Description:The MFA in Craft Media centres craft as a medium for conceptual exploration and critical dialogue through embodied material practices. You will be challenged to approach form, function, labour, skill, modes of production, materiality, modes of communication, and other theoretical investigations in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, studio-based program that creatively evaluates and pushes at the boundaries of contemporary craft.

Over the 20 months of the degree, you will probe questions of form, function, materiality, method, uncovering where tradition intersects with the new, and how diasporas and the movement of peoples connect with the movement of symbols, and stories and techniques.

You will immerse yourself in Craft discourses, research strategies, and thematic investigations leading toward a thesis and graduate exhibition. You may work intensively within Ceramics, Fibre, Glass, Jewellery and Metals, or you can build for yourself an interdisciplinary programme of study.
