Course Description

Be inspired and create extraordinary ceramic pieces on UCA’s MA Ceramics course, based in the World Craft Town of Farnham.

On this project-led and studio-based course, you’ll have the opportunity to create a range of objects, experiment with different materials and processes, delve into your research interests and develop your individual style.

The course supports a wide range of ceramic techniques, including historical, traditional and contemporary practices, and encourages innovation in ceramics design and technology.

We’ll guide you in maximising your talent and creative ability, further developing your skills for future engagement with the arts, crafts and design industries.

This course benefits from a cohort of expert staff that includes the nationally and internationally acclaimed ceramicist Professor Magdalene Odundo OBE, Professor Simon Olding (Director of our Crafts Study Centre) and Nicholas Lees, as well as a number of visiting artists such as Steve Brown and Clare Twomey.

It’s also home to our Crafts Study Centre – a purpose-built museum, research centre and gallery dedicated to crafts.
