page of the Ceramic & Glass programme at the Royal College of Art - world leading for research and creative practice.

The Ceramics & Glass programme is a world leader in research and practice. However we do not see ceramics and glass merely as a fixed set of media. Our programme is a site for discursive practice, where cultural, social, personal, historical and aesthetic concerns intersect. We believe that the skills of making and thinking can develop in tandem, and that the made object is a vehicle for expression that can engage with the individual and society. Our students’ work covers a wide spectrum – from design for manufacture to the unique art object. All the strands contribute to each other and form a single discipline, at the core of which is material understanding. Students learn through a mixture of workshops, lectures, tutorials and, most importantly, through their own practice. The programme offers:

individual studio work spaces
well-equipped workshops with facilities for undertaking most ceramic and glass processes
excellence of teaching by leading artists, designers and craftspeople
outstanding technical support from a team of highly skilled technical staff
strong research culture with project funding and doctoral student support from the AHRC
recent alumni including Anders Ruhwald, Barnaby Barford, Nao Matsunaga, Kerry Jameson, Heike Brachlow, Katharine Morling, Joe Harrington, Mike Eden, James Rigler, Matt Raw, Hitomi Hosono and Pernille Braun.
