Welcome to the BA (hons) Ceramics website
This is a vital, exciting and challenging course that encourages a wide, innovative and imaginative approach to clay based art practice.
Central to the philosophy of the course is the emphasis we place upon fostering your creativity, through the evolution of visual and practical skills and technical understandings.
History and theory forms an integral part of the course enabling you to understand the ways in which your practice is informed by the work of artists, designers and makers in the past and influenced by the current theories and debates of today.
‘At a time when ceramics education is being severely eroded, when courses are closing or being broadened into a nebulous dilution, Cardiff’s BA and MA programmes are nationally envied and respected.’
David Whiting, MA Ceramics External Examiner
You will be taught by a team of highly experienced academic and technical staff, dedicated to ceramics. Their input is complimented by lectures and workshops, delivered by eminent visiting artists, makers and theorists from across the UK, Europe and other key centres in the world.
The main aim of the course is to develop artists and makers who are well informed and have the capacity to express their ideas through the medium of ceramics with clarity, imagination and confidence.
Graduates can follow a wide range of careers related to art practice, including establishing their own studios, working in community arts, art therapy and modelling for animation.
A significant number of our graduates go on to undertake a masters programme before practising, or secure a PGCE, enabling them to teach as a career.
