Staff profile / Michael Hose

Principal Lecturer
Email: mhose@uwic.ac.uk

Michael Hose graduated in 1968 with M.Des (RCA). Engaged first as a researcher by Josiah Wedgwood plc, where his early work on the development of modelling devices fostered the company's later significant commitment to CAD/ CAM for both design and modelling. He later also worked as a shape designer for the company before establishing a practice as independent designer and manufacturer of ceramics. In his role as an academic, he founded and developed the Centre's taught MA course in the early 1980s and more recently the research degree programme.

His research activities relate to the examination of aspects of creative practice, most currently focusing upon the representation or expression of the human figure, through the medium of ceramics. Responsibilities within the Centre include the supervision of research degrees, the tutoring and supervision of masters' students and the conduct of research.

Mike Hose is a member of the Centre for Ceramics Research (http://www.wirad.ac.uk/research-themes/centre_for_ceramics_research/), part of the Fine Art & Ceramics theme within WIRAD.

Gaynor Kavanagh At Cardiff School of Art & Design, we believe in being at the top of our game and that includes being able to deliver programmes that really make a difference. We give our students every opportunity to explore all kinds of creative and professional possibilities, in an environment that recognises the importance of taking risks and seizing the initiative. We are interested in ideas and how these are examined through practice.
